Indiana men’s basketball: December recruiting notes:

How are the Hoosiers shaping up in the upcoming classes?

With the holidays in the rearview mirror and multiple commits signed, you may be inclined to look toward 2025 when it comes to recruiting updates.

But there’s enough reason to believe that Indiana, one way or another, isn’t done with the 2024 class just yet. For now the Hoosiers have one signee, Liam McNeeley, whose signature represented a win for the program when it comes to long-term high profile prospects.

Oh and his fit on the floor. That too. We’ll talk a bit about 2025, but don’t leave the incoming class in the rearview mirror just yet.

What sticks out about both classes? Outside shooting. Indiana is actively looking for a fix to the problem it’s had for what now feels like ten years. You should take that as good news. It’s not like the staff is standing pat on this issue.

Class of 2024

Watching Indiana play this year makes it entirely clear how McNeeley would fit in Bloomington: like a glove.

And no I don’t just mean the outside shooting, but that’s obviously a huge plus. McNeeley is an all-around playmaker who should instantly start at the wing as a freshman next season.

He has the basketball IQ, same as guys like Xavier Johnson, Trayce Jackson-Davis and Gabe Cupps. But that comes with the handle, size and passing ability to make things happen on the court.
