Indiana Basketball: Hoosiers reach out to new 2020 four-star prospect

Another guard in the 2020 recruiting class has sparked the interest of the Indiana basketball program and has been in communication with the staff.

Despite being involved with nearly a dozen guards in the 2020 class, the Indiana basketball program continues to build their guard pool as they have reached out to another class of 2020 guard.

This time, Indiana turns their attention to one of the top point guards in the country Andre Curbelo. The Puerto Rican native put together another solid international showing for his country at the FIBA u19 World Cup, averaging 11.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 5.6 assists in the event.

One of the many teams that have reached out to Curbelo, Indiana has yet to offer the four-star guard but are in communication and interested.

It has been well known Indiana’s desire to load up on backcourt prospects in this class and especially ball handlers.

Curbelo recently spoke to 247Sports and touched on his role as a point guard.

"“I think the point guard’s job is to feed their guys, drive, make everybody collapse and then give it to the corner to the shooters, inside, and that’s just how I see the game. I don’t see it another way.”"

For now, Curbelo is taking his recruitment slow, but says when he gets back to New York in September, that he will begin to take visits and wants to ultimately commit before his senior season.

Interestingly enough, Curbelo plays his high school basketball for Long Island (N.Y.) Lutheran High, the same school that current Indiana guard Devonte Green spent his high school years at.

Curbelo is ranked No. 59 in the 2020 class in the 247Sports composite rankings.
