Big Ten Basketball: Analyzing each program’s 2020 recruiting classes

Indiana Hoosiers: No. 2 Big Ten, No. 15 Nation

Trey Galloway 6’4 / 200 SG:

His great size and the dependency The Culver Academies had on him to do everything resulted in the three-star recruit averaging 20.9 points, 5.2 assists, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.3 steals per game his senior year. His size and ball-handling capabilities will allow him to continue to have success in getting into a scoring position in the Big Ten. An Indiana native who can also use his size to post up guards was unable to do so because he was needed to be the primary ball-handler. Defending point guards off the switch is an area Coach Archie Miller will have to avoid putting Galloway in.

Anthony Leal 6’5 / 195 SG:

Another three-star shooting-guard staying in-state to play for Indiana Basketball. His preferred methods of scoring at Bloomington South were filling the lanes on fast breaks to finish with dunks and spot-up threes. When receiving a pass up top, his first move is a between the legs dribble to beat his man, and if the defender takes away the corner three he goes baseline. Either way, he is going to the basket and his not afraid of contact.

Jordan Geronimo 6’6 / 195 SF:

The best player, in not only the Big Ten but maybe the NCAA, to not make the RSCI top100 recruits final list in May, despite the fact that rivals.com currently has him at number 89 and 247sports places him at 95. If you play off the four-star guard he hits a three, if you defend too close he drives by you. More than ready to make an impact in the Big Ten, beyond finishing fast breaks with a dunk. Even as a small forward his defense beyond the three-point line is at a high level.

Khristian Lander 6’2 / 165 PG:

Coach Archie Miller’s third recruit from Indiana, who in May was only being recognized by rivals.com as a top 25 recruit, now that is the general consensus. His change of pace dribble gets the defender off balance every time he gets to the hoop. As a virtual one-man press break, there is no reason to apply full-court pressure as a lone defender. Once at the hoop his vertical allows him to finish with a dunk coming through a clear path, or to elude shot-blockers in the air for lay-ups. There is a very good chance the five-star Indiana born freshman starts at point guard by the time the Maui Invitational comes around Thanksgiving weekend-end.
