Indiana Basketball: Recruiting analyst talks Indiana’s possible 2020 class

The Indiana basketball program is involved with multiple top 2020 recruits and one recruiting analyst gives his take on who they could land.

Archie Miller and the rest of the Indiana basketball staff have had a very busy spring and early summer on the recruiting trail trying to position themselves nicely for multiple 2020 commits.

Though the in-state talent in the 2020 class is not stacked with star power, as it has recently, Indiana does sit nicely when it comes to two talented guards.

We recently broke down how Indiana has recently picked up multiple Crystal Ball picks for 2020 guard Trey Galloway and Rivals recruiting analyst Corey Evans thinks Galloway will end up in Bloomington and even saying that the Hoosiers are in good shape with the top in-state talent, Anthony Leal.

"“I am fairly confident that Galloway will be a Hoosier and do not believe that Leal is out of Indiana’s grasp, either, though the former will commit first.”"

Evans also went into detail regarding forward Matt Cross’ recruitment.

"“The four-star forward just visited IU and also has taken official visits to Butler, Miami and South Carolina. While he has yet to narrow his school list, Cross has never been a giant fan of the recruiting process and could come to a decision before doing as such. The Hoosiers are in a good spot, but a true leader still has yet to emerge.”"

Cross is a hybrid forward who can play either the three or the four in Indiana’s offense, and his ability to shoot the ball would greatly help stretch the Hoosiers offense.

While Indiana has been heavy on the guards in the 2020 class, there is a definite need for forwards, as they will lose De’Ron Davis and the possibility of Trayce Jackson-Davis as well, if he has a breakthrough freshman season. Furthermore, Justin Smith and Joey Brunk will have just one year left, leaving a big hole to fill.

Overall, Evans mentioned that the Indiana roster is in good shape moving forward, incase they don’t make a huge splash in the 2020 class.

"“Indiana does not need a whole lot, thanks to its prior classes, but look for the Hoosiers to exhaust every avenue before moving on to the 2021 class.”"

While Indiana doesn’t need much in the 2020 class, the 2021 class is a much different story as it has a chance to go down as one of the most talented classes in state history.
