Highest in program history.

We offered on July 17, 2019. I can tell you Iowa, Louisville, Missouri and Wake Forest offered in June 2019 per his school's Twitter account. I didn't try digging any deeper. Clearly his AAU play last year triggered all the interest.

Mo Creek @Mo_Creek · 9h It’s crazy how loved I am from @IndianaMBB fans..to be honest I never really felt apart of the process after my freshman year....maybe I was more apart of the process than I know #ThankYou #MuchLoveIU

I only watched a couple of Lander's games but did watch a number of Leal's and IMO Leal is a streaky/spotty shooter.

Notre Dame will start classes 2 weeks early and end the semester before Thanksgiving with no fall break which seems to be a growing trend. No mention of ND's plans for its spring semester. https://news.nd.edu/news/notre-dame-to-begin-fall-semester-on-campus-the-week-of-aug-10/

Rogers is Co-Managing Editor of D1Baseball.com Kendall Rogers @KendallRogers SOURCES: @FurmanBaseball has been informed that the baseball program is being cut, sources told @d1baseball. Furman was a member of the #SoCon and finished the 2019 campaign with 13 conference wins. Just a sad day for baseball in the Palmetto State

Paul Biancardi @PaulBiancardi Khristian Lander told ESPN about his move to the class of 2020. “I decided after my visit to IU about reclassifying. I first had to make sure that my academics were in place. I’m excited about playing with the other incoming freshmen and the returning players. “

Perhaps someone should contact Nojel's mother and ask her what's up. I nominate Stu.

About as much as a snowball's chance in hell. Brunk comes off the bench barring injuries.

You're never to old to learn. At nearly 72 years of age, I today learned the definition for "a basket toss". https://www.wdrb.com/sports/bozich-uk-scandal-a-perfect-time-to-reassess-emphasis-on-cheerleaders-dance-teams/article_ae7d37b2-9932-11ea-95d6-ff868d517202.html

More reporting team GPAs.

But by announcing these plans now, it does avoid the sudden and unexpected events that happened on college campuses in March. Hopefully a vaccine is in place and they can always revise their plan accordingly. If I had a child headed off to college, I'd much rather know this information now and not have the uncertainty.

Archie's statement -

Must be something in the State of Kentucky's drinking water. Eric Crawford -WDRB in Louisvile University of Kentucky has announced the firing of all four of its cheerleading coaches and a longtime advisor after an internal investigation revealed incidents of alcohol use, hazing and public nudity during off-campus events.

University of South Carolina no fall break and second, we will conclude face-to-face instruction at Thanksgiving Break. https://sc.edu/safety/coronavirus/index.php#Messages Marquette also changing its calendar but not nearly as drastic as USC above. https://marquettewire.org/4033317/news/fall-semester-to-begin-and-end-early-among-changes-made-to-2020-21-academic-calendar/

The addition of Lander moves Indiana’s recruiting class up to No. 13 overall and No. 2 in the Big Ten. https://247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/Article/Khristian-Lander-Indiana-2020-Recruiting-Class-147259389/ https://indiana.rivals.com/news/khristian-lander-reclassifies-officially-joins-2020-class https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-basketball-khristian-landers-reclassification-to-the-class-of-2020-is-official/

To mask or not to mask? That is the question.

Nick Baumgart - Good ol' fashioned #B1G battle on recruiting trail underway for 6-9 Gary (IN) West PF Jalen Washington (2022). Westside HC Chris Buggs tells me Indiana, Purdue & Michigan St. are recruiting the 5-star hardest presently.

Alec Lasley - Outside of the state of Indiana, Archie Miller has started to prioritize his home state of Pennsylvania in the coming classes. On Sunday, Miller extended an offer to 2021 forward John Camden of Archbishop Carroll (PA), according to Stockrisers.com and later confirmed by TheHoosier.com. The four-star forward has been one of the biggest risers of late and has continued to receive offers despite no live evaluation period. The Hoosiers joined Wake Forest as programs to offer Camden just this weekend. He also holds offers from Florida, Miami, Syracuse, Penn State, Temple, Virginia Tech and Xavier. The 6-foot-7 wing averaged 15.8 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game while connecting on 72 threes last season. Camden's season was highlighted by a 37-point performance which included 10 made threes. Indiana has a crowded backcourt but doesn't have many true wings on the roster for the next few years. Camden fits that mold perfectly and is someone who could have the ability to play positions 2-4. His main attraction to many high-major programs, including Indiana is his ability to hit shots and stretch the floor. Up to this point, he is mainly a catch-and-shoot player. His next progression is to develop more of a pull-up game and the ability to create off of the bounce. Camden does have some versatility to his game with the ability to handle the ball and has relatively good vision for his size. Though his frame isn't necessarily very noticeable, his length more than makes up for it. Camden's sister just finished up her freshman season at Penn State on the women's team. He is ranked as the No. 84 overall prospect in the 2021 class.

A thread is now up and running for John Camden.
