Lamar Wilkerson Commits to Indiana Basketball

Lamar Wilkerson, a highly sought-after guard from Sam Houston State, has committed to Indiana University, choosing the Hoosiers over offers from Kentucky, Auburn, and Ole Miss. The 6-foot-5 player averaged 20.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game during his last season, showcasing impressive shooting skills with a 44.5% success rate from three-point range. Wilkerson expressed that Indiana made him feel like a priority in the recruiting process, which played a significant role in his decision. As a first-team All-Conference USA performer, he ranked among the top ten nationally for both three-pointers made per game and overall shooting accuracy. His addition to Indiana's roster, which includes other talented transfers, is seen as a crucial step in building a competitive team under new head coach Darian DeVries. With one year of eligibility remaining, Wilkerson aims to make a significant impact in Bloomington and help restore Indiana basketball's prominence.
