HUGE boards ($): Purdue 2017 targets | Purdue 2018 targets

This weekend, the Indianapolis area will be swarmed with college basketball coaches, as several major grassroots events take place during the NCAA's second and final springtime evaluation weekends.

Between Westfield and Fishers, Indy's north side will play host to Nike's second Elite Youth Basketball League session at Jonathan Byrd Fieldhouse and its Midwest Explosion counterpart for underclassmen and other teams.

Also in Westfield will be the Terrific 24 with a solid field.

In Fishers, Under Armour's second Under Armour Association session takes places at the Best Choice Fieldhouse.

GoldandBlack.com will have thorough coverage throughout the weekend and afterward.
