Tre Coleman

No matter where he has coached, Steve Alford has made it a priority to recruit his native state of Indiana. Now at Nevada, that isn't changing, as Alford has dipped into the Hoosier State and nabbed one of the most athletic and versatile prospects in forward Tre Coleman.

"Tre is committing to Nevada," Indiana Elite Head Coach Mike Fox informed 247Sports.

At 6-foot-5 and 190 pounds, Coleman is someone who can play a variety of roles on the basketball court. He is at his best as a defensive minded athletic wing who likes to slash to the rim off the dribble on the offensive end, but he also has the ability to play as a small ball power forward when the opportunity arises.

For Coleman, his development has continued throughout his high school career. After only scoring around the rim as an underclassman, Coleman now is able to step out and hit the occasional three point jumper, and also has greatly improved with his basketball IQ and passing.

"Tre has gotten better every year," said Fox. "I think Nevada is getting a tremendous player who can impact the game in a lot of different ways. He is a very athletic player and someone whose best basketball is ahead of him."

Coleman will need to keep improving his jumper, and continue to bring a high-motor approach to the game every time he steps on the court going forward. That said, his athleticism and length should give a lot of versatility to Nevada on both ends of the court, and he has a chance to shine in the Mountain West Conference.

Coleman is viewed as a three-star prospect and the No. 10 prospect in the state of Indiana.
