    (2026) - C Arafan Diane

    Adam Finkelstein - Another immediate “Rankings Riser” from this weekend’s @3SSBCircuit is Iowa United big man Arafan Diane. He is now rated as the top center in the rising senior class.
  2. It's never too early. Earlier in the week, The Daily Hoosier listed 4 prospect names in the '26 class and today, Dushawn London talks about Caleb Holt. Brayden Fogle (Lexington, Ohio) Tyran Stokes (Pittsburg, California) Caleb Holt (New Market, Alabama) Alex Constanza (Miami, Florida) https://247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/Article/Basketball-recruiting-Auburn-Alabama-Ole-Miss-Georgia-Caleb-Holt-190163708/

    (2026) - Vaughn Karvala

    Enough of this uncertainty, wariness, anxiety, dubitation, incertitude. We're listed in his final 3 and he's making an announcement on Nov. 1. So he announces on the 1st for IU. But wait, upon further review, he didn't have a formal IU offer? Bull excrement. I'm starting a thread for him regardless of the tremor, misdoubt, qualm, skepticism as to does he or doesn't he. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/class-of-2026-wing-vaughn-karvala-announces-finalists-and-announcement-date/ 247 On3 https://www.hudl.com/profile/18787117/Vaughn-Karvala https://www.insidethehall.com/2025/10/23/class-of-2026-four-star-wing-vaughn-karvala-to-announce-college-decision-on-saturday-november-1/ https://www.on3.com/rivals/news/vaughn-karvala-down-to-5-schools-cal-indiana-xavier/ https://247sports.com/college/indiana/article/indiana-basketball-recruiting-national-top-50-class-of-2026-prospect-vaughn-karvala-sets-announcement-for-nov-1-258248409/ https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/class-of-2026-wing-vaughn-karvala-announces-finalists-and-announcement-date/ Vaughn Karvala '26 - Team Herro Date Gms Pts FGM FGA 3PM 3PA FTM FTA Reb Ast TO Stl Blk 4/25 L 19 7 17 0 1 5 6 9 0 2 1 0 4/26 W 17 6 10 5 7 0 0 6 0 0 0 2 4/27 W 9 4 10 0 4 1 3 4 0 4 0 1 5/16 W 14 5 15 4 12 0 0 8 2 3 2 2 5/17 W 14 5 8 1 3 3 5 3 0 1 1 1 5/17 W 12 4 11 2 9 2 2 3 3 1 0 1 5/18 L 18 6 10 4 7 2 4 6 0 1 2 2 5/23 W 16 6 14 4 9 0 0 3 1 3 0 2 5/24 L 14 5 14 3 11 1 1 1 0 3 1 1 5/26 W 24 7 14 4 10 6 6 4 1 1 1 1 7/10 L 5 2 11 0 7 1 2 3 1 6 0 1 7/11 L 10 2 7 1 4 5 8 3 0 2 2 0 7/12 L 28 9 20 5 12 5 8 1 1 3 2 1 7/13 W 16 4 10 2 5 6 7 7 2 3 0 3 7/14 L 18 4 14 2 10 8 9 4 2 3 1 4 7/15 W 14 5 10 2 5 2 2 4 0 1 0 1 7/15 L 0 0 7 0 3 0 0 1 1 2 1 2 Count/Avg 18 14.0 39% 33% 74% 4.1 0.8 2.3 0.8 1.6

    Background on Brady Pettigrew https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/visiting-iu-basketball-this-weekend-2028-guard-brady-pettigrew/
  11. Waaaaaay tooo early but.............. I'm not 100% certain but I believe Landon is a brother to the Lampley sisters both of whom we've offered although '25 Jaylah didn't put us in her final 6. The other offer is to '26 Lola Lampley.

    Maybe not running but maybe a fast shuffling. Sounds pretty doubtful.

    Talia Goodman published her list of the B1G top 10 freshmen in the upcoming season. Makalusky and Caffey both on her list. It was basically just a list without any real narratives.

    High School Basketball Thread

    How soon before similar lawsuits aren't filed in every state in the union? How soon before kids who've been out of high school for a couple of years don't sue to get some kind of retroactive payment solely because they didn't get theirs?

    High School Basketball Thread

    Ohio high school athletes can temporarily sign NIL deals, following an Ohio judge granting a temporary restraining order on Monday. Franklin County Judge Jaiza Page granted the TRO against eligibility rules prohibiting high school athletes from signing endorsement deals while retaining amateur status. The order was granted in a lawsuit filed by 2027 4-star wide receiver and Ohio State commit Jamier Brown, who sued the Ohio High School Athletic Association last week. Back in 2022, the OHSAA voted against allowing NIL for high school athletes in the state. The judge's order will last 45 days until Dec. 15, when another hearing is scheduled for a preliminary injunction. Until then, the OHSAA will not be able to enforce its NIL rules. By all means, let's start making 5 and 6 figure payments to 15-18 year olds.
