Indiana men’s basketball may be looking to add onto its signing group in the class of 2026, which is already three players strong.
Ladarius Given, a power forward out of Petersburg High School in Petersburg, Virginia who is originally from Alabama, has revealed the top six programs he’s considering after decommitting from Mississippi State in January. Sam Kayser of League Ready has the list:
Indiana’s in it alongside LSU, Mississippi State (again), Seton Hall, NC State and UCF. Interesting to see Will Wade’s former and current stops here, but I disgress.
If the early returns on Indiana’s high school recruiting under Darian DeVries show anything it’s that the program could use more punch in the frontcourt. DeVries retained a true frontcourt player when Trent Sisley remained signed during the coaching transition, but hasn’t signed one as head coach otherwise. The current 2026 group is made up of two wings in Vaughn Karvala and Trevor Manhertz and a guard in Prince-Alexander Moody.
Getting in on Givan’s recruitment could be a way to add that first frontcourt piece.
