I spent my time in Hamilton, Ohio, watching The Clash...a huge event that has provided many kids the opportunity to be "seen" over the past several years. After you remove the core shoe company teams, many of the rest of the better teams/programs in the Midwest, Northeast, and South were in attendance. This serves as the third of eight articles I am writing to review some Indiana prospects who stood out to me at the event. This is not everyone who played well, nor is it someone from every single team...there were too many teams/prospects in attendance to cover everyone adequately. However, below are several prospects who played well when I was able to see them.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><font color="FFFFFF">.</font></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["511387"],"_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":"Brooklyn is a nice little guard who plays with a lot of energy. The problem is, I can't tell if she's better as a point guard or an undersized shooter/scorer. She has good quickness and can get into gaps easily, plus she has a solid mid-range game. At the same time, she has a nice spot-up game around the perimeter, and you must respect her from outside. If she can consistently create for teammates this Spring and keep turnovers down, she could see a lot of nice small college interest come her way. I also think she is an effective and feisty on-ball defender who can create turnovers.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["874332"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Another smaller guard, Elayni is a nice u0022sleeperu0022 from Western Indiana. She has great length at her height, she has speed u0026amp; quickness to work with, and she plays with a great motor. She isn't the most demonstrative player, but she has a quiet toughness about her and will take contact and keep going. She is shifty with the ball, she can get gaps and find teammates, and she's almost too unselfish at times. But she can bury open shots, she can finish around the basket, and she does a nice job of using her length and quickness to cause problems at the defensive end of the floor.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='923198' first='Riley' last='Vanaman']","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"12122","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Lebanon","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='712570' first='Indiana's' last='Best']","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Riley falls into that category of u0022sleepingu0022 small college prospects. She has a strong, athletic frame, she runs the floor well North/South, and she has some bounce to her. She plays with a great motor, she doesn't mind physicality, and she's a really nice rebounder and interior defender. She can come out and defend some bigger wings, but she's highly effective inside of 15-feet. She's also effective offensively inside of that same 15-foot bubble, and she gets a lot of her offense of off put-backs and dump-off passes from teammates. I feel like she could be a nice small college contributor.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["496026"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"I am a big fan of Jaeda's versatility and all-around game. She might not be the state's best in any one category, but she isn't really deficient at anything either. She has athletic strength, good speed, and she will compete each possession with urgency. Offensively, she can handle and run offense, she can get downhill North/South and finish inside, plus she has nice touch around the perimeter. Defensively, she can take on most guards and even some bigger wings. I feel like she reminds me a little of Center Grove's u003cstrongu003eAubrie Bookeru003c/strongu003e (2024) in terms of her balance and versatility.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["624876"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Camryn is in a 2026 graduating class with a lot of talented wings, but she has a tremendously high ceiling herself. She is extremely long, fluidly athletic, and all-around smooth. She has nice catch-and-shoot ability around the perimeter, but if you close out too strong, she'll put it on the floor and glide to the rim. She can flash to the mid-post and shoot or drive, and she'll pursue rebounds outside of her area. Defensively, she has the versatility to take on bigger guards, wings, and even some undersized forwards. Look for her to improve her consistency as she adds strength.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["553262"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"Chloe hit my radar in the Fall at a showcase event, came out and had a strong Winter for McCutcheon, then has been nothing but very good all Spring thus far. She has an athletic frame, nice length, and she's a solid all-around athlete. She is the type of wing shooter/scorer a lot of the Midwest's small colleges tend to really like, and it appears as though she's only going to keep improving. She has really nice touch outside, but this past weekend I felt like she did more off the bounce in transition and in the halfcourt than I recall. If she can prove to be an equally effective defender, watch out!","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["884434"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"Last weekend was my first time watching Carly in action. I'll say this...Rushville always has nice guards who play a number of roles/positions, and Carly is no different. She plays with a nice motor, has a balanced skillset, and is a nice athlete. She competes each possession, doesn't appear to back down from anyone, and she seems to come up with hustle plays each time out. I need to see more of her to see if she excels at any one thing specifically offensively, but if she can prove to run the show consistently and defend the point position well, she'll have plenty of interest moving forward.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":7,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-662c314705172"} /-->
