Indiana Basketball: Where future Hoosiers land in new 247Sports rankings
By Alec Lasley
Take a look to see where Indiana basketball signees and targets landed in the updated 247Sports player rankings.
A couple of weeks after ESPN updated their rankings, 247Sports has done the same with some movement with the Indiana basketball signees and targets.
First, Trayce Jackson-Davis, who was just named Indiana’s Mr. Basketball, dropped from a five-star to a four-star recruit in the new rankings. Formerly ranked No. 16 in the rankings, Jackson-Davis now checks in at No. 27, four spots removed from a five-star ranking, though still a five-star in the composite rankings.
The McDonald’s All American and Jordan Brand All-Star heads into his freshman season as the highest ranked Big Ten player in the 2019 class.
Fellow Indiana signee, Armaan Franklin saw his ranking jump up. Now a four-star, Franklin jumped from No. 172 on the list to No. 128, one of the biggest risers in the class.
A finalist for Indiana Mr. Basketball, Franklin enters the Indiana basketball program as someone fans expect to contribute right away and grow into a huge contributor throughout his four seasons in Bloomington.
With the updated rankings, the Hoosiers class moved from No. 50 to No. 47.
In the final two for four-star guard Lester Quinones, announcing on Friday, he saw another big increase as his ranking went from No. 80 to No. 49. If he were to commit to the Hoosiers, their class rankings would move to No. 18 in the country.
With Jackson-Davis and Armaan Franklin, Indiana also received a commitment from Butler graduate transfer, Joey Brunk, who will have two years of eligibility remaining.
