Prep Hoops Indiana Weekly Recruiting Update (7/29)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We have reached the unofficial end to the grassroots basketball season. The annual GRBA National Championship in Fort Wayne, which culminated on Sunday evening, marks the virtual end of the summer for Indiana prospects though there will still be a few stragglers playing this coming weekend. Then, August brings a lot of Elite Camps into the mix which Prep Hoops Indiana will have a presence at. After consecutive live period weekends, many college staffs spent last week meeting and finalizing their summer big board while extending some offers to end the summer. Also, nearly 40 small college coaches were still out on the road recruiting in Fort Wayne this past weekend. Let's run through all of the recent offers and visits like we do every week here at Prep Hoops Indiana.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1297069' first='Justin' last='Kirby'] (Fishers H.S. 2025) stayed hot on the recruiting trail this past week adding scholarship offers from Belmont and Valparaiso.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The offers continued to roll in for [player_tooltip player_id='1297093' first='Michael' last='Cooper'] (Jeffersonville H.S. 2025) this past week.
