Indiana Basketball: Breaking down the 2019 Recruiting Class

Indiana basketball’s 2019 recruiting class will bring in another wave of promising in-state, homegrown talent and look to compete atop the Big Ten.

Coming off Archie Miller’s first recruiting class that was ranked tenth in the nation according to 247Sports, Indiana basketball brings in another quality class that looks to help compete atop the Big Ten.

Archie Miller has been able to recruit well in-state, headlined by being able to land Indiana’s Mr. Basketball, Trayce Jackson-Davis. This marks the second year in a row that Indiana’s Mr. Basketball has committed to play for the Hoosiers, as Romeo Langford highlighted Miller’s highly touted 2018 recruiting class.

Indiana was also able to land the player who came finished second in the Mr. Basketball race, 6-foot-4 shooting guard, Armaan Franklin, from Indianapolis who will add shooting to a team that desperately lacked it at times last season.

The final piece of the small 2019 recruiting class for the Hoosiers is graduate transfer Joey Brunk, a 6-foot-11 redshirt sophomore center at Butler. Indiana’s need for size was addressed through his acquisition, as the big man will have two years of eligibility remaining at Indiana, and will be able to play immediately.

Here’s an in-depth look at each recruit’s strengths, weaknesses, and what role we expect each of them to play next season.
