2028 General Recruiting Thread (IUBB)

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Waaaaaay tooo early but..............           I'm not 100% certain but I believe Landon is a brother to the Lampley sisters both of whom we've offered although '25 Jaylah didn't put us in her final 6.  The other offer is to '26 Lola Lampley.

UGA and Missouri have both offered 2028 F Bentley Lusakueno after watching him today at Pace.  Indiana and Georgia Tech were also in to see him today.

 

Kenya paid a visit to Eric Reibe today at Bullis School and apparently made at least one more stop on his trip.

Absolutely no idea what, if any, level of interest we may have in Landon Lampley so this is purely FWIW from The Scout Lab

6'6" Landon Lampley is an ultra skilled forward who dominated this summer with the Meanstreets, finishing the season on a high note in Augusta. His blend of size, polished skill set, and relentless motor makes him one of the toughest matchups in his class. A true three-level threat, Landon is able to rise up as a lob threat, attack downhill with aggression, and stretch the floor knocking down shots from deep. He understands how to leverage his frame by punishing smaller defenders in the paint, going to a smooth turnaround in the midrange, and making opponents pay from beyond the arc when they sag off. #EYBL Circuit Averages (9 games) : 16.9 PPG | 6.6 REB | 1.5 AST | 0.8 STL | 0.7 BLK EFG%: 47.6% | TS%: 51.2% Landon attends Pike HS (IN), where he plays alongside multiple high-major prospects; as he continues to refine his ball-handling and extend his shooting range, he’s poised to become the next high-level player to emerge from the program!

Is he the kid who had 3 sisters who committed to Purdue and then decommitted and moved out of state when their Dad got an assistant coaching job?

That's the family of Steven Reynolds III who was offered by Woody, but DDV never demonstrated any interest in him.

Drew Adams headed to New Albany to check in on '28 Noah Washington.    Apparently New Washington also has a '29 Karson Stoudemire who's supposed to be one of the better freshman in the state.

Kyler Staley reported last night that Drew and KJ were on the road watching one of the top prospects in the state.  He didn't name names, but '28 Noah Washington and New Albany had a game last night so I'm making a wild guess this is the prospect.

The game was in Bloomington against South, so, if it was him, the mileage submission on the expense report shouldn't even be double digits.

247 reports Drew Adams will see Caleb Coolman today so will be surprised if he leaves Bloomington on Saturday without an IU offer.
