Four-star guard Chase Branham has signed his letter of intent with IU basketball, the program announced on Wednesday.
Branham becomes the 10th-highest ranked Hoosier recruit in the 247Sports era.
“Chase is a dynamic playmaker that is effective at all three levels,” IU coach Darian DeVries said of Branham in a release. “Because of his work ethic and love for the game, he continues to push himself to new levels and has developed multi-dimensional skills. As good of a player that Chase is, he is an even better person and exemplifies all the attributes that we want our program to be about. It is exciting that Chase is officially a Hoosier and we cannot wait for him to get to Bloomington.”
