Haralson, Maleek Thomas, Sisley and a big man for 2025.  That will do it.   Am I asking too much?

No we (IU) needs to get greedy from time to time and get a class full of studs.

Jalen's season ended with a 59-53 loss to Zionsville.  Jalen 17p; 10r; 4a.

Zionsville got a big game from Logan Imes whom I believe is going to Penn State.

Haralson will remain with the Indy Heat AAU team (EYBL) but play 17U.

Good. Has no business playing 16’s. Hopefully, Sisley does the same.

Which schools do you feel are the most involved in your recruitment?

“Indiana, Gonzaga, Duke, Purdue, UConn, Iowa, Auburn, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, and some others.”

[Class of '66 Old Fart 82,888]

"Indiana was one of the first schools that reached out me. Me and coach Mike Woodson have been building our relationship for a long time now. I was the first 2025 that he offered so for him, he made me a priority early so I really respect that about him."

Fishers HS participating in the KABC Shootout in Kentucky today.  Trevor Andershock reports we're there but didn't specify which staff member(s).

Brandon Ramsey:  Fishers rolled to a blowout victory against Jeffersonville with Jalen Haralson & Cooper Zachary each scoring 18 points while Kennan Garner added 15 points. Tre Singleton had a game-high 21 points in the loss for Jeff.

I hate this for Indiana high school basketball and it probably doesn't help the local college teams in his recruitment. If he was sold on going to IU or PU there would be no need to move.  You make this move to get seen by more college coaches

We seem to generally not recruit LaLu under any coaching staff.  It’ll be interesting to see if this changes as Woodson isn’t easily intimidated. 
 

MSU has landed a bunch of LaLu cats.

Time for that to change...

Hate to see it but we've seriously upgraded the level of talent we're recruiting and we're going to encounter this happening more and more.  For high level 15-18 year old kids, the elite prep schools offer so much more than sticking with your local high school and its coaching staff and facilities.

And for some perspective. In my notes, I have 50 offers that Woody has extended to the '24 class some who have already committed elsewhere.  Of the 50, 17 offers were to kids already attending elite prep schools and that's just the recognized elite prep schools or basketball factories as I used to call them.  Don't fool yourself but some of the "high schools" in other states that have kids we're pursuing are just a small step below the prep schools but they're leaps and bounds ahead of a traditional high school.
