Bates was 30th nationally, and Jalen is 23rd...

Who said Woodson wouldn't be able to recruit. And out of state too. 

Holy cow I'm likin' it.

The guys who questioned his ability to recruit completely whiffed on his NBA pedigree and all that goes with it.

Welcome JHS to Indiana basketball. The pedigree and love for the game is unmatched anywhere.

Highly recommend zooming in on the Twitter pic until you see the face on the phone post-JHS commitment:

The pushback that Fran gets in this thread for asserting something that’s just not remotely arguable is a sight to behold.

Agreed. But I also think his personality goes a long long way too with kids.

And have to give the admin props for the entire wrap around staff. 

I'd love to see another 5 star pop before the end of the year.

This is a huge point. Woody is just really damn cool. He’ll be the “uncle” in recruiting and that’ll go a long way with a lot of kids.

He just seems so likeable and genuine. But "sure" of things at the same time. Can be soft spoken, or stern/direct. Humble, yet confident. Mature, but also fun.

Kind of guy I'd love to have beers or a scotch with.

Listening to his opening press conference, I thought this same thing, but also that his personality might go even farther with the parents, which could be even more important. On a similar note, the guy could have a serious side hustle recording ASMR videos.

Why isn't JHS a 5 star? He's in the top 25.

He's really close and I imagine he will get upgraded to a 5-star at some point during his senior year.  5 stars start at 0.9900 in the 247 composite and JHS is currently at 0.9891.

Thanks for the info.

Just checked out 247.

As of right now, the composite rating is 5 star, 0.9907, and is 24th overall. I think they recently updated.

His 247 rating is 97, and he's 24th there too.

Rivals has him ranked 20th, but he's still a 4 Star. The 19th ranked player is a 5 Star, so he's right on the edge.

ESPN has him 32nd, grade is 88, and a 4 Star.

The other prospects much have even greater ranges if Jalen's 24+20+32 equates to a 24th composite

Rob Cassidy after the latest Rivals rankings announced.

Movement: Up from No. 32 to No. 20 overall

The lowdown: Hood-Schifino has added a load of lean muscle over the past year and already knows how to use his strength to get to the bucket. These days, the 6-foot-5 guard has the physicality to go along with his plus ball handling and an ability to get to his spots, in addition to his knack for finishing in traffic. His reshaped body has also helped him on the defensive end, where he’s one of the more positionally versatile defenders among the guards in this class. He seems to be a nice fit in the Big Ten, which makes sense, considering he recently committed to Indiana.

Where he might land: Hood-Schifino is committed to Indiana.

You have spoken it into existence. JHS is now at .9907 and officially a 247 composite 5-star.

It was only a matter of time. For some reason the rating sites don’t default to 5 star inside the top 25 but they always end up there…sometimes all the way up to the top 30
