Indiana is in the running to add another freshman to the 2026-27 squad.
The Hoosiers are one of six finalists for 6-foot-9 and 205-pound forward Ladarius Givan. A former Mississippi State commit, Givan reopened his recruitment in January.
Givan’s final six schools are Indiana, LSU, Seton Hall, Mississippi State, NC State and UCF, Sam Kayser of League Ready is reporting.
Kayser said on X Givan begins a visit to UCF today and plans to head to Indiana and potentially Seton Hall next.
Givan initially committed to Mississippi State as a sophomore. He opted to not sign with the Bulldogs in the November period and then decommitted in January. Indiana offered soon after the decommitment.
Givan attends Petersburg H.S. (Petersburg, Va.). He is a native of Montgomery, Ala. Givan helped Petersburg win the state championship this spring. For his senior year, Givan averaged 15.5 points and 12.1 boards a game and shot over 60% from the field and 72% at the foul line. He made 11 of 40 (28%) from three.
Givan has a 4-star ranking at ESPN. He’s a 3-star in the industry average, and the No. 28 power forward and No. 201 player overall.
Givan is No. 21 for Team Loaded (Adidas 3SSB) in the below highlight reel.
