It's an incredible high school event weekend at Southport High School on Saturday with multiple tremendous matchups on tap all day.
Indiana prospects 2023 forward Xavier Booker (Cathedral), 2023 forward JQ Roberts (Bloomington North), 2023 wing Logan Imes (Zionsville) all in action. Booker and Roberts have IU offers while Imes has visited IU a few times and has some interest from the Hoosiers.
Other players in action include Purdue 2022 commits guard Fletcher Loyer (Homestead), guard Braden Smith (Westfield), 2023 commit guard Myles Colvin (Heritage Christian), Wisconsin 2022 commit guard Connor Essegian (Central Noble), Eastern Kentucky 2022 commit guard Tayshawn Comer (Cathedral), Murray State 2022 commit wing Jaxson Edwards (Cathedral) and uncommitted prospects 2022 guard Nick Klaiber (Bloomington North), 2022 forward Andrew Leeper (Homestead), 2023 forward Jake Davis (Cathedral).
A younger guys who could emerge on IU's radar includes 2024 Lyna Brooks (Franklin Central).
We will have @KylerStaley there all day providing updates for the site. And on that note, welcome him aboard! He does a great job with in-state scouting and will add to our boots on the ground locally.
Below is the schedule:
12:30 pm - Heritage Christian vs Southport
2:00 pm - Bloomington North vs Franklin Central
3:30 pm - Central Noble vs Barr-Reeve
5:00 pm - Zionsville vs Crispus Attucks
6:45 pm - Covington Catholic (Ky.) vs Cathedral
8:30 pm - Homestead vs Westfield

2023 Finnish guard Miro Little continues to be in contact with Indiana and Dane Fife and the relationship continues to develop into a 'great' one.
UPDATE: Dane Fife was supposed to fly out to Finland this weekend to see Little, he told me. Unfortunately, there was an issue with his flight and he won't make it.
That would have been Fife's second visit out there this fall/winter.
Little and Indiana have strong mutual interest and they remain trying to setup an official visit early 2022.
Indiana, Villanova, Baylor, USC are the main group of teams involved at this moment.
Little is averaging nearly a triple double this season.

2023 four-star point guard Jeremy Fears announced a top-5 list of Michigan, Michigan State, Kansas, Illinois and UConn. This was no surprise that IU was no longer involved. IU started prioritizing 2023 commit Gabe Cupps and obviously did a great job landing him. With Cupps and Jakai Newton committed, IU didn't pursue Fears much more.

Small Note...
Montverde (FL) Academy lost last night on a buzzer-beater to Duncanville (TX). It's their second-straight loss. Kwame 'KJ' Evans had 12 points and Jalen Hood-Schifino struggled, with just 4 points, 8 assists and 5 turnovers.
Below are some expanded videos highlights of last week's games against Sunrise Christian (KS), Oak Hill (VA) and IMG (FL).
