The recruitment of Clemson transfer guard Alex Hemenway is beginning to take shape.
According to a report by the 247Sports Maryland site, Hemenway will visit Vanderbilt this weekend, and he’s also planning to see three Big Ten schools — IU, Rutgers and Maryland. These are the same three schools outlined in a report by the Rutgers 247Sports site over the weekend.
Brandon Jenkins of 247Sports said Thursday afternoon on X the Indiana visit is expected to take place on May 14, while Maryland should happen on May 9.
Hemenway said in the Maryland 247 report he’d like to make a decision in the next few weeks. He acknowledged IU carries extra significance as an Indiana native.
“Oh yeah. Yes sir. Growing up in Indiana, every kid dreams of being a Hoosier. But you’ve got to overlook that and make an [analytical] decision,” he said.
A Newburgh, Ind. product, Hemenway was with Clemson since the beginning of the 2019-20 season. Over the course of five seasons, he averaged 5.3 points and made 25 starts in 95 appearances.
The 6-foot-4 guard is best known for his ability from beyond the arc, shooting 42.9% from 3-point range throughout his career with the Tigers. He shot better than 40% from three in four of five seasons, and made better than 47% in two seasons. 289 of his 370 career field goal attempts have come from beyond the arc.
Indiana currently has two open roster spots for the 2024-25 season.
On Thursday we learned one player who won’t be joining the Hoosiers.
Florida Gulf Coast forward Zach Anderson announced on Thursday he has committed to George Mason.
Anderson visited IU in April and appeared to be a good fit. But the Hoosiers were recruiting Luke Goode at the same time, and it was unlikely they would land both players.
