Lander is one of the top point guards in the state in any class and a Top 20 player nationally. He has freakish athletic ability with a 38 inch vertical. He should playing up with Indiana Elite that he can lead a team and score whenever he wants.
#2 Caleb Furst, 6’9″ Forward, Fort Wayne Blackhawk
Offers: Indiana, Purdue, Stanford, Notre Dame, Virginia, Maryland, California, Louisville, Northwestern, Iowa, Ohio State, Michigan State, Butler
Furst is another Top 30 nationally ranked player and is really fluid and skilled. He was a key piece playing up with Spiece Indy Heat this spring and summer and seemed to improve with each outing.
#3 Trey Kaufman, 6’9″ Forward, Silver Creek
Offers: Cincinnati, Indiana, Xavier, Evansville, Indiana State, Louisville
Kaufman will be working on his second straight Class 3A state title this year and is one of the top players in the country. He is a force on the inside and a quick leaper.

Wesley is the son of former player Derrick Wesley. He is a superior athlete with a high motor and blew up in the spring after some great performances on the Under Armour Association circuit. Strong skill set and work ethic.
#5 JR Konieczny, 6’5″ Shooting Guard, South Bend St. Joseph’s
Committed to Notre Dame
Konieczny is really long and has superior shooting ability, which is always attractive at the next level. He has committed early to Notre Dame so won’t have far to go from home.
#6 Keon Thompson, 6’0″ Guard, Merrillville
Offers: Miami of Ohio, New Orleans, Valpo
I know this is higher than other services have him but Thompson is EXPLOSIVE. He didn’t get to play as much over the spring and summer AAU wise, which may have hurt recruiting some. I look for him to average close to 30 points from Merrillville as a junior. He has really worked on his shooting. If he does that with consistency, watch out.
#7 Luke Goode, 6’5″ SHooting Guard, Homestead
Offers: Louisville, Northwestern, Illinois, Xavier, Maryland, Iowa, Butler, IUPUI
Goode is an elite shooter, which is really coveted, especially when you have some size. He played up at times with Spiece Indy Heat and held his own.
#8 Jalen Blackmon, 6’2″ Guard, Marion
Offers: Miami of Ohio, Houston
Like father and brother, Blackmon can really shoot it and is likely the best shooter in this class. He can also create off the dribble and will go down in history and one of the top scorers ever in Indiana.
#9 DJ Hughes, 6’7″ Wing, Lawrence North
Offers: IUPUI, Western Illinois, Toledo, New Orleans, Morehead State, Ball State
Hughes had a very good late summer as far as offers go and picked several mid major offers. He could see that total go up further with continuing to show he can shoot it and to demonstrate some shots off the dribble.
#10 Luke Brown, 6’0″ Point Guard, Blackford
Offers: Iona, Ball State, Akron, Indiana State, Kent State, Milwaukee
Brown is another player in this class (along with Blackmon) who is really putting up numbers at a all time rate. He ca also create off the dribble and gained a string of additional offers late summer.
#11 Jayden Taylor, 6’3″ Guard, Perry Meridian
Committed to Butler
Taylor is a well built player and also a good defender. He can create off the dribble and plays well in transition.
#12 (tie) Jayden Brewer, 6’5″ Wing, Avon
Offers: Evansville, Miami of Ohio
Brewer is EXPLOSIVE and has already put a few players in the rim. He is a quick leaper and plays really well in transition. He could land at the high major level with improved outside shooting.
#13 Quimari Peterson, 5’11” Point Guard, Gary Westside
Offers: New Orleans
Peterson is a smaller guard that can really set and change the tempo from the point guard position. Very quick and capable at creating his shot and finishing at the rim.
#14 (tie) Pierce Thomas, 6’5″ Wing, Brownsburg
Offers: Butler
Thomas is a freak athlete and has been at the rim for a long time. What he has really improved is his outside shooting, which could take him to the next level.
#14 (tie) Gus Etchison, 6’1″ Point Guard, Hamilton Heights
Offers: Western Michigan, IUPUI, Incarnate Word
Etchison can put the ball in the hole in a variety of ways and is sneaky explosive. He will be one of the top scorers in the state his last two years.

Sisley has great size and footwork, which comes in part from playing tennis, and has developed deep range as well. He is a prospect that could move up this list in a very crowded class of 2021.
