Small Forward – Victor Oladipo (2010-2013)

What was one of the biggest recruiting misses by every school in college basketball, Indiana was able to get a complete steal with Victor Oladipo in the 2010 recruiting class.

The now NBA All-Star, Oladipo had a very good career at Indiana averaging 10.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game in his 104 total games.

Playing on the same team at times with Cody Zeller, Christian Watford, Jordan Hulls, and Yogi Ferrell, Oladipo was never the first option on the floor, but was one of the most talented two-way players in the country.

Oladipo, who set an Indiana single-season steals record (78), was more than just a defensive stopper. The Maryland native molded himself into an extremely talented offensive player by the time his Indiana career was over as he shot 60 percent from the field during his junior campaign.

A First-Team All-Big Ten selection and the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year in his junior year, Oladipo”s play also earned him All-American honors as well.
