With assistant coach Yasir Rosemond, Indiana has a close relationship with Harris’ AAU program, the Atlanta Celtics on the Adidas 3SSB circuit.  Rosemond and IU head coach Mike Woodson watched Harris’ 16u team this summer. But it is worth noting — Harris recently visited Purdue, and he has a unique connection to that school…

Hoosiers for Good launched in the spring and quickly became the leading name, image and likeness (NIL) collective for IU fans. With reputable board members and transparent operations, Hoosiers for Good quickly became the go-to collective IU fans could trust. But with Hoosiers for Good focused on the not-for-profit space, many fans have asked whether the approach could be replicated on the commercial side, to give fans and companies alike a chance to support IU athletes in the broader business community via a reputable organization they trust.  It appears that has happened.
