An embarrassment of riches for Matt Painter & ⁦@BoilerBall⁩. Four years of Braden Smith & likely four more years of ⁦@ErtelLuke⁩. A classic Indiana HS PG. ⁦@Dame_Lillard⁩ #TheFormula

‼️ CONGRATS to Indiana Elite 2026 ‼️ 🏆 Adidas @3SSBCircuit Earn Your Stripes CHAMPIONS in Ladera Beach, CA! Fresh off a 3rd-place finish at the Adidas National Championships in Rock Hill, SC — falling only to the eventual champs in a battle. One of the top teams in the country, week in and week out! 🔥💪 #IEFAMILY

Indiana Elite 2026 advances to @3SSBCircuit Earn Your Stripes Invite with a 79-67 win over DreamVision! 🔥 Anthony Thompson: 22pts, 6reb 🔥 Luke Ertel: 26pts, 6reb, 5ast 🔥 Kai McGrew: 14pts, 7reb

Anthony Thompson's teammate with @IndianaEliteIE, Luke Ertel, was also terrific this past week. The Indiana native has been battling an ankle injury, but did everything: Ran the team, got into the paint and make quality decisions when to score and when to distribute the ball. @ErtelLuke, Purdue commit, will be a perfect fit for Matt Painter and the Boilermakers. He's got the toughness, high IQ, impacts winning and he gets after it defensively.
