As it stands right now, Indiana's class of 2023 is coming down to top-50 forward Arrinten Page, who visited Indiana a few weeks ago. Page told TheHoosier.com last week that his Miami (Fla.) official visit is still on so that is something to monitor there. He said it was scheduled for Aug. 25-27.

NIL could play a factor in Page's decision but from what we hear it may not be a top priority in terms of it being a top key factor. Indiana still sits in a great spot and has checked up off multiple boxes.

He has also visited Missouri, Cincinnati, and USC up to this point.


Here are some of our scouting notes plus scouting video of Page:

"Page shows versatility to play inside and out. He has a terrific motor and that's what allows him go be so productive. With so many ball handlers and shot-happy guards on his team, very few offensive possessions run through Page unless its a pick and pop or roll. Whether it's running the court for easy buckets in transition, offensive rebounds or in the PnR game, Page is very effective when he gets looks at the rim. He is a powerful low post player but also excels on rebound putbacks."

Indiana is really starting to pick up steam in terms of recruiting the 2024 class.

As it stands right now, players like Players like Liam McNeeley, Derik Queen, Jaeden Mustaf, Asa Newell, Jonathan Powell, Kanon Catchings, William Jobe are all players who have already visited Indiana, have a junior year official visit scheduled or are expected to visit this fall. They seem to be at the top tier target group for the Indiana staff right now.

Another player that is in that top tier is 2024 power forward Raleigh Burgess, who has confirmed with TheHoosier.com that he is on an unofficial visit to Indian this weekend. This will be Burguess's second unofficial visit at Indiana as he took his first one in early June. He is currently on campus.

The main schools for Burgess right now include Indiana, Purdue, Cincinatti, Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio State, and Xavier.

TheHoosier.com has seen Burguess multiple times this summer with him playing on the very talented Indiana Elite 16u squad which also features other 2024 target Flory Bidunga.

Below are scouting notes from what we have seen and what he said about Indiana offer recently:

"Standing at 6-foot-10, Burgess is a center that has incredible movement and real solid footwork. Pretty versatile big that can do a little bit of everything. He can score from multiple levels and is a little bit crafty for his size. Although he can score from the outside, he is at his best around the basket where he can use his strength and physical play to get at the rim. He also proved to be a consistent force on the defensive end with his shot blocking ability. For a big, he has some real solid court vision and made a few sharp passes to his teammates."

The 2025 recruiting class is starting to pick up steam as well.

The top news to come out of the 2025 group this past week is that elite in-state prospects Trent Sisley and Jalen Haralson have scheduled two more return visits to Indiana.

Those next two visits are scheduled for Hoosier Hysteria on Oct. 7 and also on Nov. 30 for Indiana's game against preseason No. 1 North Carolina for the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. They both took a visit to Indiana couple of weeks ago. Indiana sits in a very good spot for them both.

2025 small forward Bryson Tiller is also starting to become a high priority target for Indiana. He recently participated in the UA Elite 24 game in Chicago.

Tiller transferred to Overtime Elite this summer but is originally from Georgia. He played for the same

2025 guard/forward EJ Walker is a new name that has popped up recently as of late. He is based out of Erlanger, KY.

Walker is in the process of setting up visits to Indiana, he tells TheHoosier.com.

Right now has visits set up with Purdue (8/27), Ohio State (9/10), West Virginia (9/17), Illinois State (10/7), and Illinois (10/8).

He currently holds offers from Youngstown, Duquense, NKU, Ohio, Toledo, and Stoneybrook.

Walker has had multiple conversations with Indiana this week.

Walker on his game: “One word to describe my game is versatility. Creating for others and making everybody around me better and doing whatever it takes to win is how I play. I’m a three level scorer that loves to rebound and guard multiple positions.”
