The AIS senior class invites are prospects that are being recruited at NAIA / D3 level, allowing them to showcase their skillset against the top talent in Indiana in front of those college coaches. After several commits leading up to the showcase the senior class consisted of thirteen uncommitted prospects that were playing in front of those coaches onsite and watching the streaming action. Following are few senior standouts from the event.

Kristin Bukata 2023 / CG / 5’7 / Valparaiso

We were not real familiar with Kristin until several views this spring and summer and was instantly a buyer. She has a high motor, deceptive athleticism, and a solid backcourt skill set that allows her to be a playmaker on both ends. She is on the attack and is extremely active defensively getting deflections and steals that turn into transition buckets. In the half court she can handle when needed and can create a variety of different scoring opportunities going to the bucket with her agility. A bit under the radar senior prospect that brings a lot of value with her combination of athleticism, skill and energy. Kristin was productive and consistently got buckets throughout the event.

Caitlyn Campbell 2023 / SF / 5’10 / Winchester

Caitlyn is another senior prospect that is a bit under the radar being from a 2A school in eastern Indiana and a multi-sport athlete that doesn’t play a full club schedule. She is long, athletic and possess a naturally smooth game from the wing. She is highly productive at the high school level, 1000-point scorer, and shows the ability to get buckets in a variety of ways. She can shoot it out to the three-point line but is at her best using her length and athleticism to create opportunities going to the bucket. She can defend multiple spots with her length and agility. She has a lot of versatility and upside and will be a nice get for somebody.

Bailey Parham 2023 / PF / 6’0 / Tri

Bailey was out this spring and summer and this was her first event back. You would have not known it as she was as active and efficient as always. She plays with a good motor and physicality on both ends and you couldn’t see any loss of mobility or tentativeness coming off her injury. She has a big strong post frame, has continually improved as a finisher and has always gone hard to the boards. She has a history of producing and being a workhorse around the bucket. It was nice to see her back on the floor competing at a high level, which I’m sure was a big confidence boost for her as well.

Payton Seay 2023 / CG / 5’6 / University

Payton has a strong frame and can play a physical skilled game. She shows the ability to get buckets in a variety of ways and shows her strength and aggressiveness on her attacks. She can defend multiple spots with her strength and athleticism. She shows an overall versatile game with the ability to physically compete against frontlines at the bucket and has the guard skillset to handle the ball and get buckets from the perimeter as well. Payton had a solid and consistent showing throughout the event.

Kaitlyn Shoemaker 2023 / PG / 5’5 / Noblesville

Kaitlyn was big part of Noblesville 4A State Championship squad a year ago, 9 PPG , and will be an even bigger part of the repeat quest. Its easy to get lost on team that feature multi division one prospects but Kaitlyn plays her role efficiently within that setting and has shown on the club circuit and in showcase events she can go get buckets with the best of them. From the point she shows good instincts for the game, makes good decisions with the ball and has nice balance between facilitating and getting to her scoring opportunities. She plays with good energy and competes on both ends and leads from the point. Kaitlyn was named to the All-Showcase team with her consistent balanced play throughout the day.
