Contracts are signed and times are finalized. Officially on the books and ready to go come December 21st, 2024. Can’t wait for next basketball season.

SCOOBY IS BACK! Former Benton Harbor Mr. Basketball award winner Carlos Scooby Johnson Jr. has enrolled at Henry Ford Community College in Dearborn, MI. Johnson is a former 4 ⭐️ recruit and signed to play at Butler. Charged with rape in 2021, found not guilty in April.
BREAKING: Penn senior
@markussburton
has won Indiana Mr. Basketball. Burton is Penn’s first winner, and will bring home the award to Michiana for the first time since 1996, when Warsaw’s Kevin Ault won it. The Notre Dame signee led the state in scoring (30.2 PPG)
Penn (2023) 3 ⭐️ standout
@markussburton
has committed to the University of Notre Dame. In 27 games last season, Burton averaged 27.2 points, 5.6 assists, 6.3 rebounds and 3.6 steals per game. He led the Kingsmen to a 24-3 season
I can’t believe people are actually angry about SB Washington winning by 58 tonight. These girls have been working towards this all year. The seniors deserved it and you play hard till the games over. Lets not forget Washington lost to Silver Creek last year in the state title.
JR, Blake, and soon to most likely be Irish Markus Burton all over the past two years.
The 574 needs to be known for producing some D1 boys hoopers. 🫡
IndyStar, some love 🥹
Had the honor of meeting Dwayne Haskins at a Benton Harbor Basketball game last year. One of the nicest dudes I’ve ever met. I’m stunned this morning. Rest Easy. 🙏
Love to see the fact
@markussburton
gained a Notre Dame offer today. Looks like Michiana is going to have yet another big time division one hoops player. Poised for a run at Mr. Basketball next year. Kid bet on himself and it’s paying off. Dynamic scorer.
Spent the night chatting with
@blakewesley0
while taking in Marian/John Glenn. Always really cool getting to hear the insight on what it’s like to play at that level. Really cool dude ‼️
Big news coming in the coming days/weeks about a michianahoops shootout next year. We have a school confirmed to host and a date to be finalized soon. One day event, 5 northern Indiana teams Vs 5 Southwest Michigan teams (1/2).
@BankHoops
@ZT17Hoops
Just wanted to tweet out and say thank you to
@JohnRHarrell
for all his hard work and how much we all appreciate him. Makes getting info on things last minute so so easy. Really the best. Especially during tournament time!
Just counted. I’ve been to 56 high school basketball games across michiana this year. Plenty of tournaments with a few days a game but that’s a big number. 57 tomorrow with Michigan City - Mishawaka @ LaPorte for a sectional title.
You know it’s Hoosier hysteria when you’re driving 45 minutes for tonight’s Mishawaka Marian - John Glenn sectional title.
Even more so when you need to show up an hour before tipoff for good seats. Wouldn’t want it any other way. 🗣
Heading to the Great Western Forum today for

SB Washington Vs
#3
(Illinois) Bolingbrook. First time seeing Washington girls basketball game in person! Can’t wait.

Sad to report former

Our deepest condolences and prayers go out to Jason, Brandee and Jayden.
Eternal rest, Grant unto him, O Lord and may God comfort those of us who mourn
Final: South Bend Riley 60, Jeffersonville 58.
WHAT A FINISH! Jeffersonville’s Trey Singleton gets the Red Devils the lead but Riley’s Payton Baird hit a half court shot at the buzzer for the win!

White Pigeon Varsity Basketball and football coach Steve Dimos, passed away Friday morning after White Pigeon Capped it’s season off with a win. Coach Dimos had been battling cancer for 3 years, while doing what he loved. ❤️
First annual JCB Elite prep showcase girls game. Had a lot of northern indiana girls who couldn’t play but both rosters are very good. 17 future college basketball players between the two teams.
Date confirmed next year for the michianahoops shootout. Saturday 12/21 @ Portage Central high school. A great venue to host in what will be a fun event.

searching for teams with that date available and those that would be interested. SW Michigan, Northern IN. DM’s are open.
11 years ago today, Fennville’s Wes Leonard passed away after hitting a game winning shot to cap a undefeated regular season. Gone but never forgotten. ❤️
The Washington-Riley boys basketball game had to be stopped at halftime because of a brawl in the stands.
I saw some footage out there. I pray no one was injured. I'm sorry to see this & a shame that those in the stands ruined things for everyone else & put others in danger.
Rosters for the second annual JCB Elite Prep showcase game. Team Indiana and team Michigan will battle it out April 28th. Location was at SB Career Academy last year - this year we are trying for a bigger venue.
@BsharpeTraining
@markussburton
currently sits at 1,765 points. He needs to average 23.1 points through his last 10 regular season games to break Jr. Konieczny 1,996 for the St. Joseph county scoring record. If Burton doesn’t do it during the regular season he will get it during the postseason.
Don’t post a ton on Twitter (Instagram is my thing) but here are my Indiana preseason rankings. Others receiving possibility - Elkhart, Concord, Riley, Adams, MQTT Catholic.
Here’s a huge list of all the womens basketball players on a college roster. This was extremely difficult to put together. Feel free to comment anyone missing.
Thinking about it from the Penn side. Having to play Jordan Woods and Hammond and then most likely Flory and Kokomo in one day is an exhausting thought to get to Gainbridge.
1: Ben Davis is beatable.
2: The problem is the fact Ben Davis’s bench runs deeper than most. And they are all good ball players.
3: going to need to put two good half’s together against this Ben Davis squad.
Penn and NorthWood led at half and wore out.
I don’t cover Central Noble but i am really surprised at what Providence is doing to them. Really locked in on Connor Essegian. Getting the shots they want all night long.
Hartford senior and Goshen commit
@Kaden_Johnson24
dropped 35 points and 24 rebounds on Mendon last night. The Indians big man is averaging 24 points and 16 rebounds through 19 games.
We are pushing this from 5 games to a 6 game format. We have a ton of teams interested so far. Continue to reach out if interested! ‼️

2026 prospect Steven Reynolds will be taking an unofficial visit to Michigan State on September 1st, he tells me.
Will also be taking unofficial visits to Duke, North Carolina, NC State, and Wake Forest, due to the CP3 Camp.
Per John Harrell’s tournament chances, Mishawaka Marian is given a 76.24% to win sectionals, 57.12% chance to win Regionals, 39.50% Semi-state, and a 27.74% chance to win state. Some of the best odds in the state.
Richmond might knock Notre Dame out of the tournament with that win…. Giving me vibes from when Davidson did it years ago…. Anyone else?
Just hoping Blake gets his shot.
Tomorrow evening the
