    I don't typically start a recruit thread unless we see multiple reports or a tweet from the player that an offer has been extended. In Mingo's case, the only thing I've seen is the article below from The Daily Hoosier that contains this: Mingo told national 247Sports analyst Brandon Jenkins Indiana is one of the schools recruiting him the hardest. IU assistant coach Rod Clark appears to be leading the charge for Indiana. So if we're recruiting him that hard................... https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-basketball-recruiting-class-of-2026-name-to-know-5-star-guard-dylan-mingo/?fbclid=IwY2xjawLg3lRleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETFLOVJFT3dMUEV3UVl5MktsAR54zbrUIGxls47PRsyLwp0FTqOPVbb_1cM45pZErOywCk7RzH7FkpyXjQ-aAQ_aem_ZYnEDmACs6T5YrSIJ0wYyQ 247 Rivals On3 Hudl

    IMO it's because no formal offer has been extended for the services to report. It's an if you want to come to IU, we'll make a spot for you kind of thing.

    2025 Boys AAU Season

    Here's some stats for our 3SSB offers. Some detailed box score data was posted for the first events in May but not for the event that just ended. What 3SSB has done is provide an abbreviated stat line for the May events which consisted of 8 games. Big bummer is there are no shooting statistics. Also, although the teams played 8 games, there's no way to know for certain if the individual player played in all 8. They've done the same for the event just ended which had most teams playing 5 games. 3SSB's final event of the season is next weekend July 17-20.
