The annual Hoosier Basketball Magazine Senior Top-60 Showcase will be this coming Sunday, March 5th, at Beech Grove High School. While a number of the players selected by HBM are already committed to colleges, I wanted to focus on a handful who are uncommitted and who could make really nice "late gets" for colleges out there. If one of the below players is already committed or has made college plans, please let me know, and I will make a note of that. Thank you!   [player_tooltip player_id='178231' first='Trinity' last='Archey'], 2023, 5-6 G, North Central H.S. (Indianapolis) - Trinity is a skilled, hard-working, tough-nosed combo guard. She plays both backcourt positions, and she makes you think she is bigger than she is with her contributions. With her big school experience, she could be a really nice small college "get".   [player_tooltip player_id='127215' first='Lauren' last='Barker'], 2023, 5-5 G, Columbus North H.S. - Lauren is another tough-nosed, hard-working combo guard. She is a talented perimeter shooter who you can't allow space, but she can also slide over and manage a team. I think she's a "culture" type of kid, and she understands her role very well.   [player_tooltip player_id='59729' first='Savanna' last='Bischoff'], 2023, 5-9 G, Center Grove H.S. - Savanna has good height, length, and she's a fluid athlete. She plays with a nice toughness to her game, and she can attack the basket to score, knock down the occasional jumper, or even handle the ball from time to time. She's also a versatile defender.   [player_tooltip player_id='206425' first='Gloria' last='Brewer'], 2023, 5-7 G, Greencastle H.S. - Gloria reclassified from 2022 to 2023 this year, and she put up tremendous numbers for Greencastle. She is strong, she has a very balanced skillset, and she has a natural feel for the game. She's such a crafty scorer, but she can also facilitate when necessary.   [player_tooltip player_id='127219' first='Caitlyn' last='Campbell'], 2023, 5-11 W, Winchester H.S. - Caitlyn is a long, fluid, and smooth wing athlete. She plays sort of a point forward role for Winchester, but she can get to the basket and create for teammates, plus she's a capable shooter when open and in rhythm. She's a multisport kid with great versatility.   [player_tooltip player_id='59746' first='Abby' last='Fleetwood'], 2023, 5-9 G, Indian Creek H.S. - Abby is a tough-nosed, strong, North/South athlete. She can push the tempo in transition or manage a team in the half-court. She really sacrificed this year and accepted her role as the setup person on a loaded Indian Creek team. She can shoot/score.   [player_tooltip player_id='460828' first='Sydney' last='Keane'], 2023, 5-7 G, Bellmont H.S. - Sydney is another nice, skillful, effortful Northeast Indiana guard. She plays with a great motor, she's a willing and capable defender, plus she can shoot/score the ball, get to the basket and draw free throws, or she can manage the offense in the halfcourt.   [player_tooltip player_id='178242' first='Reagan' last='Martin'], 2023, 5-11 F, Owen Valley H.S. - Reagan is a really unique front-liner who uses her size and strength inside at times, but she also has great touch around the perimeter and can play effectively in a pick-and-pop system. I like her energy, her versatility, and her quiet toughness a lot.   [player_tooltip player_id='127231' first='Abby' last='Parsons'], 2023, 5-8 W, Cascade H.S. - Abby is a little deceiving at first glance. She is a strong, physical, tough-nosed wing. You almost think she is a '4', but she has ball skill, good vision, and she can shoot it outside. She's a highly productive kid who I think can really help a small college.   [player_tooltip player_id='127232' first='MaKaya' last='Porter'], 2023, 5-11 F, Mishawaka Marian H.S. - MaKaya missed much of the season after suffering a Spring 2022 ACL injury. She played a handful of games at the end, but this weekend could be big for her to impress what small colleges are on hand. She is strong, athletic, skillful, and she plays with a great motor.   [player_tooltip player_id='241193' first='Grace' last='Stapleton'], 2023, 5-5 G, Eastern Hancock H.S. - Grace is a really nice game-managing point guard on the ball, but she can be a dangerous shooter when they play her off the ball. She has touch/range to about 27-feet, and she's accurate with any rhythm. She has a good hoops IQ, and she handles it well.   [player_tooltip player_id='59781' first='Sanaa' last='Thomas'], 2023, 5-5 PG, Warren Central H.S. - Sanaa was a four-year Varsity player for Warren Central, and she has talent and skill. She is more so quick than fast, but she has a great handle, she can really pass it, and she's a capable perimeter shooter. She just has a nice overall feel for the game.   [player_tooltip player_id='127242' first='Olivia' last='Waters'], 2023, 5-11 W, Blackford H.S. - "Liv" is a long, wiry-strong, North/South athlete. For Blackford, she often handles the ball like a point forward, but during the grassroots seasons she plays more of a true wing spot, knocks down open shots, and attacks the basket. She has a lot to offer a college.   [player_tooltip player_id='59789' first='Linzie' last='Wernert'], 2023, 5-8 F, Lanesville H.S. - Linzie is a rugged, tough-nosed, physical forward who can play inside or out. She is best attacking from the mid-post, but she can step outside, and she's not afraid of battling bigger players around the rim. She plays with a great motor, and she willingly defends.
