Possibly the best long term prospect in the Evansville 2030 class, Brody Overton Brody Overton 6'5" | PF IN of Evansville Mater Dei is a nice blend of size and skill. Big time defensive presence with good length and mobility to be a switchable defender and disruptive in passing lanes as well as a rim protector. Showed the skill to be able to rip and run off the defensive glass. Showcased a soft touch around the basket finishing with both hands. Really nice shooter off the catch and a real threat out of the pick and roll with good hands and footwork. Should get majority minutes on the varsity for an Evansville Mater Dei team that has the chance to win big this season.

The big man has the potential of being a special player in the near future. His size and skill gave him a distinct advantage over the opposition. Brody was the best rebounder and low post scorer on the basketball court. He dominated the glass on offense and defense. After watching him play, I believe he could become a complete player when he develops a consistent jump-shot. These skills will come with continued growth. In game 2 a majority of his scores came from the offensive rebounds he grabbed. Defensively, is where Brody shined! His physical presence made scoring a difficult task for the opposition. He excelled at blocking shots and protecting the paint. Brody is a young player with great upside. I expect him to successfully adjust to high school basketball.

One of the youngest prospects attending camp, Brody Overton Brody Overton 6'5" | PF IN of Evansville Mater Dei is a high potential forward that already has a big defensive impact on the floor and continues to become more skilled on the offensive end. Mobile big man that blocks shots and rebounds at a high level. Offensively more perimeter oriented with a smooth jumpshot, but has also continued to improved around the basket with a jump hook. Expected to be a varsity contributor from Day 1. Will have to add weight, but is starting off with a solid base skillset. Once he gets acclimated to the speed and physicality of the varsity game, he will be a game changer throughout his career.

We’ve written about a lot of the talented incoming freshmen in the Evansville area. However, Overton is arguably the one with the most long term upside. He has outstanding positional size as a 6’6″ wing/forward with a versatile skill set that projects very well. Look for him to factor into the equation right away at Evansville Mater Dei. He is definitely a Top 25 prospect in Indiana’s Class of 2030.

The Evansville area is starting to produce a good deal of young talent in the current rising freshman and sophomores classes. Overton should be one to watch right away at the varsity level for what will be a pretty good Evansville Mater Dei team. The 6’5″ wing/forward had a great summer with D1 Indiana 14u and checks a lot of boxes both in terms of physical tools and skill level. He will be one to get eyes on at the Prep Hoops Indiana Freshman Showcase.

A long and lanky forward with as much untapped potential as any 2030 prospect in the Evansville Area. Skilled inside-out forward that despite in relatively thin frame, he does a good job staying on balance. More comfortable facing up rather than a back to the basket scorer. Has a nice touch from midrange with the ability to stretch the floor out to the three-point line. Fluid athlete for his age and has all the tools to be a big time defender. Already controls the paint with his shot blocking ability. Could end up a special talent in the area.
