Indiana Hoosiers

Indiana, much like Illinois, has had some recent disappointing seasons under former head coach Tom Crean. Archie Miller, the former Dayton head man, is the new coach, and he is pulling in quite a class that should return Indiana back to their rightful place on top of the league standings.

SF Justin Smith – Lincolnshire, IL

Rated ∗∗∗∗ and #76 on 247Sports

Justin Smith is an extremely athletic player who will have no problem playing on the wing or inside as the power forward.   He is not the greatest shooter and that will need to improve, but what he lacks in shooting he makes up for by seemingly always being in the right place and making the right play at the right time.
