Marian is going through a coaching search currently which could lead to changes in their current recruiting class, but Gustin is currently signed to play for the Knights and stood out playing on his future home floor on Sunday. The versatile 6’7″ forward is a talented offensive threat with versatility to score in a lot of different ways. He is a high-upside prospect that shined while playing against high level competition at the Top 60 Workout.

Gustin remains arguably the best player in the in-state 2024 class that still remains on the board. While Pendleton Heights has struggled this season (2-4), Gustin has been in the lone bright spot this year thus far showing off his versatility on both ends of the floor. The 6’7″ forward has always had a ton of upside, but that potential met production over the last year which led to his recruitment really heating up with multiple D1s involved. Gustin is a great athlete and has gotten stronger which has helped him as a finisher, rebounder, and defender. He and the Arabians have a chance to bounce back this week with a home game vs Guerin Catholic (12/12) and at Liberty Christian (12/16).

Gustin was the best player for Heights in this game and currently is one of the top forwards we have in the in-state 2024 class. In this game, thought he did really well coming off of screens creating space to get his silky smooth jumper to fall. What I like about Gustin is how good he flows up and down the floor. Thought he showed that he can be an overlooked rim protector at times because he had multiple blocks last night. Only issue I have is that he forces and rushes contested shots a little often. With his skill and athletic ability, there is without question D1 potential there.

This 6’7″ forward from Pendleton Heights played his way into a couple of Division I offers this summer as Mercer and Northern Kentucky got involved along with NAIA powerhouse Indiana Wesleyan. Gustin is a good athlete, has a very high upside offensively with a versatile skill set, and has gotten a lot stronger physically which helps him defensively and on the glass. Any low or mid-major program in need of a 4-man in the 2024 class should take a long look at this prospect over the next few months.

Early in the spring Gustin picked up a couple of Division I offers which turned heads across the state. The 6’7″ forward has always had a ton of upside, but that potential met production over the last year which led to his recruitment really heating up. Gustin is a good athlete and has gotten significantly stronger of late which has helped him as a finisher, rebounder, and defender. There is still a ton of upside to his game and it is very likely that his best basketball are years ahead of him.
