Indiana doesn’t have any available scholarships at this moment, but that hasn’t stopped the staff from reaching out to potential additions to the 2021-22 roster. The latest name connected to IU is a very intriguing big man from an atypical pathway to high major college basketball. ESPN’s Jonathan Givony reported that Indiana is in contact with Shawnee State forward EJ Onu. According to Givony’s report, Onu has very attractive measurables at 6-foot-11, 240 pounds and a 7-foot-6 wingspan — and he combines those physical attributes with a highly versatile skillset. Onu is athletic, mobile, can run the floor, and he…

If they don’t bring in a point guard in the class of 2022, that position will spring to the top of the priority list for Indiana after the upcoming season. Indiana’s only class of 2023 offer thus far has been to a point guard, and that belongs to Lafayette, Ind. product Dra Gibbs-Lawhorn. Quickly rising up the charts is another Midwest floor general — Illinois native Jeremy Fears. 247Sports national writer Travis Branham reported earlier this week that Indiana is “highly interested” in the rapidly emerging Fears. The previous IU staff had some limited involvement, but now that has apparently…

After more than a year keeping an eye on Kyle Filipowski, Indiana extended a scholarship offer this week. Filipowski is a name we brought you last May, and now after his continued emergence and Indiana’s reconstruction of its coaching staff, the Hoosiers have decided to take things to the next level. The 6-foot-10 Filipowski announced the offer on his Twitter page. https://twitter.com/kylefilipowski/status/1387448756308742145?s=20 Filipowski attends the Wilbraham & Monson Academy in Massachusetts.

Indiana has placed a heavy emphasis on the frontcourt with its offers in the class of 2022, and one of the first in the class to hear from the Hoosiers was Chicago product A.J. Casey. Indiana offered Casey back in June of 2020, and since then assistant coach Kenya Hunter has transitioned to his primary point of contact. Casey is a 4-star according to the 247Sports Composite. In the class of 2022 he is currently ranked No. 21 nationally, the No. 5 power forward, and the No. 1 player in Illinois. Although he hasn’t cut his list in any way,…
With a change at the top, Indiana is understandably recalibrating everything within the program. When it comes to recruiting targets, that means taking a fresh look at who has been offered a scholarship to this point, as well assessing the top available prospects still on the board. With two new assistant coaches on the the staff in Yasir Rosemond and Dane Fife, IU now has connections it didn’t have, and in large part because of that we’ve seen a wave of class of 2022 offers over the last few weeks. With clear mutual interest when Archie Miller was still the…
If head coach Mike Woodson is serious about getting his offense moving downhill with velocity, he may have just found his man in class of 2022 point guard Seth Trimble. Trimble is off to a fast start playing AAU basketball this spring, and on Monday night he announced an offer from Indiana on his Twitter page. https://twitter.com/daily_hoosier/status/1386840747182276608?s=20 Trimble is currently ranked No. 78 overall in the class of 2022 according to the 247Sports Composite. He is the No. 14 point guard nationally in the class and the top player in Wisconsin according to that same service. He is the younger…
