This weekend I was back in Louisville, but instead of focusing on a specific age group, I attempted to catch up with some Indiana teams I had yet to see this Spring, or those I just wanted to get eyes on one more time before everyone breaks for a June filled with team camps, elite camps, showcases, and all-star games. Below is a look at seven additional individuals who caught my eye for one reason or another on Saturday at Ohio Basketball’s “The Classic”.
Autumn Taylor

Laurel | 2023
OH
, 2023, 5-6 CG, Laurel H.S. (OH)
– Autumn was really good in the game I was able to see over the weekend. She has an athletic frame, good length, and solid strength at her size. She’s also quick, fast, and shifty, and she does a nice job of creating space for herself. What she did well Saturday evening was bury shots, contested shots at that, and with range well-beyond the 3-point line. Her shot looks pure and smooth, and she appeared to be a threat anywhere on the offensive side of mid-court. She also showed a nice motor.

Bedford North Lawrence | 2024
State
IN
, 2024, 5-9 CG, Bedford North Lawrence H.S.
– Chloe has steadily remained our top prospect in Indiana’s 2024 class, so obviously she is skilled and talented. What I noticed this weekend out of her was an improved ability to finish in traffic. Not only was she more aggressive to the rim, but it was the skillful manner in which she was finishing. Instead of just runners and pull-ups, she also used the jump-stop well, then showed some “dead-pivot” moves and got defenders off-balance before finishing around them. It’s just another weapon in her arsenal.
Addison Bowsman, 2025, 5-5 PG, Twin Lakes H.S.
– Addison is a really nice ballplayer and one of the top point guard prospects in Indiana’s 2025 class. She will need to add some strength, but she’s incredibly long at her height, she has great quickness/shiftiness and is difficult to trap, plus she keeps the ball tight to her frame and doesn’t allow defenders a chance at it. She has nice vision and a really good sense of who’s around her, but she can also knock down shots consistently from all over the floor. She has put together a strong Spring season.
Nola Ravellette, 2025, 5-8 SF, Gibson Southern H.S.
– Nola is an intriguing wing prospect who could work her way into an opportunity at Gibson Southern next season. She has a solid to strong frame, a little length, but she’s deceptively athletic and gets out and runs the floor well. She has solid touch to the perimeter and can become a dangerous 3-point threat with a little more work, but she’s also strong enough to finish through contact around the basket and draw the occasional and-one opportunity. This next year could be huge for her growth.
Adalyn Gish, 2026, 5-5 CG, Henderson County H.S. (KY)
– Saturday was my first time seeing Adalyn play, and she definitely has some potential. She has a wiry-strong frame, good length, and she’s a nice all-around athlete. She was consistently attacking the basket, whether off the dribble or by use of the basket-cut, plus she was finishing through contact and getting to the line. She was active defensively and on the glass, plus she showed the ability to handle the ball and run or create offense. She’ll mix in well at HCHS, because she has nice upside.
Kendall McLaughlin, 2026, 5-7 SG, Homestead H.S.
– Kendall is a combination of strength and finesse. She has a strong frame for her age, broad shoulders, and some length. She’s a solid all-around athlete, she plays with a nice motor, and she shows a great deal of toughness and physicality. At the same time, she has a soft touch from the perimeter that resembles her sister…2017 Miss Basketball Karissa McLaughlin…and she has a solid handle and the vision to find open teammates. My guess is she will put up her share of points for the Spartans.
Blair Satterfield, 2026, 5-7 PG, Hamilton Southeastern H.S.
– There are a lot of good guards from this 2026 class coming to Indiana high schools next year, but Blair has about as good of a natural feel for the game as any of them. She has sort of an old school point guard approach. She plays with nice pace, her head is always up scanning the floor, and she does a nice job of taking what the defense gives her without hesitation. Despite needing to add some strength, she takes on contact well and is very physical in her frame. She is just a highly skillful ballplayer.
