Refresher on his AAU season.  That 42% on 3's looks nice.

Following Jerome Hunter, we're on a six player streak of commits (in order: Romeo, Armaan, TJD, Joey, Trey, Anthony) that are:

1. From the great State of Indiana
2. Had absolutely zero chance of stating that they were committing to the "University of Indiana"

Inside. Out. 

(but overwhelmingly, just plain "inside").

Really happy with this pickup! I see BIG championships when Leal and Galloway are Juniors/Seniors

Hell ... Tim Priller could say that too. ;)

Coach is locking it down, this is a great start to the 2020 class.

Congratulations to an obviously great kid. We all know there have been some kids through the years who didn’t really seem to get how special an opportunity they had been blessed with. Love to see a kid who does. 

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Excited for Leal and his family. Has to be an absolute dream come true. Seeing all those pictures with great Hoosiers growing up, this was a no brainer.

Pride and a shooting knack. That should be nice.

“Growing up as a kid, playing for IU was something I could only imagine in my dreams,” Leal said. “Now that I have the opportunity to achieve that dream and hopefully inspire people of all ages, it feels so right to be able to say I am a Hoosier and be a leader in returning Indiana basketball to its reputation of success and pride that I and so many people like me fell in love with in the past.”

“In the end, for me to be able to play in front of friends and family, especially with "Indiana" across my chest, is a blessing and only something I could’ve achieved with God’s grace,” Leal said. “Coach Miller is building something special and believes in me to be a cornerstone of that process. Ultimately, being a part of something so much bigger than myself is an opportunity I am eager to get started, and I can’t wait to do whatever it takes to help Indiana basketball win games at a high rate.”

Remember when Archie was going to lose Leal because he waited on an offer?  Pepperidge farms remembers.

If we get Lander maybe sooner

I just said it recently and I will say it again. I never dreamed we could have this much success recruiting this state. That said we will soon see how much success that leads to. Happy to get this kid.

Pretty sure this video has been posted in here already, but I’m posting it again to point out that #32 in this video is our own Trey Galloway. That may have already been pointed out, but these two playing together was DANGEROUS this summer. Give it another watch.

I don't LOL at too many of the comments on here but the Pepperidge Farms line got me. Well done, sir.

Also, GO HOOSIERS!

I laughed so hard when I read this. Nice reference

Galloway and Leal are huge for our program. So much better than their individual rankings. Packaging these two together is like adding a 5 star imo.
