Jason Gardner for the win in today's first game. On the previous possession he fired a pass to a teammate for an open 3 that tied the game and then this play with 6 seconds left. His best overall game of the event scoring 13 pts on 5-6 FG and added another 7 assists bringing his 4-game total to 29 and just 5 TOs. https://x.com/i/status/1929955473060704574

German shooting guard Mathieu Grujicic has committed to Ohio State,

Last night's Indiana Futures Game the north beat the south 123 - 113. I couldn't get a decent screen shot of the north squad's stats but '28 Amarian Legget of Blackford HS (Luke Brown anyone?) was the game MVP with 24 pts and 9 reb. This is the south squad's stat line

From last night in Indiana. Final: North 106, South 92 in girls Futures Game. The MVP is Janaya Cooper of Fort Wayne Snider with 16 points, 8 rebounds.

'26 Jacob Webber from Kearney, NE announced yesterday he was transferring to La Lumiere. He's not necessarily on the IU radar but Raby used the news to again mention that we have solid connections to La Lu with our current staff and that's not something we've had for far too many recruiting seasons.

Should have kept my keyboard silent. I jinxed Bryson Howard as he only had 4 points in yesterday's second game. But Jason Gardner Jr. is having a heckuva camp as he had 7 assists in yesterday's second game bringing his 3-game total to 22 and he's only been charged with 4 TOs. Considering his teammates are all brand new to him, those are pretty impressive numbers. Unfortunately, he's shooting like Tom Crean shot free throws. IYKYK. Camp wraps up later today.

Several IU offers playing in the Pangos All-American Camp in Las Vegas. College coaches and staff not permitted to attend. Teams have played 2 games and after 2 games Jason Gardner Jr. has recorded 15 assists and just 3 turnovers. Bryson Howard averaging18 ppg. Sammy Jackson is there as well as Collins Onyejiaka. Teams play another game tonight and a 4th Tuesday afternoon. Then the players are divided into 2 squads for the final 2 games called Top 40 and Top 60. By the luck of the draw, Gardner and Onyejiaka are playing on the same team.

3 different schools for his high school career!! Just got word that 6’9” 2026 W @BraylenLangley will attend Skyline Prep@skylineprep for his senior year. Played first two years at Evansville Reitz (IN) and this past season at Legacy Early College (SC)

Holt was named MVP of the 3SSB event and Bruce Branch won the Rising Star award.

Intends to take an IU OV in Sept. He'll be at Oregon the weekend of Sept. 6, and also plans to visit Texas, Kentucky & Louisville. New assistant coach Clark was recruiting him at TN and Kinney was quoted as saying they're pretty close as well as Clark is close to Kinney's stepdad.

3SSB Eurocamp has ended. Number of IU offers participated all on the 3SSB Select team which went undefeated at the event.
