When there's a stand-alone IndyStar article about a recruit signing with Indiana State, you know the player has got to be pretty damn good.

Love the addition!

Great news. Love the addition.

Side Note - I hope this helps sway's Justin Curry's decision to come here since they both took unofficial visit together. Plus the play on same AAU team.

Seems like a pretty obvious decision for him... I'm sure we threw him a little NIL, we don't have a single player on next years roster 6'7 or over that isn't a Center so he fills an immediate need in the depth chart. The potential to make an immediate impact puts him closer to an NIL money grab. It makes sense for these fringe high major players to find a good mid that is close to home that will allow them to get maximum exposure
