Junior year stats: 32 ppg, 6 rpg, 3 apg, 3 spg, 55% from the field, 36% from three-point range
Monty's Take:
"Eugene is cut in a similar mold to Travon Baker, He is an athletic, jet-quick point guard who is a big-time scorer, having led the State of Indiana in scoring last season. What we also like about Eugene is his ability to run a team from the point guard position.”

Monty's Take:
“Noah is a skilled big that can play both on the block and step out to the three-point line, most of all, Noah is a competitor, a winner and a very high-character young man.”

Monty's Take:
"Nick is a very skilled guard with great range, he is one of the best shooters in the Midwest and has shown that he can make threes off the catch, on the move, and off the dribble. Being the son of a coach, Nick has a terrific work ethic and understanding of the game.”
