Since there aren’t any spring recruiting evaluation periods to wait on, it is time to go ahead and take a closer look at Indiana’s top targets on its class of 2021 recruiting board with an eye towards who might land in Bloomington.

With Al Durham and Joey Brunk set to graduate after the 2020-21 season, the Hoosiers should have at least three openings to fill in the class. But obviously a lively transfer market makes that a fluid situation, and the potential for a player like Trayce Jackson-Davis to leave early for the NBA also looms.

With so much of Indiana’s front court going out the door in a year, obviously replenishing there is a priority. Today we take our first look at the class of 2021 in order of likelihood of an Indiana commitment. This board will be maintained on our recruiting drop down menu and updated periodically.
