Last week brought the news of Jerome Hunter leaving the Indiana program, giving Indiana one more open scholarship. That didn't take long to fill as USF transfer Michael Durr committed to Indiana shortly after.
Durr averaged 8.8 points and 7.9 rebounds per game last season and will have two years of eligibility remaining. He was officially announced as part of the IU program earlier on Friday.
"Michael will add a tremendous physical presence to our team," noted Woodson. "He's a veteran player who has started more than 80 games at the Division I level. I think he has shown he is an excellent rebounder, his free throw shooting is markedly improved and he can help us offensively and defensively down low. He's a true center who will make us better."
With that, all scholarships are filled at 13.
Looking ahead to the summer, coaches can finally get back out on the road and watch prospects live starting June 1. Starting June 15, coaches can start to contact class of 2023 prospects directly. Right now it has to go through a coach or parent.
With that, June will be a very busy month. Below are the visits that TheHoosier.com has been able to confirm through the player, coach, family member or source.

June 9 - Class of 2023 point guard Jeremy Fears
June 10 - Class of 2022 power forward Kaleb Banks

*Class of 2022 five-star forward Jalen Washington is in the process of putting together visits. Indiana is expected to be on the list of visits this June.
**Some other names to keep an eye on for potential visits are class of 2022 four-star wing Julian Phillips and class of 2022 four-star guard Seth Trimble. A small note on Trimble, he was offered by North Carolina this week, the same program where his brother, JP Tokoto played.

Class of 2022's Kyle Filipowski and Justin Taylor will be on campus at the same time, proving to be a huge weekend for Indiana. Both have strong impressions of Indiana.
Justin Taylor: "Obviously, I was super ecstatic getting the offer, just knowing the type of rich basketball history and culture they have there"
Here is a list of Taylor's official visits:
North Carolina: June 5-6
Syracuse: June 9-10
Indiana: June 15-16
Justin Taylor's lead recruiter is Kenya Hunter and the two of them have a very strong relationship.
Indiana, Syracuse and North Carolina are the main group. North Carolina was in a very good spot before Roy Williams retired, per sources. But, because of that shakeup, it is very much anyone's game.

Kyle Filipowski: "Having the experience of playing at Indiana and playing and coaching at the highest level professionally (is very interesting). I'm going to be watching very closely to see how he does at Indiana this year. He said he is going to run Indiana like an NBA team and that is something to look for and caught my attention."
Here is a list of Filipowski's visits:
Syracuse: June 5-6
Ohio State: June 12-13
Indiana: June 15-16
Iowa: June 17-18
Duke: June 28-29
Kyle Filipowski's lead recruiter is Dane Fife, a relationship that started when Fife was at Michigan State.
Indiana, Duke, Syracuse and Ohio State are the main group, although Duke has yet to extend an official offer.

Of the class fo 2023 recruits to schedule visits with Indiana, the one that sticks out is Jeremey Fears. The La Lumiere point guard is an elite prospect in the class and holds offers from Gonzaga, Auburn, Illinois, Maryland, Iowa, Creighton amongst others. UCLA, Michigan, Florida State, Notre Dame and Kentucky are some of the new programs to reach out.
He is very high on Indiana to start out in his recruitment.
Fears on his visit: "I can’t wait to check out Indiana."
Fears on Indiana: "History (stands out). I also know the environment and atmosphere is crazy. Academics is good and they love basketball."
Here is a list of Fears' visits:
Illinois: June 1
Auburn: June 4
Indiana: June 9
Gonzaga: Mid-June
Dane Fife is the lead recruiter for Fears.
