Boateng is a 6-foot-5, 205-pound prospect from Little Rock, Ark., and is the 38th overall-ranked prospect in the class of 2024, according to 247 Sports. Indiana does not yet have a commit in the class of 2024, but is pursuing multiple 2024 five-star and four-star prospects, such as Liam McNeeley, Boogie Fland, Patrick Ngongba II and Austin Swartz. 

The four-star wing plays for Little Rock Central High School and Team Griffin on the AAU circuit, and excels as a downhill driver and at-the-rim finisher. 

"Definitely getting to the rim and using my athleticism," Boateng told Pro Insight in a Q&A back in 2021, describing what he could bring to a college team at the next level. "I am able to rise up above people and finish strongly at the rim. That would probably be my greatest strength."

Additionally, when describing his ideal college fit to Pro Insight back in 2021, Boateng said that academics would play a major role in his decision. 

"Overall, first I am looking for good academics, because you know, what if basketball doesn’t work out even if it is my goal?" said Boateng. "But also, I want to see how willing they are to invest in getting me to the next level and help me to possibly go pro. I want a good relationship and stuff like that."

With Indiana's rich basketball history and well-regarded academics, the Hoosiers should stay in strong contention for the four-star forward.
