Here's an early look at players of interest for IU in the '23 class:

--Dra Gibbs-Lawhorn, 6'0" 165 lbs, Lafayette, IN.....#9/**
--Jalen Hooks, 6'7" 180 lbs, Franklin Central, IN......#40/
--Kwame Evans, 6'8" 180 lbs, Baltimore, MD............#5/
--Gus Yalden, 6'8" 240 lbs, Asheville, NC..................#15/
--Kanaan Carlyle, 6'0" 170 lbs, Alspharetta, GA.......#17/
--Rayvon Griffith, 6'4" 180 lbs, Cincy Taft, OH.........#23/
--Maki Johnson, 6'3" 165 lbs, Huntington, WV.........#34/
--Taylor Bol Bowen, 6'8" ??lbs, Newport, RI..............NA

247 has an early top 40 list out, and Daily Hoosier reports that IU is in contact with the guys listed above. So far, Gibbs-Lawhorn is the only offer for '23. He & Hooks are everyone's choices for top two in Indiana for '23. IU has connections with both. G-L is good friends with Rob P, and goes to his old HS. Hooks is good friends with Franklin & TJD and has some other IU connections as well. According to the DH, IU is working hard to be involved with Evans. And Yalden is the great-nephew of long time IU trustee Danny Danielson (sp?). 3 of his kids went to IU and know Yalden. Roberts is the lead recruiter here.

Other top prospects in the State appear to be the following (the level of IU interest is unknown):

--Xavier Booker, 6'9", Cathedral HS, Indy
--Ashton Williamson, 6'2", Calumet HS
--Nickens Lemba, 6'6", Southport HS
--Qushawn Ware, 6'5", Crispus Attacks HS
--JQ Roberts, 6'5", Bloomington North HS
--Darrion Brooks, 6'5", New Haven HS (brother of UK's Brooks, IU is in contact)

I'll update this as the recruiting progresses......

Added IU interest in Taylor Bol Bowen, a very skinny 6'8" kid from RI whose parents were Egyptian refug. from Egypt.
