Now, I realize this isn’t “everyone”, and there might be better prospects out there, but for one reason or another I am anxious to see these young ladies in action in March and April. This specific article will focus on six small forwards, two each from 2024, 2025, and 2026.

, 2024, 5-9 SF, Center Grove H.S.
– On a balanced and deep Center Grove team, Audrey led them in scoring at around 13 ppg. She has a wiry-strong frame, she’s a solid athlete in most directions, but she is known for her ability to really shoot the basketball. She will be with
Indiana Elite
Lightning.

– Nadia had a strong year for the Lady Indians, and she has proven to be one of the better defenders in this 2024 class. She’s a nice, strong athlete with a motor, and she looks more comfortable offensively as well. She will play with

VTR this Spring.

, 2025, 5-11 SF, Munster H.S.
– Nina came into her own this Winter, and she definitely looks the part. She is one of the longest kids I’ve seen at her height, she is quick-footed and can defend point guards, and she has some bounce. The skill continues to develop as well. She plays for City Elite.

– Lauren was hurt some during the season, but she’s back and playing again. I’m anxious to see her this Spring because of her rapid growth and ability to shoot the ball from outside. Once she adds strength, it will change her game. She’s with

– Indiah burst onto the scene this year for Hammond Central and showed a lot of promise. She is extremely athletic, fast, and she plays well in the open floor. As she continues to build skill, she could be scary good, because she is very talented.

, 2026, 5-11 SF, Borden H.S.
– Ava was impressive in the Fall at a showcase event, then turned that momentum into a strong Freshman season for Borden. She is a really nice athlete, she continues to improve her skill, and she has a bright future. She will play with Dana Evans Elite this year.
