From ESPN:

Five-star forward Malik Reneau commits to play basketball at Indiana

Five-star recruit Malik Reneau announced his commitment to Indiana on Monday, giving men's basketball coach Mike Woodson his second top-25 prospect in the 2022 class.

Reneau announced his decision via social media.

He decommitted from Florida last month following the coaching change in Gainesville: Mike White left for Georgia, while the Gators hired San Francisco's Todd Golden as his replacement.

 

Reneau, a 6-foot-8 forward from Montverde Academy (Florida), is ranked No. 21 in the ESPN 100 for 2022 and is the No. 5 center in the class. He boosted his stock considerably last summer playing for the Nightrydas Elite grassroots program on the Nike EYBL circuit, averaging 17.2 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 12 games. He shot 61.8% from inside the arc.

During the high school season, Reneau put up 10.9 points and 6.9 rebounds in 10 games at the NIBC Invitational.

Time to give Woody an extension with a MASSIVE buyout!

How does Malik pronounce his last name?

On Geico Nationals the announcers were pronouncing it “ruh-new”. I had been pronouncing it “ruh-no” myself. I’m probably right per usual tbh.

Kinda makes the Dexter Dennis visit somewhat awkward. (I think he's supposed to be in today and tomorrow).

"Glad to see you. Here's our lovely campus. Here are our facilities. Here's some of the fellas. ... Um ... unfortunately, we no longer have a scholarship to offer you." 

That is unless, of course, they expect TJD to leave.

so are you using your inner scooby doo voice when pronouncing his name?

According to 247sports, I believe this is the first time ever we've gotten 2 5stars in one class. 

Patterson/Reed in 94. Bracey Wright & Marshall Strickland also maybe

Malik Reneau is the #9 trending topic in the US on Twitter behind “tax day”, “Alex Jones”, and “welcome to poundtown”. Truly elite company.

if Dennis commits, I think someone is out the door assuming TJD returns.  Who that might be I have no idea.

I pronounce it the same way as you do which means you're probably right.

I'm certain this was contemplated.

1. There will be a spot that will be open for Dennis if he chooses IU.
2. There will (of course) be a spot open for Trayce if he chooses to stay.

I will bet my last functioning brain cell that Miller Kopp will not be starting, nor will he be playing more than 15 minutes per game.

And I really like Miller Kopp.

For the 2 and 3 spots, there will be a competition between  Jordan G, Tamar, JHS, Trey, and either Dennis or McNeil.

Five players - two starting sports. May the best two win.

[monskisprodigy]

Does this give us 13 scholarship players...if so, no one has to leave even if TJD comes back, right?

Aren't we in communication with the shooter from West Virginia also? If either him or Dennis commit, and TJD doesn't come back, someone would still have to leave. If Dennis commits' and TJD comes back we need two to go?

1:26 mark in the Reneau clip for a glimpse at how fast breaks will look for the next 2+ seasons.

I would like to think so! He didn't deserve it this year.

Miller Kopp coming off the bench to spot up is a great option. His playing time this year should also help his defense to stay in the game when he gets hot.

I swore I’d dial back paying too much attention to recruiting after we lost Clowney even though he reportedly enjoyed, when he went to Bloomington, the best visit in the history of recruiting.
 But…..here I am back to taking a peek for news of of Malik’s visit every few hours. LOL

Funny thing came on here to say "Clowney who?" and read comments. I haven't been this excited about IU BBALL since before Syracuse 2013 game.
