IUskim Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 22 minutes ago, 5fouls said: Lander not on the 2021 Indiana Elite Roster I saw earlier this week. If you recall, he played up a class with the 2020 Indiana Elite team last year. Is this a sign of a potential reclass? Has another shoe company pried him away from Adidas? (which would be bad for Indiana) Yes. I think I read somewhere he’s playing on the eybl circuit this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU4Ever Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Per the Indy Heat twitter account, Lander will play for them on the Nike circuit along with Caleb Furst and Blake Wesley. Among others on this team are Blake Sisley, Luke Goode, and Jeremy Sochan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spin Zone for those worrying about Lander or others going from Adidas to Nike AAU team, TJD was on the Nike sponsored Indy Heat last year and we still got him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocHoosier Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Is there a more overrated aspect in recruiting than the shoe brand affiliation of the AAU team of said player?? So many examples. Most recently: Zion Williamson. AAU=Adidas, College=Nike, Pro=Jordan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 For as good as the 2021 class is, the 2022 class looks really interesting too. Love what I’m hearing about Smith. I’m looking forward to watching him develop. When people compare IU hoops to certain football schools like Nebraska, the big difference is the unending pool of local talent in-state.

IUwins0708 Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 I was told today that Lander is STRONGLY considering a reclass and if he does then it will be at IU. I don’t like it because I don’t think Lander is ready. We will see what happens. Stay tuned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might not be but IU could use his basketball skill at the guard spots even if he physically isn’t ready. Not to mention he has chemistry with Leal and Galloway already.

5fouls Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 The thing with Lander is that Reitz just is not a very good team. If he will be academically ready to reclass, I see an advantage for him to do so. A year in IU's program will help him develop more than another year at Reitz. I expect his class ranking in both 247 and Rivals will be going down with the next updates. The part I worry about would be if he can mentally accept playing a reserve role (I think he would be a less than 20 minute a game guy as a freshman).

hoosier_exotics Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 #1 pg in 2021... i dont care if he moves up a year or not, he can do more with the ball than any current guard we have. He plays early and often in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn’t he give us 15 mins a game and be that extra ball handler down the stretch or do you think he will expect to start and play major minutes and won’t be ready physically to do that?

I think he absolutely could give us those minutes. He’s a 5 star and they usually want to be in the spotlight. We will see how it pans out.
