<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"small"} --> <p class="has-small-font-size"><em>The featured image is of [player_tooltip player_id='326485' first='Natalia' last='Franklin'] (2024) of Lawrence Central High School (in red).</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Indianapolis has a multitude of nicknames, from Naptown, to the Circle City, as well as The Crossroads of America. It is home to the WNBA's Indiana Fever, the NBA's Indiana Pacers, the NFL's Indianapolis Colts, as well as colleges of all sizes. The Indiana Repertory Theatre, the Madam Walker Legacy Center, Clowes Memorial Hall, and the Murat Theatre, among other venues, also bring a number of events to the Hoosier State's capital city. And if you're into speed, you can always venture over to Speedway, Indiana, and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway...The Racing Capital of the World.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Four years ago, when I first started with Prep Girls Hoops, I introduced different areas of the state and their top prospects. I wanted to again work through that this Fall and offer you a much more detailed look at the Hoosiers State's different regions and the prospects who should shine this Winter throughout those regions. This article will focus on Indianapolis itself, specifically those prospects who play at the more than 40 high schools within Marion County. Of the 13 schools in the state with an enrollment greater than 3000 students, five of them are located inside the Indianapolis city limits, including three of the four biggest (<em>Ben Davis-4557, Warren Central-3868, &amp; North Central-3709</em>).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Year after year, Indianapolis produces a great deal of talent and highly ranked teams, so it should come to no one's surprise that players like 2021 Miss Basketball <strong>Jayla Smith</strong> (<em>Lawrence North</em>) comes directly from Naptown, as did prospects like <strong>Tanyuel Welch</strong> (<em>North Central 2022</em>), <strong>Ariana Wiggins</strong> (<em>Heritage Christian 2021</em>), <strong>Meg Newman</strong> (<em>North Central 2021</em>), <strong>Khera Goss</strong> (<em>Ben Davis 2020</em>), <strong>Jasmine McWilliams</strong> (<em>North Central 2020</em>), <strong>Shaila Beeler</strong> (<em>Warren Central 2019</em>), and <strong>Rikki Harris</strong> (<em>North Central 2019</em>). All of those ladies were Indiana All-Stars and are currently playing at Division-I schools.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At the same time, with so many big schools and so many schools in such a small area, prospects can often go underrecruited and even unnoticed at times within their own area/school. I often encourage small colleges to visit Indianapolis and watch entire rosters at schools, not focusing solely on one or two players, because there are several hidden gems each year in Naptown. With that said, I wanted to take the time to highlight a handful of girls who may not often grab the spotlight, but who deserve their share of recognition for their basketball abilities. All of these girls are strictly from schools in Marion County and Indianapolis.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6300ec4c10813","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["59753"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Nakiya could make a big impact for North Central this season.

She is powerfully strong, very physical, and she loves to initiate contact inside. She has some touch to about 12-feet, and she can work the short corners and mid-post a little.

She has some touch to near the 3-point line, she can go off the bounce two to three dribbles and get somewhere with it, and she has a variety of moves around the block.

Indianapolis has a multitude of nicknames, from Naptown, to the Circle City, as well as The Crossroads of America. It is home to the WNBA's Indiana Fever, the NBA's Indiana Pacers, the NFL's Indianapolis Colts, as well as colleges of all sizes. The Indiana Repertory Theatre, the Madam Walker Legacy Center, Clowes Memorial Hall, and the Murat Theatre, among other venues, also bring a number of events to the Hoosier State's capital city. And if you're into speed, you can always venture over to Speedway, Indiana, and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway...The Racing Capital of the World.

Four years ago, when I first started with Prep Girls Hoops, I introduced different areas of the state and their top prospects. I wanted to again work through that this Fall and offer you a much more detailed look at the Hoosiers State's different regions and the prospects who should shine this Winter throughout those regions. This article will focus on Indianapolis itself, specifically those prospects who play at the more than 40 high schools within Marion County. Of the 13 schools in the state with an enrollment greater than 3000 students, five of them are located inside the Indianapolis city limits, including three of the four biggest (Ben Davis-4557, Warren Central-3868, & North Central-3709).

Year after year, Indianapolis produces a great deal of talent and highly ranked teams, so it should come to no one's surprise that players like 2021 Miss Basketball Jayla Smith (Lawrence North) comes directly from Naptown, as did prospects like Tanyuel Welch (North Central 2022), Ariana Wiggins (Heritage Christian 2021), Meg Newman (North Central 2021), Khera Goss (Ben Davis 2020), Jasmine McWilliams (North Central 2020), Shaila Beeler (Warren Central 2019), and Rikki Harris (North Central 2019). All of those ladies were Indiana All-Stars and are currently playing at Division-I schools.

At the same time, with so many big schools and so many schools in such a small area, prospects can often go underrecruited and even unnoticed at times within their own area/school. I often encourage small colleges to visit Indianapolis and watch entire rosters at schools, not focusing solely on one or two players, because there are several hidden gems each year in Naptown. With that said, I wanted to take the time to highlight a handful of girls who may not often grab the spotlight, but who deserve their share of recognition for their basketball abilities. All of these girls are strictly from schools in Marion County and Indianapolis.

Claire is a gritty, tough-nosed, hard-working, therefore enjoyable player to watch. She does a little of everything as a combo guard, from running offense and finding open teammates, to knocking down shots consistently from the perimeter (29-81, 36% in 2021-2022),…
