This post is a snapshot of how IU targets are faring against all of the other (approximately 100) competitors after 3 games at the Pangos camp. Lots of blanks because there's a different number of kids being ranked in the different categories. For example, the stat site is posting the top 30 scorers but the FG% category is only listing the top 15; rebounding the top 21, etc. So although Iwuchukwu is the leading scorer, he's not in the top 15 in FG%. After 3 Games Scoring Avg - Rank FG% Vincent Iwuchukwu 22.0 - 1 N.A. Zion Cruz 15.0 - 7 N.A. Alex Karaban 14.3 - 10 N.A. Avery Brown 12.3 - 22 N.A. Justice Williams 11.7 - 28 72% - 5 Jalen Hooks N.A. 69% - 11 Rebounding Avg - Rank Vincent Iwuchukwu 10.0 - 2 Alex Karaban 5.7 - 8 Assists Avg - Rank Zion Cruz 3.7 - T4 3-Point FG Justice Williams 3 of 5 - T7

Pangos All-American Camp started yesterday (runs June 6-8) and I'll attempt to provide info on IU players of interest in this thread. Yesterday, they had skills camps in the a.m. and then each player is assigned to either an ACC or a Pac 12 team and a single game was played last night. Today, skills camps in the a.m. and 2 games in the p.m. and a similar format tomorrow. Full camp schedule and team rosters available at: http://www.pangosaacamp.com/ Sunday's single game: Scoring Vincent Iwuchukwu 26 Zion Cruz 18 Alex Karaban 14 Avery Brown 14 Rebounding Total Off.

The Pangos All-American Camp started today and a list of all of the participants was posted. Washington's name is listed as invited but unable to play due to injury, visits or other conflicts. No idea the specific reason.

Sounds like it is only 2 games but perhaps more importantly is that we're allowed an additional 10 practices because of the trip.

With the number of new players and the limited amount of time they'll have practicing together before this trip it'll be interesting to see early on how everything is meshing together.

A. J. Guyton: He is, throwback mindset, that’s what I liked about talking to him. New school with an old school mentality

Top-80 ranked 2022 WBB prospect Imarianah Russell, 5-11 W, Reynoldsburg HS (OH), has announced her top five schools: Indiana, Ole Miss, Ohio, Ohio State, and West Virginia. Hudl From Feb. 2021: During the Reynoldsburg girls basketball team’s 73-31 victory over Gahanna on Feb. 2, junior guard Imarianah Russell scored the 1,000th point of her prep career. Russell, who spent her first two seasons at Dublin Coffman before joining the Raiders this winter, needed 11 points heading into the game and finished with 22. She has been averaging 21.5 points for Reynoldsburg, which is 10-4 and received the No. 3 seed for the Division I district tournament. Russell averaged 17 points as a freshman and 12 last season. “It was exciting,” Russell said. “I’ve been waiting for this.” Oct. 2020 from a Girls Hoops Proving Ground event in Ohio: Imarianah Russell (5’11 G / Reynoldsburg / 2022): Mari can flat out HOOP. Whether it is pushing the ball in transition, pulling up from three, finishing at the rim or delivering the perfect pass, Russell excels. She is consistent on both the offensive and defensive glass and is constantly working for better position. Russell already holds offers from several Power 5 schools including Ohio State, West Virginia, Penn State and Ole Miss. Moving to Reynoldsburg from Dublin Coffman where she was a standout performer for two years, Russell will provide a major impact for a Lady Raiders program that is as talented as any in the state. From Sep. 2020 - Imarianah Russell '22 is 5'11" PG/SG attending Dublin Coffman HS in Dublin, OH. She is rated #75 by PrepGirlsHoops.com. She was named Honorable Mention for Ohio Division 1 girls basketball last season.
