This all worked out when he moved to Liberty Christian for this school year. It provided him different scenery and a different style that would help round out his game as he preps for college.
“They pretty much play five out, everybody active, everybody plays like a guard offense,” Hardy said. “I’ve gotten a lot better on the perimeter, and honestly, I feel like I’m an equal player on the perimeter now than I am in the post.”
This development is helping the 6-foor-4 power forward become an intriguing prospect. Hardy is ranked No. 97 in the Prep Hoops Indiana Top 200 updated last week.
His insides skills and the potential to play outside make him a potential three in college. It has helped him gather interest from multiple schools, including Earlham College and Anderson University.
“I’m kind of a do a little bit of everything type of player and that plays with the offensive strategies at Anderson and Earlham,” Hardy said. “Their offensive strategy doesn’t put any certain person in one position, so I should fit in with that.”
Hardy has said he isn’t sure when he will make a decision, but it will likely not come until after this high school season. This means he has some time to keep improving his all-around game and prep for what he hopes is a special season at Liberty Christian.
“I’ve enjoyed Liberty Christian, it has rounded out my game even more,” Hardy said. “It’s been a little bit of a change, but it’s best for me because I’m not 6’8″. I wish I was but I’m not, so I need to learn how to play on the perimeter.”
