[Class of '66 Old Fart 80,940]

We offered pretty late in Malik Reneau's recruitment (July '21) and although he listed us in his top 7 on August 1, he committed to Florida on Sept. 1.

That would be a great pick up if we can land him. I remember that IU was recruiting him before. Probably a long shot since IU didn't make his final list, though.

Actually, he did list us in his top 7 on August 1, 2021.

Hopefully usage of TJD/Race, a decent 1st season for Woody, and teaming up with JHS again lead him to IU.

I would guess having JHS gets IU a bigger look this time around and maybe get him on campus for a visit.   Easiest for him might be following his coach to Georgia and staying in the same conference

Believe he’s a FL native, too, not just an out-of-state Montverde player.

Is he projected in any mock drafts? Seems like an odd choice but good for him.

He can always test the waters and still enter the portal down the road

It is, and it presents another challenge for coaches.  Right now a coach has to ensure the players he needs come back, explore the portal, explore any quality decommits, and deal with his own players that may wish to explore the NBA route.

Timing will be everything.  Who do you target? How long do you wait on their decision, etc..  I don't envy those coaches having to "spin all those plates".

All while recruiting the top HS prospects

This guy officially has my attention. Good length, active on defense, can create for himself off the dribble going towards the basket or creating space on the perimeter, and seems to have deep range (lots of 3's 2-4 feet beyond the line). Has played well anytime the competition has ratcheted up as well. 27 points vs Wisky & 19 vs Murray State this year, 17 & 7 vs Ohio State last year.
