JALEN LECQUE (Combo Guard, Renaissance, Nike EYBL)

14.2 points per game

4.1 rebounds per game

3.4 assists per game

1 steal per game

Notable:

KIRA LEWIS (Combo Guard, Georgia Stars, Nike EYBL)

21.8 points per game

3.4 assists per game

3 rebounds per game

2.6 steals per game

Notable:

Lewis has really made a name for himself on the Nike circuit over the last two weeks. He flashes elite athleticism and has a tenacious edge to him, as reflected by his impressive steals per game average. He is 4th on the circuit in steals per game. Indiana offered Lewis last week, and at least one report indicated that he is planning a visit to Bloomington soon.

TRE MANN (Point Guard, E1T1 United, Nike EYBL)

17.8 points per game

4.1 rebounds per game

2.8 assists per game

2 steals per game

12.3 points per game

5.8 assists per game

4.2 rebounds per game

(stats according to adidasgauntlet.com)

Notable:

The news here is the Indiana offer, which was just announced on Monday night. Terry becomes one of several guards offered by IU, but he seems to be a more traditional “pass first” point guard than the others, and he could play along side someone like Kira Lewis or Tre Mann that score at a high rate.

19.1 points per game

8.4 rebounds per game

1.8 assists per game

.9 steals
