In addition to Indiana State, Rick Majerus at St. Louis has also offered Patrick.


On top of that Hollowell played within in the system of his team's offense, and made his teammates better. The main two that put on a show with Hollowell were Ronnie Johnson and Patrick Ingram.

Both Johnson and Ingram are running mates for North Central, and they each can do a little something different. Ingram is an athletic freak who also has the ability to catch and shot. Still what Ingram is known for is his above the rim finishing.

While offensive Ingram can be exciting, defensively is where he made the play of the game. With the ultra athletic Patterson going up for a layup in transition, Ingram tracked him down and met him above the rim for the block. The block in essence ended any hope Indiana Elite-ONE had of winning the game.

Johnson was the consummate point guard who did everything well. He has a lethal floater with his left hand on the baseline, and also finds teammates as well as anyone in transition. He is slight of stature, but his basketball IQ is off the charts.
From a recent Rivals article.

If Majerus is after him, this kid has to be an athlete. At only 6'2" though, wonder if he could play the point at the next level?

North Central's Patrick Ingram (2012) claims offers from Eastern Illinois, Indiana State, Ohio, Southern Illinois and Saint Louis.
Per the IndyStar... get on him Greg!

[IndyHoops]

Patrick had a couple nice games today. He didn't score a ton of points, but impressed me with a little bit of versatility. When I first watched him I just saw an athletic player who couldn't score much outside of dunks and layups. The more and more I watch him I see more consistency in his ability to knock down mid range jumpers. Does a good job of moving without the ball and cutting into the lane. He always plays solid defense, and has that high level of athleticism that allows him to block a few shots even at 6'2. He said he's not opposed to playing at a smaller school, and it sounds like he wants to go somewhere where he can play a lot.

North Central junior-to-be Patrick Ingram has picked up offers from Eastern Illinois, Indiana State, Ohio, Southern Illinois and Saint Louis since June 15, when coaches are allowed to call.

The 6-2 Ingram said Saint Louis "has been recruiting me the most."

"I like it a lot," he said. "The arena is really nice and the facility and the campus, I just loved it."

Ingram, who plays in the summer with the Eric Gordon All-Stars 16-and-under team, said he doesn't plan to decide until after his junior year.

"I want to see what July brings me and if I get any other schools looking at me," he said.

The kid knows what he wants, and he knows how to handle the recruiting process.

Patrick Ingram (http://georgiatech.rivals.com/viewprospect.asp?Sport=2&pr_key=113784): Ingram is an athletic spark for the Eric Gordon Central Stars. A physical two guard with big time bounce and a high motor, Ingram just knows how to hustle and makes plays all over the floor. He wasn't super productive in terms of points, but his defense and athleticism make him an interesting prospect as time goes on in the Hoosier State.Rivals.

[IndyHoops]

Patrick was huge today In Eric Gordon's early game. He had 22 points and showed me an aggressiveness I'm not used to seeing in him. He scored most of his points on layups and at the foul line, but the way he went about it was just impressive. He took guys off the dribble and just really took control of the game. His athleticism and strength helped him to fight through fouls and contact to finish at the rim.

North Central's Patrick Ingram (2012) plans unofficial visits to Ball State on Thursday and Saint Louis on Aug. 28.

ach calls him "Motor Man." Quick. Can get up. 6-1 so needs to handle it better. RT @JoelrlHall (http://twitter.com/JoelrlHall) how about a quick rundown of Ingram's game?

[Jason Svoboda]

North Central junior Patrick Ingram continues to stand by his proclamation that he'll be dunking this season like former Manual standout and Butler freshman Chrishawn Hopkins. The 6-1 1/2 guard said he will visit Ball State on Monday and will take trips to Saint Louis and Southern Illinois in the next two weeks. He picked up an offer from SIU last week.
The Sycamores need to get him over for a visit pronto.

Short highlight reel of Patrick and teammate Ronnie Johnson. Both have offers from Indiana State.

• Patrick Ingram, North Central: The 6-2 junior quietly had a nice all-round game, finishing with 12 points and four rebounds on 5-for-6 shooting. Ingram isn’t going to get a ton of shots with all the talent on the North Central roster, but he’s always been a high-energy guy who gets after it on defense.

[sycamorebacker]

The point is: (from Gant's thread) Have we REALLY offered Ingram and, if so, why?

[sycamorebacker]

I saw him again last night. He's starting to look a little better to me. Still not much feel for his perimeter skills. He's definitely quick and has hops. Offensively raw like Drew, but an athlete.

Pretty average player.

[Dgreenwell3]

Sounds like a serious prospect...I have never been big on those personally, I like guys who we can make stronger...

Thought i'd see some dunks in that highlight reel if he is a high flyer. Did not look like a standout athlete there just a pretty good high school athlete. He showed a variety of ways to score but most were in the paint off put backs and good passes. I dont see him getting those shots in college. Looked pretty good defensively but on offense he never dribbles with his left hand and not a lot of outside shots. Never seen him in person though just judging off the video. Has a pretty decent offer list.

I understand your reservations. I saw him at the AAU tournament last weekend and he is pretty quick and versatile. I think we might be able to get something better but he has potential as a small 2G.

[KAPat1865]

I saw him play at the Hinkle Regionals this year. Without Smith-Rivera he seemed to be the go to guy for North Central. I think he is a little undersized but he seems to be a pretty good player. I think he could work at ISU.

[SycamoreFan317]

Looks like the MVC has taken notice: Per Twitter

We would be stupid not to go after this guy...

He will be getting a lot of publicity next year though because he is one of the go-to guys on North Central since DSR left for Oak Hill.

Hopefully he is on Lansing & Co's Radar

[Quabachi]

Guessing that since it says (Offer) next to his name in the Recruiting Profile, he's on Lansing and Co's radar.

But I know what you mean, about hoping he's on their radar....I also hope we're recruiting him hard.

We can't take everybody. We just brought in 3 more guards or small forwards. Not sure about need. Depends on whether one or two of them are forwards.

Why not? Crean is.

[bigsportsfan]

He's OK. I hope we can find better.

[Bluesier]

He's OK. I hope we can find better.

I agree. I think we can find much better players and we may back off since Ronnie Johnson is signed?? Just feel like our program has elevated and Ingram is not one of the top players we could get. I also think we should be looking hard for another big in this class.

Sounds like he's got it right.

Camping at Loyola this weekend and then at Tennessee.

[Jason Svoboda]

Patrick had a big time Adidas Invitational. Many recruiting folks are pegging him BCS material. Had several 25+ point games.

[Jason Svoboda]

Ingram currently claims scholarship offers from Ball State, Indiana State, Loyola (Ill.), Northern Illinois, Ohio, St. Louis, Southern Illinois and Southern Illinois-Edwardsville. But his play this month attracted interest from Iowa, Tennessee, Missouri State and Wichita State.

[Jason Svoboda]

Offered by Iowa today.

Offered by Iowa today.

Is it just me or does that seem like a stretch? I guess we can expect a big senior year for him.

[Jason Svoboda]

Patrick Ingram, North Central (2012): The 6-foot-2 guard is still waiting see if any other offers come out from the July period, but of the schools that have offered he said Iowa, Loyola (Ill.) and Saint Louis are his favorites. Tennessee has shown some interest.

Visiting St. Louis again this weekend.

[Jason Svoboda]

4. Patrick Ingram: 6'2'' Shooting Guard, North Central H.S.
Ingram has seen his recruitment pick up after a very solid summer circuit. He picked up an offer from Iowa and was just recently offered by Georgia State. His teammate from the Eric Gordon Central Stars, Nick Osborne, just committed to Loyola, so one could assume that they are in the mix (they have offered him). He also just got back from a visit to St. Louis and they are considered a front-runner for the strong guard. Southern Illinois and Ball State have also offered.

Will be announcing tomorrow at 4pm. His final 3 at Loyola, Iowa and Saint Louis.

[Jason Svoboda]

Committed to Iowa.

[True Blue]

Am I the only one not upset about this? I was unimpressed when I seen him.

[Dgreenwell3]

His final 3 at Loyola, Iowa and Saint Louis.
Am I the only one who finds that to be an odd three-some?

[Bluesier]

Committed to Iowa.

Good! lol.

[sycamorebacker]

Am I the only one not upset about this? I was unimpressed when I seen him.

I know exactly what you are saying. We'll see if he can play at Iowa. I'm certainly a little surprised.

To me, he appears to be a 2-guard without an offensive game. He can always improve as he is pretty quick.
