I couldn't find that a thread had been started but if it has, mods can just delete this one.  Rabjohns tweeting Five-star point guard Khristian Lander, 2020 signee Anthony Leal, 2022 Braden Smith ('22 Westfield HS) headline the recruits planning to visit Indiana today.

And for trivia buffs, today is the anniversary  of the famous chair toss by The General - Feb. 23, 1985.

Indiana University is in its 120th season of competition in men's basketball and will play its lone home game in a stretch of 4 of 5 on the road when it hosts Penn State on Sunday. The Hoosiers are coming off a 68-56 win at Minnesota, while Penn State fell 62-56 at home to Illinois.  PSU won the first meeting between the two teams 64-49 on January 29.  The Hoosiers are tied for 4th in the country with 4 wins over nationally ranked teams (Florida State, Ohio State, Michigan State, Iowa).
