The annual Nike EYBL Peach Jam officially wrapped up this past week and featured many Indiana basketball targets at all age groups. The Indiana basketball staff, including head coach Mike Woodson, was out in full force over the weekend to watch the multiple targets that were participating.
Notable Indiana basketball targets in action last week on the EYBL circuit included Liam McNeeley, Jaeden Mustaf, Boogie Fland, Patrick Ngongba, Austin Swartz, Trey McKinney, Darius Acuff, Jalen Haralson, Trent Sisley, Meleek Thomas and much more.
While there were many Indiana basketball targets in action, nine of them were able to break away from the pack and make Peach Jam All-Circuit teams.
Below is the full list of the Indiana targets and the Peach Jam All-Circuit team they made.
First Team
Dylan Harper: (6-foot-4; Combo Guard)
Team: New York Lightening 17U
Year: 2024
Points: 21.2
Rebounds: 5.7
Assists: 3.3
Scouting Notes: “Dylan Harper is a 6-foot-4 combo guard with a terrific blend of size, skill and feel for the game,” said 247Sports Basketball Analyst Travis Branham. “The southpaw doesn’t boast the most outstanding length or the most explosive athleticism but he is highly functional with his changes of speed, direction, his body control and his instincts on how to create separation and get to his spots. On the offensive end, Harper does a great job of balancing his scoring and his facilitating who takes what the defense gives him, playing the “right way” but will impose his will as a scorer when necessary. As a scorer, he can create space and make shots from mid-range and from three but his biggest strong suit is his ability to finish with touch and finesse at the rim. Aside from scoring and playmaking, Harper also impacts the game as a positional rebounder and a versatile defender. Given his consistent impact and production on both ends of the floor and factoring in his premier pedigree, Harper makes for arguably the best player in his class and a future first-round pick.”
Main Programs Involved: Indiana, Duke, Rutgers, Kansas, and Auburn
Second Team
Tyran Stokes: (6-foot-7: Power Forward)
Team: Vegas Elite 17U
Year: 2026
Points: 11.5
Rebounds: 5.3
Assists: 4.5
Scouting Notes: “The 6-foot-7 power forward may be the youngest player on this list (2026), but he has been one of the bigger stock risers this AAU season. He is an explosive, athletic player that is most dangerous when he is attacking. He makes a big impact on the boards and is one of the more efficient scoring bigs on Indiana basketball’s target list.”
Main Programs Involved: Indiana, Texas, LSU, Texas A&M, Alabama, Louisville, Xavier, and others
Third Team
Liam McNeeley: (6-foot-8; Small Forward)
Team: Florida Rebels 17U
Year: 2024
Points: 15.8
Rebounds: 6.4
Assists: 2.2
Scouting Notes: “McNeeley entered into this AAU season as arguably the top Indiana basketball target in the 2024 class. After spending last year playing for Drive Nation, then transferring to the prestigious Montverde Academy in Florida for his high school season, he will now play for the Florida Rebels 17U squad. What makes McNeeley so special of a player is that he is a true hybrid forward that has the ability to play both on and off the ball consistently. His motor and aggressiveness on both ends is at a high level and when he has the opportunity to attack the basket, he does it without hesitation being one of the better players in the 2024 class at getting to the line. The 6-foot-8 wing is great playmaker that creates so much offense around him, as well. He recently included in Indiana in his top 6.”
Main Programs Involved: Indiana, Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Michigan and Alabama
All-Underclass
Team: NH Lightening 17U
Year: 2025
Points: 14.4
Rebounds: 5.0
Assists: 3.2
Scouting Notes: “According to a lot of rankings, 6-3 shooting guard Meleek Thomas might be the highest rated player when it comes to the 2025 target list for Indiana basketball. Thomas is a long guard that gets to his spots so well on the floor while also being an extremely talented scorer. Both on and off the ball, he is a true playmaker whether that be for himself or for his teammates. He typically has played the role as the guy you go to when you need a bucket. He is easily at his best when he has the chance to make a play at the rim. He is the type of playmaking guard that would excel in Mike Woodson’s system.”
Main Programs Involved: Indiana, Xavier, Villanova, Pittsburgh, Kansas State, Michigan, and others
Team: The Family 17U
Year: 2025
Points: 15.6
Rebounds: 4.8
Assists: 2.0
Scouting Notes: “McKenney is a 6’5 shooting guard that is so physical and is not afraid to play through contact to get a chance to finish in the paint. While he is not the quickest player on the floor, he loves to use his strong, big frame to get past his defender and be such a load to handle once he is out in transition. He is real aggressive on the defensive end and is a very good on-ball defender. Jumper still needs some work as far as consistency, but as far as physicality, McKenney is one of the more advanced in this class. He has already been on Indiana’s campus so he will likely still be a high target for Mike Woodson and the Indiana basketball staff.”
Main Programs Involved: Indiana, Michigan, Michigan State, LSU, Miami (FL), Stanford, Oregon, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas State, Missouri, Alabama, and others
Darius Acuff: (6-foot-2; Point Guard)
Team: Team Takeover 17U
Year: 2025
Points: 15.2
Rebounds: 3.6
Assists: 5.2
Scouting Notes: “Acuff is a top-20 player in the class and has offers from elite programs such as Indiana, Kentucky, Kansas, Houston, and numerous other programs. Acuff is a tremendous scoring threat from any spot on the floor. He’s an aggressive driver whose game goes to an entirely different level when he’s hitting 3s, although he is inconsistent at times from behind the arc. Acuff has played at an extremely high level all summer”
Main Programs Involved: Indiana, Kentucky, Kansas, LSU, Houston, and others
(Tyran Stokes also made the All-Underclass Team)
Honorable Mention
Boogie Fland: (6-foot-4; Point Guard)
Team: PSA Cardinals 17U
Year: 2024
Points: 11.5
Rebounds: 2.8
Assists: 2.5
Scouting Notes: “Because Fland can play both with and without the ball in his hands, going to a place where he can do both is ideal. Fland is a terrific scoring guard who has great explosiveness. Fland is always in attack mode and can score at all three levels on the floor. He is best with the ball in his hands and making plays for himself or teammates. Fland has a very good mid-range game and utilizes a lot of different moves in the paint to create separation and get his shot up. With good size as well, at 6-foot-4, he’s a long and rangy guard who is a very talented defender. He has the tools to be a lockdown on ball defender as well as talented off the ball defensive player. He recently finished his Indiana visit.”
Main Programs Involved: Indiana, Michigan, North Carolina, Kentucky, UConn, Alabama, St. John’s, Auburn, Miami and others.
Team: NY Renaissance 17u
Year: 2024
Points: 12.0
Rebounds: 5.0
Assists: 1.4
Scouting Notes: “Betsey comes into this AAU season as arguably the biggest stock-riser in the entire 2024 class. The reason in such the rise in a lot of the 2024 rankings is because of the improvements he has made both as a defender and ability to create his own shot. At his position, he has the elite combination of size and length which makes him a very hard player to defend especially once he finds his rhythm in a game. As Mike Woodson and Indiana look to improve at the wing each year, Betsey is a great option when recruiting that area. With a wide-open recruitment as of right now, expect Mike Woodson and Indiana basketball to be active here.”
Main Programs Involved: Indiana, Iowa, Duke, Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Rhode Island, Nebraska, Providence, UCONN, Seton Hall, Xavier, Notre Dame, Alabama, Michigan State, Memphis, LSU, St. John’s, and others
Team: Team Thad 17U
Year: 2024
Points: 13.6
Rebounds: 4.2
Assists: 1.4
Scouting Notes: “After playing the majority of the season on the Adidas 3SSB circuit, Passmore joined Team Thad a few weeks ago. He’s an absolute blur in transition and shows off tremendous athletic ability attacking the rim. He has such a strong frame and has good size at 6-foot-5. He’s so difficult to slow down when he gets a defender on his hip and turns the corner to the rim.”
Main Programs Involved: Indiana, Kansas, Auburn, Tennessee, NC State, Oregon, Houston, Virginia, Illinois, Miami (FL), and others
