Mike Woodson and the Hoosiers should target these Kentucky players, with John Calipari off to Arkansas.
Two of the players Indiana should take a look at are already in the transfer portal.

Yesterday, John Calipari rocked the college basketball world and announced via Instagram that he was officially leaving the University of Kentucky for the University of Arkansas.
The move allows "Coach Cal" to reset his clock and proves Arkansas' commitment to being a player in college basketball. With moves like this, however, players enter the transfer portal.
The Hoosiers have needs and the requisite scholarships to fill those needs. Here is a "wish list" of players Indiana should target if they are available- two of them are already available.
Aaron Bradshaw: Center
Bradshaw did not play much as a true freshman, averaging 4.9 points and 3.3 rebounds in about 13 minutes of action. He was expected to be a one-and-done and in the NBA. That did not happen, however. That sounds a lot like Kal'el Ware. If the staff did it once, they could do it again.
Adou Thiero: Combo Guard
Indiana needs guards, specifically proficient shooters. Combo guard Adou Thiero could fit that bill. While he isn't a shooter, Adou can shoot from the outside and get to the basket. Thiero, like Aaron Bradshaw is already in the transfer portal.
Reed Sheppard: Point Guard
The player they should covet most is the player least likely to leave. Reed Sheppard is a Kentucky native and is unlikely to leave Lexington. A London, Kentucky native, the sophomore guard grew up a little over an hour south of the UK campus. However, he's a pure shooter and great ball distributor, two things the Hoosiers desperately need.
