Indiana Basketball: Five in-state players Indiana should try to land in the class of 2018
By Michael Foy
5. Musa Jallow 6-5 SF
Jallow is a four-star from Bloomington and is an extremely interesting prospect for the Hoosiers. Jallow seems to fill up the stat sheet, something Indiana fans would love to see. He has the body to be a great defender and averaged 24.1 ppg, 9.5 rpg, 3.0 apg, 2.0 spg, and 1.0 bpg as a junior. He seems to epitomize the style of basketball that Archie Miller and Indiana want to be.
Purdue is trying to nab the Bloomington North prospect right from IU’s backyard. If this were to happen, the Indiana faithful will be heard from all around the state. Archie Miller doesn’t need to land this recruit. But, if IU doesn’t land him, fans may be angrier than they would be happy if the Hoosiers actually did get him.
The very idea of losing a recruit from Bloomington to Purdue would really start Miller off on the wrong foot.
