is now impacting the game on both ends of the floor. He’s a quick guard that plays with a good base. Thrives in transition where he plays with his eyes up and attacks getting downhill looking to make a play. Really good in the midrange. Shoots a soft shot with good elevation. Showed his ability to stop on a dime and rise up over defenders. The three-point shot is a work in progress, but is capable of knocking down multiple on a game. Unselfish player that keeps the ball moving. Learning to play with the intent to score more this summer as he will be asked to score more during his senior season.

He hoops with WeDifferent 812. Eastwood has to be in the conversation as one of the top defenders in Indiana. He completely cuts off the opposing players’ water. Elijah is a lockdown defender. He’s a versatile defender—Eastwood consistently takes on the challenge of guarding the opponent’s top player, regardless of position. He is a fierce competitor all while leading the team at the PG position. Look for Eastwood to be a difference maker with his defense.

was prepared to take a big step forward as the starting point guard at Evansville Bosse. Early season struggles haven’t wavered his confidence though. The last few outings from the junior have been steps in the right direction as he’s starting to play to his full potential as a defensive minded guard that impacts the game on both ends of the floor without having to need to score. He’s a lightning quick guard that is one of the best on ball defenders in the area. He does a good job pressuring while staying out of foul trouble. Offensively, he’s really good in the pick and roll where he’s able to get downhill. He has good court vision making the right reads. Has shown a nice pull-up midrange jumper where he can stop on a dime and elevate over defenders. With the unknown injury status of

Our Prep Hoops Indiana scout Logan Greenwell does a great job of providing more in-depth coverage of the greater Evansville area and he was raving about Eastwood coming out of this summer. He will be a key piece of the Evansville Bosse High School backcourt this season as a junior and is now ranked #91 in the Class of 2027 Prospect Rankings. We are anxious to see him more this season.

of Hoops Elite 2027. Eastwood was there whenever his team needed him throughout these past couple of days. He has been a constant producer in the categories of creating, assisting, stealing, and scoring the basketball and I’m sure that he plays that way on the high school floor as well. In general, he is very crafty in his movements and understands how to mentally beat his opponent. Whenever I was on the court this weekend watching him, he stood out as one of the most complete and he can build on that moving forward.
