78. Best Player This Day as Gavin demonstrated to us that he has all the offensive/physical quick tools for Big Ten/ACC Basketball if he continues to work on physical strength gain . Gavin showed us a big time trey ball shot in perfect shooters rhythm where he released the ball in perfect form at the top of his very hi jump off the floor. His ability to also attack the basket in one dribble and ferociously dunk also cemented our opinion Gavin is Big Time for College and possible for NBA if his desire is to work towards those goals. Schaefer will be scouted again all next April and July as he participates in the legendary Evansville Basketball Club that has helped 1000's of players the past 28 years.

86. email: malting40@aol.com. Big fella was very impressive this day with his soft hands,low post scoring moves and face up shooting skill to 22'. His aggressiveness was a bit sporadic but when he got after it he blocked shots and owned the offensive/defensive paint area. Muscle mass gain will give him the confidence to dominate in the manner his great skill dictates. All D1's must follow him the next two years as he may still grow to 7'0 since his maturity is underdeveloped! Even without vertical physical growth, Landon is a huge Missouri Valley D1 Prospect if he gains the 25 pounds of muscle as a PF.

76. The most versatile player of the day as he attacked the basket without peer . He Shot and scored everywhere on court. Robinson is college ready strong-explosive-quick now. He can lock down perimeter scorers and also prolifically score himself. He should be signed by NCAA D2 out of high school or go big time junior college in order to make the Big Ten.

87. This lefty hard working SF is a natural in the post with every scoring move in the book. He has a pure shot to 22' and crafty mid range scoring shots facing up to the basket. He is a steal for small colleges now and possibly NCAA D1 if he continues to elevate a perimeter scoring game in dedicated drill work.

21. He easily could have won our player of the day trophy or shooter of the day because he was just that good as a flawless take control player at both ends of the court. Yet, since he showed the best court awareness all day while making his 'mates better, he won our best playmaker of the day trophy. HIS HUGE GAME IQ and overall skill set could translate easily into playing College at Indiana,Purdue,Wisconsin ,Indiana State or Evansville. THOSE SCHOOLS should all be recruiting him and seriously considering offering Stein.HIS DEVELOPMENT THE NEXT two years at school and in Mike Thomas's Evansville Basketball Club will be fun to observe.

22. Line backer strong at both ends of the court whether he is attacking the basket off the dribble or attacking the defensive boards for his team. his ability to guard all positions and his relentless /physical play at both ends of the court predicts that he will develop himself into a college basketball scholarship prospect if he will continue working on offensive scoring moves. The intangible of physical toughness he now possesses is why he was our toughest player of the day trophy and why all colleges should investigate. Dozens of colleges ask us yearly for a tough kid and Stauber is as tough as they are created.

100. Quick off his feet and very active player who battles around the basket for rebounds, scoring opportunities and defensive stops.His court awareness and footwork has greatly improved from last year's showcase. He is a steal now for small colleges who need a post presence. He can be big time in D1 if he chooses to work hard the next year or take the Junior College route in his first two years of college.

Quick on quick playmaking is what he does best. He playmaked all day and showed us a a pure shot when he chose to shoot and a huge control of the game when the ball was in his hands leading his team. West's quick feet and huge game IQ predicts to us that if he gets stronger in the weight room and excels next April/July with Evansville Basketball Club then he should earn a grant/scholarship for college basketball.

THE MOST VERSATILE PLAYER of the day as MARIO guarded all five positions and showed us skills all over the court inside and out. He is very productive defensively and offensively making plays to help his team. A very good triple threat driving to the basket, he must become a much better shooter and scorer behind 22' line for his best prospects in college basketball.

5. He hit treys, playmaked his team and played all day in perpetual motion like the ever ready bunny. He won our best defender player of the day trophy since he was in passing lanes creating havoc and he often times just stole the ball from his opponent. He will continue to develop into a college basketball prospect under the tutelage of former Ball State star Lasalle Thompson,III.

Huge physical specimen appears carved out of stone. He has the broad frame, long arms,quick hops and relentless physical play to build into a NCAA D1 PF. he scored well all day around the basket.He simply needs much repetition in practice on post skills and a great deal of court time developing a much better feel for the game at both ends of the court. His intense efforts all day predict he will put the time in the gym necessary for development. Junior college is probable best route for post high school matriculation. He then should be primed for D1 NCAA after JUCO development.

41. His jumper is sound but needs a quicker release. His talent is his very active aggressive play at both ends of the court slashing powerfully to the basket off the dribble and crashing the boards for rebounds.HIS OFFENSIVE game needs stretched from forward to off guard in dedicated drill work. Exciting college prospect just based on his quicks to the ball and athleticism.

4. Son of the rock creek coach,Will is very sound fundamentally at both ends of the court. This day he deferred to his team mates as a playmaker and leader on the court . Will is the pass first shoot second, make everybody else better type of point guard every team needs. He is excellent small college prospect and one to follow the next two years for overall development.

1. Very heady HI IQ PG floor general who hit open shots but most impressed us with his desire to run his team with pass first help 'mates first mentality. HIS OBVIOUS LOVE FOR THE GAME and serious approach to each possession predicts to us he will continually elevate execution of his scoring ability and physical muscle gain.

11. Very solid ball handler and off ball defender. Damon drained many treys this day and could easily have won the best shooter of the day. He just needs muscle mass gain and constant elevation of his skills in drill work to become a good college prospect in two years.

23. Stocky strong now. His conditioning should focus on core strength and plyometric training. He shot well all day and exhibited hard nosed tuffness. Outstanding small college prospect to scout the next two years.

26. College ready now as far as muscle mass is concerned. Jeff needs dedicated quicks/plyometrics program that will elevate his superb offensive skill to a higher level of execution for college basketball consideration. Shooting skill is his strength as he drained several trey shots he took in natural flow of the offense. NCAA D2's and NAIA's should all be recruiting his game.!

16. Sound High school basketball player at both ends with intense run thru wall mentality. This day he played excellent defense and was a very unselfish offensive team player. He needs intensive plyometric and core strength training to complement his game now and so he can strive for college basketball in two years.

Stocky SG played well all day and scored in flow of the offense.He showed us a pure trey ball shot which is understandable since he trains regularly with former Butler University shooting star Dave Speckman. His game is solid fundamentally at both ends of the court but he needs Lasalle Thompson's quicks training for college basketball consideration as a prospect. He shows a Love for the game that predicts he will put in all work necessary to play college basketball.
