Saturday was a full day at the Bill Hensley Run ‘N Slam. Indiana Basketball Source spent most of the day watching younger players, but 17U brought many standouts.
One in-state 2023 that has garnered some attention this spring is North Central shooting guard Joey Brown. Brown has spent the spring playing with George Hill All Indy-Miles. The 2023 guard was in action over the weekend at the Grassroots Showcase event in Louisville.
On Thursday, Westfield High School and Grand Park Premier point guard Braden Smith (2022) verbally committed to Purdue University. The Boilermakers offered Smith after his strong showing at the Midwest Mania over the weekend.

One prospect who had a good showing at the Grassroots Showcase was Evansville Bosse guard Julian Norris. While playing for C2K Elite, Norris had a strong showing against Meanstreets as he shot the ball exceptionally well from beyond the arc and even showed flashes of putting the ball on the floor and creating for others.
