Indiana coaches scout top prospects at NBPA Top 100 Camp
Indiana brought four coaches to Rock Hill and kept Chase Branham at the center of its NBPA Top 100 look, with six more recruiting names in the mix.
Indiana’s next recruiting push ran through Rock Hill, where four IU coaches spent the NBPA Top 100 Camp watching the prospects most likely to shape the Hoosiers’ next classes. Chase Branham, Indiana’s 2027 commitment, was the headliner in the room, with Lewis Uvwo, Yann Kamagate, King Gibson, Gabe Nesmith and Chase Lumpkin also drawing serious attention from the staff.
The evaluation window mattered. The camp opened June 8 and ran through June 11, but college coaches were not allowed into the action until June 10 and June 11, after the drills and team practices that started earlier in the week. That meant Darian DeVries, Kenny Johnson, Rod Clark and Thomas Carr were there for the live games, the part of the week that usually changes the conversation when rankings are updated and recruiting boards get reset.
For Indiana, Branham is the cleanest name on the board because he is already committed to the Hoosiers. That makes every look at the 2027 guard even more valuable: staff can check whether the production matches the projection and whether the fit still looks right against elite national competition. But the rest of the group is what tells the bigger story. Uvwo, Kamagate, Gibson, Nesmith and Lumpkin represent the kind of upside Indiana cannot afford to miss if it wants to keep building around athletic, high-ceiling talent rather than scraping the portal for short-term fixes.
The NBPA made this year’s camp feel like more than a simple July-style showcase. It was the camp’s 32nd year, and the guest-coach list included Rajon Rondo, Phil Handy and Tom Crean, a reminder that the event is built to blend player development with high-level instruction. The NBPA also said the coaching program includes a staff of 12 former NBA and college coaches and covers travel and lodging for participants, which helps explain why the talent level keeps stacking up.
Indiana’s repeated presence says plenty about where the program thinks the work starts. The Hoosiers were in Orlando for the camp in 2024, back again in 2025, and now back on the road in Rock Hill with the same message: if you want to know where the next roster-shaping talent is headed, watch who Indiana is standing next to at NBPA Top 100. The camp has become one of the clearest places to measure who is rising before the rankings do.
