Indiana Basketball: Hoosiers trying to get official visit from 2020 guard
By Alec Lasley
The Indiana basketball staff is working hard to secure a visit from one of their top targets in the 2020 recruiting class.
It is the second live evaluation period in June and the Indiana basketball staff is on the road once again visiting some of their top targets in the 2020 class, despite being shorthanded after the departure of assistant coach Ed Schilling.
One of the main prospects that the staff has put an emphasis on is four-star guard R.J. Davis of Archbishop Stepinac (White Plains, NY). Not only was Indiana assistant Bruiser Flint in the crowd to watch Davis on Friday, but Archie Miller is set to visit the 2020 guard on Sunday as well, at the New York City Catholic League Team Camp
Davis recently took his first official visit to Georgetown this past week and has no other visits planned as of now, but Indiana remains one of the programs in the mix.
Speaking with Adam Zagoria, Davis touched on his recent communication with Indiana.
"“They’re trying to get me down to campus. They love my game as well as the other coaches recruiting me. They just love the way I run the show and play both sides.”"
The New York native has been the biggest riser in the recruiting ranks over the last three months and some of the Blue Bloods have taken notice.
Both North Carolina and Kansas were part of some 90 coaches in the gym on Friday night and have been in communication with Davis, but yet to offer. Despite that, they both could play a role in Davis’ recruitment moving forward.
"“It would be a good opportunity,” he said. “I’m still reviewing my options as far as recruiting.”"
In addition to Georgetown and Indiana, Davis also has Marquette, Pitt, and UCLA amongst other who have offered and are competing to get a visit.
