Popular Post Class of '66 Old Fart Posted May 25, 2020 Popular Post Posted May 25, 2020 Jon Rothstein: Khristian Lander instantly raises Indiana’s ceiling This officially makes the Hoosiers a contender in the Big Ten entering next season. Indiana did suffer a blow this week when veteran forward Justin Smith opted to graduate and transfer, but Archie Miller still has the pieces in place to have his best season yet in Bloomington. A big reason for that is the addition of Lander, a five-star prospect who opted to reclassify and join the Hoosiers’ 2020 recruiting class. The 6-1 guard should form a dynamic back court with reliable floor general Rob Phinisee next season while Trayce Jackson-Davis should be an All-Big Ten first-team caliber player as a sophomore. The 6-9 lefty averaged 13.5 points and 8.4 rebounds last season as a freshman while shooting an impressive 56.5 percent from the field. How will Miller replace Smith? A combination of more skilled players, headlined by veteran Al Durham (9.8 points in 19-20), who could join Lander and Phinisee regularly in a three-guard alignment on the perimeter. Jerome Hunter and freshmen Jordan Geronimo, Anthony Leal, and Trey Galloway also figure to be in the mix for minutes on the wing. To win conference titles and go deep into the NCAA Tournament, most college basketball teams need players who have the ability, skill, and athleticism to play beyond the collegiate level. The Hoosiers now have two of those players in Lander and Jackson-Davis. Indiana has all the requisites to be a top tier team in the Big Ten next season and is currently ranked 19th in the ROTHSTEIN 45. mdn82, GloryDays, BtownStrength and 9 others 12 Quote

The "one year removed" provision is in addition to the minimum age requirement. He will have met that requirement but will not be eligible for the draft until 2022. Quote
