At the end of the day basketball is about putting the ball in the basket. There are very few rising juniors in Indiana who do that as well as this 6’2″ guard from Merrillville High School. Hardiman especially got going during a stretch in the second quarter, but was a consistent factor all game long for the winning team. He finished with 16 points.

Hardiman took part in this game as a freshman as well. The 6’4″ long, lean guard from Merrillville High School finished with 16 points and 5 rebounds on 7-11 shooting to help lead the North All-Stars to a win on Monday night. He is so good at getting to the rim, showcasing a tight handle and some explosiveness when finishing.

of Merrillville HS. While it took him a little bit to get going and he struggled to get his shot to fall, Hardiman eventually caught his stride and finished with 17 points in the loss to Northridge. Hardiman has so much length, making him such a tough matchup for any perimeter defender with his ability to take you off the dribble and score above the rim. Tons of potential in his game.

had it going as soon as he stepped on the floor. His combination of speed, length, and athleticism made him an impossible cover in the 3v3. His quick first step helped him get to the basket where he was able to finish efficiently. Just a lengthy 6’3” guard that is wired to score.

The highest ranked prospect to attend our Sophomore ID Camp, Hardiman did what he does best on Sunday…score the basketball. He is seemingly impossible to stop when he gets a head of steam downhill to the rim. Hardiman is so quick and covers a lot of ground with his first step. As he attacks the basket he fluidly changes direction and is slippery off of the bounce consistently knifing his way through defenders to the rim. His outside shot continues to progress as well which will only put more pressure on opposing defenses. Hardiman had a massive freshman season at Merrillville in terms of scoring the basketball and is poised for yet another big year.

One of the highest ranked prospects that will be in attendance for our Sophomore ID Camp, Hardiman is ranked #7 in the Class of 2028 by us here at Prep Hoops Indiana. One of the best pure scorers in the class, Hardiman put up an impressive 15.5 points per game as a freshman at Merrillville High School. The 6’2″ guard is aggressive offensively, can create his own shot from all levels, and is growing as a playmaker. We are excited to have him at our event.
