Indiana June Ball Week 2 spotlights emerging prospects, new faces
Source: x.com

Quentin Glisson changed the conversation in Week 2 of June Ball. The 5-foot-10 Evansville Memorial guard, a 2030 prospect who plays for D1 Indiana, was one of the most eye-catching new faces in the gym because he did not need a huge scoring night to matter. He played fast, stayed aggressive and showed enough patience on offense to affect possessions even when he was not hunting shots.

That is exactly the kind of player June Ball is supposed to uncover. Coaches are using this stretch to figure out what their rosters will look like next season, and in a summer when some programs are replacing graduating seniors while others are trying to extend a successful core, the margin for error is thin. The players who matter most right now are the ones who can round out a rotation, defend a position and give a staff something it did not already have.

Glisson fit that description and then some. Prep Hoops’ evaluation said he was one of two 2030 prospects to get run with the Evansville Memorial Tigers on Thursday, and the scout was blunt about the upside: Glisson is extremely quick, can really get going from three and has already shown the kind of scoring talent that stands out on the travel-ball circuit. That profile matters because it suggests Evansville Memorial is not just looking at him as a future piece. It is already getting a live look at a guard who could force his way into meaningful varsity minutes sooner than expected.

Khamarion Johnson, the Evansville Bosse class of 2028 guard, also stood out among the new names. So did Trey VanWinkle of Evansville Reitz, class of 2029; Gavin Wright of Princeton, class of 2027; Hudson Neidigh of Barr-Reeve, class of 2030; and Gaige Lubbehusen of Tecumseh, class of 2027. Those are not throwaway names in Indiana basketball circles. Evansville Memorial, Evansville Reitz, Princeton, Tecumseh and Barr-Reeve are all part of the IHSAA landscape, and several of those programs carry real postseason weight.

Barr-Reeve’s 50-37 win over Triton for the 2025 Class 1A state championship is a reminder of how quickly a smaller-school prospect can move from anonymous to essential. Princeton’s 2009 Class 3A title tells the same story from a different scale. June Ball Week 2 was about spotting the next players who might do that kind of changing for their own programs, and Glisson was at the front of that line.
