#1 Trey Kaufman, 6’9″ Forward, Silver Creek
Committed to Purdue
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 smooth leaper.
#2 Caleb Furst, 6’9″ Forward, Fort Wayne Blackhawk
Committed to Purdue.
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 Blake Wesley, 6’5″ Shooting Guard, South Bend Riley
Committed to Notre Dame
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.
#4 JR Konieczny, 6’6″ 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.
#5 Brooks Barnhizer, 6’6″ Shooting Guard, Lafayette Jeff
Committed to Northwestern
Barnhizer has some serious attributes with his shooting and ability to create off the dribble. He is also an underrated passer.
#6 Luke Goode, 6’5″ Shooting Guard, Homestead

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.
#7 Jayden Taylor, 6’4″ 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.
#8 Javon Small, 6’2″ Point Guard, Arizona Prep
Offers: Grand Canyon, Ball State, Indiana State, IPFW, Kent State, Miami Of Ohio
Smalls has risen dramatically over the summer with his play for George Hill/All Indy. He has flashed athleticism and scoring ability that makes him one of the best in this class.
#9 DJ Hughes, 6’7″ Forward, Lawrence North
Committed to Butler
Hughes is a really physical force inside at 240 pounds. He is ready for the tough rigors of the Big East at Butler..
#10 Blake Sisley, 6’9″ Forward, Heritage Hills
Committed to Evansville
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.
#11 Luke Brown, 6’0″ Point Guard, Blackford
Committed to Stetson
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.
#12 Shamar Avance, 6’2″ Point Guard, Lawrence North
Offers: Miami of Ohio IUPUI, Tennessee Martin
Avance is definitely the quickest PG in this class and can really get his team into transition in a hurry. Also a willing defender and clutch player.
#13 Jayden Brewer, 6’5″ Wing, Avon
Offers: Evansville, Miami of Ohio, Cleveland State
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.
#14 Jalen Blackmon, 6’1” Point Guard, Marion
Committed to Grand Canyon
No one shoots the ball better than Blackmon in what is a deep 2021 class. He will get back into form coming off injury and will look to have a big senior year.
#15 (Tie) Pierce Thomas, 6’5″ Guard, Brownsburg
Committed to 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.

Committed to Western Michigan
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.
