Indiana's Best Seniors Converge at HBM Top 60 Workout at Marian

Three days before Indiana's most closely watched senior evaluation tips off, the region's basketball community has its eye on three prospects who will test their games against the state's best at the Hoosier Basketball Magazine Top 60 Senior Workout. The event, set for Sunday, April 12, at Marian University's campus at 3200 Cold Spring Road in Indianapolis, draws college coaches, pro scouts, and a standing-room crowd to watch 60 seniors, chosen from roughly 1,500 statewide, compete in two sessions organized by HBM in partnership with the IHSAA and Indiana Basketball Coaches Association. Northridge's Brady Scholl, Crown Point's Dikembe Shaw, and Kokomo's Korbyn Hammel headline the area's contingent and each arrives with a distinct set of things to prove.

Scholl enters Saturday as perhaps the most decorated player in the field. The 6-foot-7 senior averaged 24.6 points, 11.6 rebounds, and 3.0 blocked shots per game while shooting 59 percent from the field for a Northridge team that finished 26-2. He is an Indiana Wesleyan commit and one of five finalists for the 2026 Indiana Mr. Basketball award. His defining moment of the season came in Kokomo's holiday tournament, where he scored 40 points in a win over Merrillville to surpass 1,000 career points and set a tournament record. Northridge's run ended at the Class 4A semi-state, where Crown Point ended their season in Elkhart. At Marian, Scholl's ability to defend multiple positions and initiate offense off live-ball rebounds will be on display against backcourt and frontcourt players who can push the pace in ways most conference opponents could not.

Shaw arrives as the workout's most heavily recruited name on paper. The 6-foot-7 power forward, committed to Illinois-Chicago since August, averaged 17.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.3 assists while shooting 54.2 percent from the field and 80.2 percent from the free-throw line for a Crown Point squad that reached the Class 4A state championship game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Named the Northwest Indiana Times' 2026 Player of the Year and a Mr. Basketball finalist alongside Scholl, Shaw has the size and motor to guard wings and post players in the same possession, the kind of defensive switching capacity that college staffs will be evaluating closely. His ability to create in the mid-range and make decisions in traffic at pace is what scouts in attendance will want to confirm matches what they saw on film all winter.

Hammel carries the highest recruiting stakes of the three. The 6-foot-3 Kokomo combo guard, who averaged 18.6 points per game and finishes his prep career as the program's seventh all-time scorer, left his senior season without a signed commitment, giving the Marian workout real urgency. Kokomo's Athletics department referenced him as an Indiana All-Stars candidate after he helped the Wildkats claim two Phil Cox trophies, a North Central Conference title, and a sectional championship across his career. For Hammel, Sunday's workout is the clearest path remaining to generate mid-major offers before the late signing period closes, making communication on defense and shot-selection in a stacked lineup the two variables coaches will track most carefully.

The session structure itself amplifies the stakes. Northern and Southern Indiana players compete in the first session from 12:45 to 2:45 p.m., with Central Indiana players taking the floor from 3:15 to 5:15 p.m. Coaches who attend will see all three local prospects in accelerated, decision-heavy situations that 30-game high school schedules rarely replicate: rapid offensive sets, defensive rotations against unfamiliar personnel, and physical play without the benefit of film study on opponents. Fans and families planning to attend should note that the event has historically drawn a capacity crowd of college coaches and evaluators, and organizers have urged early arrival. What to watch for across both sessions: how Scholl handles defensive assignments against quicker guards on switches, whether Shaw's playmaking in transition translates to read-and-react situations with new teammates, and how efficiently Hammel scores when he is not the primary ball-handler. Each answer will carry weight well beyond the final whistle on Sunday afternoon.
