TRAYCE JACKSON-DAVIS
- While widely viewed as headed to Indiana, he continues to say in interviews that he is going through the process and will take multiple visits. It appears that it will at least be a couple months before he announces anything beyond possible list cuts.
- He is showing a knack for making clutch shots. For the second EYBL session in a row he hit a game winner.
- He indicated over the weekend that Georgia was contacting him. This should come as no surprise as Tom Crean likely had relationships here prior to being fired.
TRENDON WATFORD
- There was a lot of commentary over the weekend of an evolving game.
KEION BROOKS, JR.
- We covered his interview over the weekend where he discusses Kentucky’s strong interest, as well as a likely Hoosier Hysteria visit this fall.
- Brooks averaged 26 points per game over the weekend and was widely regarded as one of the best players once again.
KIRA LEWIS
- If you haven’t watched video of Lewis yet, he is one to watch for sure. He brings defense, speed, and especially a level of intensity that Indiana was sorely lacking last year. Click on his name to see our coverage. The story that discusses Indiana offering him includes video.
- Based on this interview, he is also a high character guy as well.
- Lewis is one of the rising stars on the circuit and is starting to get interest from the blue bloods.
JAHMIUS RAMSEY
- You can see a fun side of him in this interview.
- Here is a profile and interview that emerged over the weekend.
ISAIAH STEWART
- Several outlets highlighted his rebounding prowess.
- You can watch an interview with him over the weekend here, where he discusses cutting his list down.
- At least one report indicated that he may not be as focused on Duke as originally thought.
TRE MANN
- He didn’t officially trim his list down to three, but Mann did indicate over the weekend that Kansas, Florida and Tennessee are his top three right now. Not looking promising for IU.
JALEN LECQUE
- Lecque is still evaluating whether to reclassify into 2018.
ARMAAN FRANKLIN
