Cooper Zachary - Fishers HS

Cooper Zachary is a DOG! Watched him against Kokomo at the New Castle regional, Wayne in the Semi State, and Ben Davis at state. Incredible to see a frosh handle the pressure at that level and make virtually zero mistakes. Tenacious on D. 
 

Will be fun to see how good he becomes.

Isiah Hill of Pike will be one to watch develop under Jeff Teague.

Top-25 2027 prospect Jason Gardner Jr. tells me that he has scheduled a couple of unofficial visits for this month:

• DePaul - October 16th

• Indiana - October 18th

Gardner Jr. is a speedy guard, who’s extremely quick off the dribble. Has excellent court vision. Very

No idea of what kind of potential this kid truly has, but he's put up some impressive scoring performances this season.  Attends Prestonburg HS, Prestonburg, KY.    If you really want to dive into his season you can do so on a game-by-game basis at:

At this point it feels like the staff is just going through the motions and not really trying hard at HS recruiting. Get a visit so that it looks like they're doing something then radio silence. I'm not even going to bother remembering this kid's name.

Central Indiana sophomores to keep an eye on.

Saw it mentioned elsewhere that it was likely Jordy who got these 2 on campus but as for managing the recruiting side, no idea.  Since they're all likely out of a job, would seem to make some sense that they'd all be "auditioning" although we are still in the middle of our season and game prep should be the priority especially when we're no shoo-in to make the tournament.

MaxPreps Sophomore All-American Team.  Several names with IU offers although it's unknown if the new staff will pursue them.  Time will tell.

Watched Scottie Adkinson a few weeks back against Chaminade, 1 of the local prep powers. Dropped a 40 bomb on them and made it look easy. Kid can get wherever he wants off his bounce. In the 2nd half he decided he was just gonna take it to the rim and that was it. He got buckets or fouled every trip. It was quite a show.

He hasn't been offered, but IU is watching and keeping in touch with Cooper Zachary from Fishers.

I'm guessing this is probably a long game type situation where he'll go to a mid- or low-major school first then they'll be in a good position if he does well and decides to transfer. He is supposed to be pretty good but he's small, listed at 5'10", 150 lb. Maybe I'm wrong and a high-major like IU or PU will take a chance on him hoping he's the next Braden Smith.
