IU (likely Rosemond) watching Clowney today. Dorman beaten by Grayson 48-43. Only stat I saw for Clowney was 6 pts.

Woody at Carmel watching Washington and '23 Xavier Booker.

“They’re very much still in touch,” Washington said Saturday at the IBCA/IHSAA Team Showcase in memory of Charlie Hughes. “Coach (Dane) Fife has been recruiting me since he was at Michigan State. Pretty much the week that he got the job, he let me know that IU and he would still be recruiting me as he was at MSU. I’m really interested to meet Coach Woody. He’s an excellent basketball mind and human being and it would be great to meet him. A lot of the guys from the Knicks organization, everybody loves him. I just want to get to meet him to see how he is personally.” https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-basketball-recruiting-jalen-washington-speaks-well-of-indiana-but-unc-shows-force/

In a late Saturday game Bishop McNamara was defeated by DeMatha 55-45. Aire with 13 pts. on 6-9 FG; 1-5 FT; 8 reb; 5 TO; 6 blks. He fouled out with 3 min. left in the game

Alec Lasley - 2022 forward Kaleb Banks with a big performance earlier today in front of IU head coach Mike Woodson and assistant Yasir Rosemond, finishing with 26 points.

Gunn scored 30 pts. in an 84-78 win over Southport.

Joey Hart with 30 pts. as Linton-Stockton defeated Plainfield 72-38 at the Charlie Hughes Shootout.

Officially off the board. He announced his top 6: Louisville, Alabama, Maryland, Georgetown, Virginia Tech, and Notre Dame.

Dustin Dopirak @DustinDopirak Talked to Washington. He's still got a Purdue visit coming up Monday and is still pleased with what he's hearing from Indiana. Was impressed by the show of force from UNC. Said he expected to see two coaches but not four.

Charlie Hughes Shootout -- Indiana-bound guard CJ Gunn with 15 in Lawrence North's win over Gary West Side. Jalen Washington with 24 points to lead all scorers in his first game in about six weeks. From Dustin Dopirak: Impressive moment on defense by C.J. Gunn, who got up and blocked one of Washington's shots even though he's giving up a good bit of height. Washington's clearly the best player on the floor, but Gunn hasn't backed down when he's ended up on him in the Lawrence North zone

In the Charlie Hughes Shootout Anderson defeated Heritage Christian. Colvin 21 pts. for HC.

Another take on Durr and what he needs to bring. https://indiana.rivals.com/news/roster-outlook-michael-durr?fbclid=IwAR1vcnMT0j2TD6JRbBl5uGpcLOqvfdWiVTWxc6Gx3ZtvJe7tcoWrWjnHXUc

Kenya Hunter at the Charlie Hughes Shooutout watching Booker.

Woody himself watching Filipowski again today.

No idea of IU's interest, if any, in Jayden Pinkston of Indpls. Tindley but in 2 games yesterday at the Charlie Hughes Shootout he averaged 17 ppg in wins over Indpls. Pike and Indpls. Arsenal Tech.

Some highlights from Friday's games at the Commonwealth Basketball Group event. Favour Aire (1 game): 22 pts. and 18 reb. (8 offensive reb.); 8-10 FT Rodney Rice (2 games): 13 offensive rebounds and 11 assists Tyrell Ward (2 games): 21.5ppg (18-30); 7 steals;

FW Snider destroyed Lawrence North 85-60. 6'3" Aidan Lambert dropped in 52 pts. for Snider. Gunn with 25 for LN. LN lost a lot of firepower and will be interesting to follow the team this season and how much Gunn steps up his game.

Lots of quotes from his high school coach. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/prominent-louisville-high-school-coach-blown-away-by-iu-basketball-coaching-staff/?fbclid=IwAR2IqwvyEmy6la2zy5Ksv7UsPinHUIRX0QXr3AKZ35Y-Hb_7lPWdtqBnmjQ

Sounds like we're clearly interested in Collier. Trent Markwith of Relentless Hoops indicates we're one of many schools watching Wheeler (GA) vs. Rockledge (FL).

Interesting report from Jon Rothstein with summer workouts currently taking place. Marquette's Dawson Garcia is entering the transfer portal, per his Twitter page. Garcia is also an early entrant to the NBA Draft. A return to Marquette is also possible.
