Indiana’s Class of 2012 is one of the historically great classes in the states history. There are around 40 Division I commitments already, and a few more that will be made eventually. For the readers information, the Indiana Recruiting Guide only ranks players who play basketball in the state of Indiana. So, guys like Mitch McGary are not ranked by us. However, prep schools within the boarders (La Lumiere, Trader’s Point, etc) are included.
Even though this class already has so many guys off the board, there are still some very nice prospects for programs at any level in the college game.
This is the Final Class of 2012 Ranking.

Interest: Ball State, Indiana State, Miami (Ohio), Missouri State, Toledo, Wright State
Bola is playing his first year of basketball in Indiana, but it has not taken him too long to adjust. He is a great athlete for his size and very strong. He really attacks the glass and is an outstanding rebounder on both ends of the court, very quick jumper. On the offensive end, he finishes well around the rim and can catch the ball in the high post and take it to the basket. Still a little raw, gets in foul trouble because he leaves his feet too often, and on offense he may get out of control sometimes. He is still under the radar, a real steal for a low-major school.

Wehner is a very good perimeter spot up shooter. He really rose his stock for college with back-to-back 26 point performances at the Hall of Fame Classic in New Castle against Hamilton Southeastern and Kokomo. Playing alongside Kellen Dunham gives him plenty of open shots, but he has done a great job of knocking them down all season.
