Indiana class of 2028 rankings expand with 11 new prospects

The biggest move in Indiana’s class of 2028 was not at the top of the board; it was in the middle, where 11 newcomers forced their way into the conversation and pushed the ranked pool to 160 players. The core Top 75 remains the headline group, but the watch list expanded from 75 to 85 prospects, a clear sign the state’s next class is moving fast.

The most telling clue is positional: six wings are being added in the next update, and that is the profile that keeps winning ground. Size on the perimeter, enough handle to survive pressure, and the ability to defend multiple spots is what gets a 2028 prospect noticed before the calendar turns to July. In a class still being sorted, those are the traits that can move a player from the fringe into the real Top 75 conversation.

The names attached to that push matter. Lorelei Lanie of Seeger, Carly Feldman of Indianapolis Roncalli, Isabella Knitter of Columbia City, Skylee Feathers of Bremen and Maleah Lengacher of North Daviess are among the prospects stepping onto the board. Knitter stands out immediately, with her name and image both drawing attention as one of the players the staff wants readers to notice. Feldman gives Roncalli another guard to track, while Feathers and Lengacher bring the kind of size-versatility package that fits the “inside and out” label.

That is why this update matters more than a routine refresh. The established early prospects now have company from players who have already done enough in spring and early June to earn a bigger look. Indiana’s rankings are still open enough that one strong live period can change the order, and these newcomers are starting to look less like depth pieces and more like the next wave of names that could reshape the pecking order.
