Season recap. https://www.insidethehall.com/2021/04/19/thats-a-wrap-anthony-leal/?fbclid=IwAR1g2PVnlfDBrSvZ4wTykKg4CoKBn_W9OeL0EYUGv6cfU0nZjVVuBJqsnIw

Typically, we don't start a specific recruit thread until a formal offer has been extended. Certainly nothing that's carved in stone just been the SOP in the past.

I know IU has been in contact, but I've not seen anything to indicate he's received an actual offer.

Matt Reynolds - Director of Prep Hoops Circuit - Jalen Washington cleaned up everything inside for @nikemeanstreets this weekend. Not to mention he shot it well out of pick and pop. Washington has a bright future at the High Major level. Team went 6-0 on the weekend.

No idea to what extend CMW will have in Will Lovings-Watts but he teamed up with Reggie Bass (Illinois commit) on Team Teague this past weekend and apparently played quite well. Coincidentally, The Daily Hoosier posted a brief story on him earlier today that includes a 4:00 vid clip. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/watch-class-of-2022-in-state-guard-will-lovings-watts-junior-season-highlights/?fbclid=IwAR24UqXuWF-aimzAKki_G8thffanIhOzgEysXn7Ongg0Uu3XDfO2eW-l_E0 # Gms PPG FG% 3FG% FT% RBG Asst TO Stls Blk 20-21 HS 22 16.3 58% 48% 6.3 19-20 HS 16 13.0 49% 29% 71% 7.3 1.4 1.2 1.1 0.4 18-19 HS 25 8.4 61% 13% 66% 5.2 1.0 1.3 0.7 1.0

Still unknown how many offers extended by the previous staff will be re-affirmed. Matt Reynolds - Director of the Prep Hoops Circuit - AJ Casey 2022 @MeanstreetsEYB standout lived up to the hype. He can score at all three levels, impacts defense and plays with heart. Five star no doubt. Jalen Washington is Casey's teammate on Meanstreets and the team went 6-0 on the weekend.

Gunn's Indy Heat AAU team went 6-0 this weekend. No player stats but here's a clip his father posted. He's #21.

Kansas offered.

“Ohio State, West Virginia, Indiana, Cincinnati, Dayton and NC State have really been showing a lot of love lately,” Phillips said. https://indiana.rivals.com/news/shawn-phillips-hoping-for-an-informative-summer?fbclid=IwAR2lR3SQmTuIH7t6ZnhmOtYutA0MSi3wtP_X6_GKZEkv9U72K7ePti78HWs

Just commented in the '22 Recruiting thread how difficult it is to get info from the non-shoe company sponsored AAU events except for an occasional tweet and voila, one pops up. Scott Burgess - Senior Scouting Director for PrepHoopsIL -- Best I have seen Jalen Washington since pre injury today. Five star power forward dropping wet 15 foot jumpers one after another, hook shots, quick post moves.

An updated list of IU prospects from The Daily Hoosier. I've posted it in the '22 recruiting thread, but the list also includes '23 prospects as well as a couple of '24s. Don't be misled by the wording in the URL. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/first-look-indianas-class-of-2020-and-2021-prospects/ Also take the opportunity to point out that AAU events are happening across the country and many of our offerees are participating. Unfortunately, in these smaller events, scores are the only thing that usually get posted except for an occasional tweet about a players performance. Once the shoe company events commence, we should start seeing individual player stats. Currently UAA is the only one that's published a calendar and its first event won't be held until the last weekend in May but it's in Westfield and perhaps by that time, spectators will be allowed.

Crean and Georgia offered Jalen Hooks today.

Mike Schumann of TheDailyHoosier - Also watched 2022 PG Braden Smith (Westfield, Ind.) today at PAC. Has the great vision and shooting ability he's known for, but he has made clear strides with his speed, athleticism and strength, and he is a legit 6-foot now.

Former 4-star Keon Edwards @Keoniswinning has transferred to Nebraska from DePaul

A small sample, but his performance is quite consistent from game to game. March 29 - @TeamDickerson1 was undefeated at @RYZEHoops Tip-Off this past weekend. In 4 games, @NoahClowney averaged 16.25 PPG, 10.25 RPG, & 3 BPG. An aggressive scorer & defender. From the above event - 2022 PF Noah Clowney (Team Dickerson)- Clowney is having a huge start to the travel season, with great showings in each of Team Dickerson’s first 2 events. He possesses all the physical traits the college coaches desire and looks to have become extremely confident in his offensive ability. At close to 6’10” he runs with fluid, long strides that cover a lot of ground and he gets up off the floor easily. Clowney has finished with both force and finesse at the rim the last 2 weekends, but is also showing shooting ability that extends out to 3. Just as impressive is his ability to protect the basket, altering and sending away countless shots with long arms, big hands, and good timing. He’s making noticeable progress in tapping into the immense potential that he has shown at various points of his high school career.

Haven't found any video but did find this from April 10 - Georgia Stars vs Team Dickerson 17U Was a great game to watch the battle of bigs. Shaun Phillips 13 points on 6-10 with 14 rebs and 5 blks. For Team Dickerson Noah Clowney had 19 on 7-15 with 8 rebs 3 blks. Another game - Pro One vs Team Dickerson 17U. NoahClowney was the story of this game early on offense and finished it on defense he finished with 23 points, 11 reb. and 7 blks. Paul Biancardi - Noah Clowney has had a productive day! Brings physical measurables, a scoring package with length and is a shot blocking presence. Like his IQ to cut for scoring opportunities & his quick finishes. April 4th event: 3 Games Sat with @TeamDickerson1 @NoahClowney averaged 15.3 PPG, 8.7 RPG, 1.7 BPG

Jake Weingarten - Illinois adds Utah transfer Alfonso Plummer, he announced. All-Pac 12 prospect who averaged over 15.5 points per game and was a vital part of the Utes roster all year long. A program that lost several players now adds talent right back.

Three-star forward Markus Ilver signs with the #Badgers, gives Greg Gard a four-man recruiting class in 2021. A native of Estonia, the 6-foot-8, 200-pound combo forward from Woodstock, Virginia, most recently played a partial season of high school basketball (due to COVID-19 restrictions) at Western Reserve Academy in Hudson, Ohio during the 2020-21 season. Ilver played at Massanutten Military Academy in Virginia in 2019-20. A three-star recruit according to 247 Sports, Ilver was ranked as the No. 6 player from the state of Ohio and the 40th-best power forward in the country in the Class of 2021.
