Those 5 players have IU offers.  Davis and Thompson both attend suburban Chicago high schools.

Add 28 to that group and I would be extremely pleased. Then go get a couple more from the portal and we are set for 2026.

As of July 2025, the 247Sports Composite will now include three recruiting services: 247Sports, ESPN and On3. This update comes as the recruiting landscape continues to evolve with On3 recently completing a rebrand under the Rivals name. While the new On3 brand carries forward the Rivals legacy, it is a distinct entity and not the same Rivals that was previously part of the 247Sports Composite formula. With that structural shift, the original Rivals rankings are no longer included in the 247Sports Composite system. It will now be made up of 247Sports, ESPN and the rebranded On3, with each service accounting for one-third of the formula, resulting in a 33.3% distribution across the three remaining rankings.

Full details in the link below.

I really wish ESPN wasn’t part of the formula, at least in basketball. They just don’t put the same number of eyes on these kids as the other services, particularly down board kids, and they’re gonna skew some results. Not like it matters in any substantive way but it is annoying.
