No. 1: Sean May (2002)

What. A. Miss. This should have been a done deal without any decision to be made.

Not only did May have the ties living in Bloomington, playing for Bloomington North HS, he also was teammates at one point with Indiana commit Jared Jeffries.

That should be enough for most recruits to stay home, right? Well there’s more.

His brother Scott May Jr was on the National Championship runner up team in 2002 as well.

There’s still more.

His dad, Scott May, was the Naismith Player of the Year on Indiana’s 1975-1976 undefeated National Championship team.

How did the Hoosiers miss this one.

May went on to choose North Carolina and win a National Championship himself, averaging 15.8 points and 10.0 rebounds per game in his three seasons in Chapel Hill.
