Player Profile: 2013 Collin Hartman

Name: Collin Hartman
Graduation Year: 2013, Rising Sophomore
Height & Weight: 6'6 200
High School/AAU: Cathedral/ Indiana Elite 15U
Position: Small Forward who could play some Power Forward.
2009-2010 Season Stats: 15 Points & 9 Rebounds
Schools Considering: Offers from Purdue, Indiana, and Notre Dame
Timetable for Decision: No timetable has been set for Hartman's decision. He's just finishing his freshman year, and I would expect him to compile more offers and be recruited by other schools.

Scouting Report:
A legitimate 6'6 as a freshman, Hartman has a mature skill set for his age. Hartman has the ball-handling and shooting touch to play the point forward role, sometimes bringing the ball up the court for his team. His 3-point shot is inconsistent, but his mid-range game is very good. Hartman defends the post in most AAU games, and can block shots and rebound on the defensive end. His above average athleticism helps him in those areas. Although his natural position is on the wing, Hartman shows a nice bit of versatility, leaving open the possibility of playing a combo forward role.

IndyBall.com Shootout 16 & 15U Saturday Recap

Here's a rundown of the performances by some of the freshmen and sophomores in this event. All these players were from Indiana Elite as well. I'm hoping to get a good look at the Eric Gordon teams tomorrow .

Indiana Elite 16U:

2012 Guard Ron Patterson- Patterson had a typical impressive performance today, showing off his strength and athleticism in both games. The sophomore guard used the bounce to get to the rim, as he scored after contact and got to the foul line. Patterson rebounded the ball very well from the guard position, recording double digit boards in his first game. The 6'3 guard also used his athleticism to finish a put back dunk off a teammates' miss. Patterson had a pretty good day from behind the arc, shooting 3-7 today. Patterson's length and athleticism allow him to block shots, recording several rejections today. Overall Patterson played well, and as he continues to work on his ball-handling and shooting he will improve as a player.

2012 Guard Kellen Dunham- Dunham, a 6'4 guard, didn't receive the early recruiting interest some of his counterparts did, but is proving he is equally talented thus far. Dunham showcased the total offensive package, taking opponents off the dribble and knocking down mid-range and 3-point jumpers. Dunham finished well at the rim, converting several layups and shots after contact. He also showed a nice feel for the glass, using it on mid-range jumpers and drives to the basket. He displayed the ability to play adequate defense, not giving his man any easy paths to the basket. Dunham could be the Indiana player to boost his stock this AAU season.

2013 Forward Collin Hartman- I was only able to watch Hartman play once, but he impressed in this game. A legitimate 6'6 as a freshman, Hartman has an advanced skill set for his age. In one sequence Hartman blocked a shot, grabbed the loose ball, pushed it down court, and then buried a mid-range jumper at the elbow. Hartman struggled from behind the arc, but showed an impressive mid-range game, knocking down several jumpers. Defensively, Hartman was impressive blocking 6 shots and forcing a few steals. Hartman was also impressive on the boards, pulling down several offensive rebounds to create extra possessions for his team. All in all Hartman did not look the part of a 15 year old on the court, and will be a player to watch not only this summer, but for the next 3 years.
