Class of '66 Old Fart

Here's the stats for the players who've received offers from DDV from this past weekend's EYBL event in Kansas City. Most have 11 games of cumulative stats you can review. The next major events for the EYBL, 3SSB and UAA circuits won't take place until July. There will be lots of other AAU action in the interim but player stats from those events will be on a hit and miss basis.

From 247, it's apparently the plan that Jackson will be his high school team's PG next season. At 6'7" it will be interesting to see how that works out for both the school and for Jackson's development.

Raby and Andershock did a video podcast last night after Fri. and Sat. games were over. They mentioned a number of IU targets they've talked to said they are hearing not just from the @$$'t coaches but from DDV himself. He keeps that kind of attitude towards recruiting and his golf handicap will skyrocket! (dws at our former coach)

Anybody going? If so, we'll look forward to your firsthand accounts.

Ashley MacCalla, Micah Ojo, Ella Peper all with IU offers. https://www.usab.com/news/2025/05/2025-usa-womens-u16-national-team-finalists-announced

Micah Ojo and Finley Parker both hold IU offers. Ivanna Wilson-Manyacka is on the radar.

EYBL has another event schedule this weekend in Kansas City but it is in NCAA designated Dead Period when no direct on or off-campus contact and no official or unofficial visits are permitted by coaching staffs. But fear not. Our very own @Demo has tentatively planned to attend and will provide us with copious and painstakingly detailed notes on each and every player holding an IU offer.

The season certainly didn't meet expectations but at least it ended on a positive note for the players with a 5-0 win over Iowa. Devin Taylor likely finished his outstanding career getting 3 of our 7 hits and responsible for 4 of our runs that included a 3-run HR. Gilley started and went 6 innings allowing just 4 hits and walking 2. Grable finished the night allowing just 1 more hit.

'26 Team Takeover Jordan Smith has the highest plus/minus of anyone on the EYBL circuit so far this summer

Cited as standouts at last weekend's 3SSB event. Anthony Thompson | 6-8 Forward | 2026 | Indiana Elite 17U Thompson’s natural tools and long-term upside are at times jaw-dropping, as he remains one of the circuit’s most promising prospects. The smooth lefty boasts positional size, length and the type of mobility that makes everything look effortless. He showcased his soft shooting touch from deep in Council Bluffs, pulling up comfortably from beyond the arc and knocking down shots with ease. Thompson also flashed his ability to create off the bounce, using his length and body control to finish through traffic. Though he sat out the final games due to injury, his blend of physical traits, skill level, and age for his class gives him one of the highest ceilings of any prospect in the field. Coaches will be keeping a close eye on his continued development. Cameron Williams | 6-11 Forward | 2026 | Compton Magic 17U Williams made a strong impression in Session 2, displaying his two-way potential with multiple standout showings on both ends of the floor. The long, fluid forward continues to trend up, combining pro-level physical tools with growing confidence and feel. He’s averaging 17.4 PPG and 6.0 RPG and has been a defensive force—racking up 2.8 BPG and 2.0 SPG. His shot-blocking instincts, timing, and ability to cover ground made him a major deterrent around the rim, while his quick hands and lateral agility allowed him to defend multiple positions and jump passing lanes. Offensively, Williams is highly efficient, currently shooting 62.9% (97 attempts) from the field and 46.2% from 3 (26 attempts), stretching the floor and capitalizing on his length and touch around the basket. Throughout the weekend, Williams was assertive, active on the glass, and consistently made winning plays. With his defensive versatility and offensive efficiency, he’s quickly emerging as one of the most complete front court threats in the country. Cooper Zachary | 5-10 Guard | 2027 | Indiana Elite 16U Zachary is objectively one of the most impactful guards on the 16U circuit and a huge reason Indiana Elite is off to a 6–2 start through two sessions. He’s a knockdown shooter with deep range and a lightning-quick release—connecting on an eye-popping 58.3% from 3 (60 attempts) while averaging 19.3 PPG on 59.3% shooting overall. Beyond his elite shotmaking, Zachary plays with a fearless edge and mature poise, balancing his scoring with 3.1 APG and unselfish decision-making. He thrives in a fast-paced, run-and-gun system, constantly moving off the ball and creating chaos for opposing defenses. Defensively, he’s alert and instinctive, averaging 1.8 SPG by reading plays early and jumping passing lanes. Alongside Jason Gardner, Jr., he forms one of the most electric backcourts on the 3SSB circuit.
