Jalen Bridges (SF; Fairmont)

Two months ago, Jalen Bridges would have been considered the lowest on the totem pole in the rankings of Indiana’s targets. Now, he has played his way into the top 100 players in the class and appears to be there to stay.

Bridges is a 6-foot-7 small forward from West Virginia, and has offers from all over the country. However, it appears as though the Midwest is most interested in his service with Indiana, Marquette, Xavier, and Ohio State all being high on his list.

He also said he wants to take an official visit to Alabama, who just offered him recently, as well as try to get to Bloomington.

Bridges would be a welcomed sight for Indiana as they have very few true small forward type players on the roster.

While it should be a while still before Bridges makes a decision, I think he chooses to stay a little closer to home to build something at a program that has new life.

Prediction: Alabama
