This past weekend was the annual Spring Bling tournament at SportONE Fieldhouse in Fort Wayne, Indiana. With a number of teams from Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, and Illinois, it made for a competitive environment in each division, and several younger prospects really stepped up. Below is a look at five wing prospects who I thought stood out during my opportunities to watch them play.

– Not being enrolled at an IHSAA school, Gloria has reportedly opted to reclassify and move from the Class of 2022 to the Class of 2023. That will be reflected when those rankings updates come out next week. This past weekend, however, she was consistently knocking down shots from all spots on the floor. She has a strong frame and can get to the rim, she finishes in different ways at the basket, plus she can make shots from the perimeter consistently. She plays with a quiet toughness, a nice motor, and she will take on all comers. I still think she can defend the ball and protect the middle just a little better.

– Bailey was recently selected as an Indiana Junior All-Star, and she looked the part over the weekend. She has gotten stronger but is still wiry, she plays with a lot of bounce, and she changes directions almost effortlessly. For those who haven’t seen Garrett play, she is every bit of a “Class 4A athlete”. Bailey has also continued to work on building her skillset. Her range was more mid-post as a youngster, but now she’s much more comfortable to 3-point range. I still think her change-of-direction ball-handling could improve, but she can get to the rim straight-line in a hurry. She’s also a versatile and effortful defender.

, 2024, 6-1 SF, Carroll H.S. (Fort Wayne)
– Lexi has always possessed incredible upside, talent, and skill at her size, so when you watch her, it looks as if the game just comes easily to her. In one specific contest over the weekend, she was matched up against a high-level opponent with a number of legitimate Division-I prospects, and she really stepped up. You could see her go to that next level, and she was as aggressive offensively as I can remember seeing her. She was making shots outside, attacking the basket strong and finishing through contact, and she made a couple of really nice plays defensively. She clearly showed why she is our #4 2024 prospect.
Chloey Graham

Gibson Southern | 2024
State

, 2024, 5-9 SG, Gibson Southern H.S.
– I think Chloey is primed for a nice couple of years to finish her career. She really stepped up over the Winter, leading Gibson Southern in scoring (16.9 ppg), steals (2.3 spg), 3-pointers made (65), 3-point percentage (39%), and FT percentage (81%). She seems like a tireless worker who always puts time in working on her game. Chloey has a strong frame, solid all-around athleticism, and she will surprise you with a quick burst from time to time in order to get downhill and attack the basket. She also rebounds the ball well for a wing guard, and she can be a versatile defender who takes on guards or smaller forwards.

, 2025, 5-10 SG, Fishers H.S.
– Allison is a strong-for-her-age Freshman who saw some minutes in a number of games for a backcourt heavy Fishers team this Winter. She does have solid ball skill, and a year ago I would have considered her more of a combo guard, but she is looking to score it right now on every catch, and why not? She is a legitimate threat from all areas on the floor. Her perimeter shooting looks improved, and her release is getting quicker, plus she’s stronger than ever attacking the basket and finishing through contact. She could stand to be a little better on the ball defensively, but she does rebound it well for her position.
