Other potential targets playing in the upcoming tournament consist of 2026 5-star guard Dylan Mingo and 2026 5-star forward Tyran Stokes.
Mingo is the top rated recruit from New York in the 2026 class with offers from Dayton, Florida State, Oklahoma State, St. John's and others.
Stokes is a Louisville product that transferred to Prolific Prep in California and is now the highest rated prospect in the 2026 class via 247 Sports.
Wes Miller's coaching staff will certainly keep an eye on multiple talented prospects as the annual event comes to Indiana for the first time ever!
