Indiana Hoosiers

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Mike Woodson and the Indiana men's basketball team have been hard at work on the recruiting trail, and their efforts are evidenced by just how many high profile prospects the Hoosiers are in contention for.

247 Sports published its updated high school basketball recruiting rankings for the 2024 and 2025 classes on Wednesday, and debuted its class of 2026 rankings as well.

Here's where all of Woodson's recruiting targets for the Indiana men's basketball team rank in the classes of 2024, 2025 and 2026:

Class of 2024 Rankings for IU Recruiting Targets

No. 2 overall — Dylan Harper

Formerly the No. 1 overall recruit in the class of '24, Harper has been knocked down to the No. 2 spot following Cooper Flagg's decision to re-class so he can enter the 2025 NBA Draft.
Indiana is in Harper's top five, but seems highly unlikely to land the son of the NBA champion. Rutgers is the favorite to land him, while Duke and Kansas still have a good shot.

No. 12 overall — Derik Queen

One of three Montverde Academy basketball players who visited Bloomington this past weekend, and a player who has been covered extensively by HoosiersNow.com.

No. 13 overall — Asa Newell

Also a Montverde basketball player in the class of 2024, though unlike Queen, Liam McNeeley and Curtis Givens III, Newell did not visit IU during the weekend of the Indiana State game.
Along with the aforementioned Harper, Newell made the 2023 USA Men's U19 National Team.
Indiana and coach Woodson hosted an official visit for Newell back in October of 2022, which you can read about at this link here.

No. 15 overall — Liam McNeeley

The five-star prospect Indiana is most likely to land in the class of 2024 right now.
HoosiersNow.com conducted an exclusive, one-on-one interview with McNeeley in August. You can find that interview here at this link.
HoosiersNow.com also wrote an in-depth scouting report on the versatile forward from Montverde, who is one of the best shooting prospects in recent high school basketball history. You can read that story at this link here.

Class of 2026 Rankings for IU Recruiting Targets

247 Sports just published its first top 60 rankings for the class of 2026. Given that the following guys are still sophomores in high school, there's understandably not much public information on who has most fervently recruited them, and which ways they might be leaning.

Still, these are the four recruiting targets in the class of '26 where at least some small connection to IU has been made.

No. 2 overall — Tyran Stokes

As is the case for any superstar, top of the class five-star prospect nowadays, Woodson and Indiana have been at his games and showing interest.

6’8” eventual ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tyran Stokes’26 @tyran_stokes of @ProlificPrep has earned offers from
Alabama, LSU, Louisville, Xavier, Charleston, Texas A&M, & Arizona State with Indiana showing significant early interest.
