2021 Prospect Rankings: Centers

<p>The class of 2021 has proven over and over again that it is likely to be one of the best this state has had in quite some time. Best since 2012 at the least. Now, following a crazy Spring, we are attempting to sort out our newest version of the 2021 Prospect Rankings.  Today, we have updated our Position Rankings for the class of 2021.</p> <table class="tablepress" cellspacing="10" cellpadding="10"> <tbody> <tr> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1"><b>Pos #</b></p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p2"><b>Prospect</b></p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p2"><b>HT</b></p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p2"><b>POS</b></p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p2"><b>High School</b></p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p2"><b>AAU</b></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">1</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p2"><b>Rocco Muratori</b></p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">7'0</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">C</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p2">West Lafayette</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p2">Indy Heat EYBL 2021</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">2</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p2"><b>Langdon Hatton</b></p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">6'9</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">C</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p2">North Harrison</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p2">Indiana Elite South 2021</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">3</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p2"><b>Jordan Thomas</b></p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">6’6</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">C</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p2">New Albany</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p2">Indiana Elite South 2021</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">4</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p2"><b>Riley Duncan</b></p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">6'10</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">C</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p2">Cowan</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p2">Hayward Hoops 2021</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">5</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p2"><b>Payton Sparks</b></p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">6'6</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">C</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p2">Winchester</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p2">Indiana Elite All-In 2020</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">6</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p2"><b>Adam O'Dell</b></p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">6'6</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">C</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p2">South Bend St. Joseph</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p2">Indiana Elite Ice 2021</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">7</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p2"><b>Christian DeCosta</b></p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">6'7</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">C</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p2">Indianapolis Tindley</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p2">Indy Heat Red 2021</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">8</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p2"><b>Luke Fowler</b></p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">6'6</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p1">C</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p2">Mooresville</p> </td> <td class="td1" valign="top"> <p class="p2">Indiana Elite Central 2021</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>When looking into the rankings of our Centers, we have a few more names to the list. With 8 overall, that isn’t a ton but this is a position that will get syphoned from pretty much it’s entirety of their high school careers. But, that doesn’t mean it is without talent.   Rocco Muratori still sits at the top as a 7-footer with some game but health will be interesting to follow for him.  Langdon Hatton has really stepped up this Spring and looks spectacular so far. </p> <p>Further down the list, we have been drawn to the play of guys like Adam O’Dell and Payton Sparks. O’Dell is a guy that really got back on track this spring and looks much more impactful around the rim. Sparks is a new name to the list and probably the guy that is going to make the biggest jump on this list because of his strength and mobility.</p> <p>Overall, the 8 guys here provide possibilities for every level and some high-upside too. Players like Hatton, Thomas, and Sparks can be guys that can step up and possibly move positions or improve their stock the most over the coming months.</p>
