We should have the lowest recruiting budget in years for the 27' class.

Rob Cassidy on '27 prospects.  Unfortunately he omitted IU in the list of offes.

Possibly the best-known name in the 2027 class, Oladotun is already a national recruit. When he’s at his best, he looks like a top-five prospect in the class based on his 6-foot-9 frame and developing skill set. He projects as a modern, versatile wing that can defend any position. He’s capable of putting the ball on the floor and creating in the post as well as on the perimeter.

The polish and consistency aren’t there just yet, and the Maryland-based star will need to add weight while he becomes a more reliable outside shooter, but the pro potential is obvious to anyone that has watched him play. Oladotun averaged 14 points and 3.7 assists per game while running with Team Durant in the EYBL 15u division this summer.

Recruitment: Oladotun already boasts a lengthy offer list, which will continue to grow quickly in the coming years. Programs such as Texas, Florida State, UCLA, Cincinnati, Maryland, USC and Ole Miss have already offered.

We have a massive amount of talent in the state of Indiana. J. Mitchell is in Evansville and the first offer we through put is to a kid that will be in the AJ Dybansta category while Underwood is working Mitchell.

Pretty hard for me to get too worked up about recruiting any kid who's just a high school sophomore.
