Leal Picks Up Another Major Offer
One of the best players in the state continues to gain national traction as Bloomington South’s Anthony Leal lands another Power 5 offer from Stanford. The Cardinals join Maryland, Iowa, and Xavier as his major offers to date.
He’s had Bradley, Xavier, Evansville, and Indiana to see him already this season and in one performance against Bedford North Lawrence, he put up 25 points going 3/5 from deep and 7/10 from the field. He’s really shown himself to be a big time producer and could be ready to break out this season with his Bloomington South team.
After starting off 0-2, Leal and South are now back on track beating Bedford North Lawrence and Southport getting back to .500.
Khristian Lands Another
Coming off a strong 3-1 start to the season, Evansville Reitz is looking as good as advertised and their star sophomore Khristian Lander is drawing even more attention. On their off day on Tuesday, Kansas State offered the 6’1 lead guard from the Pocket.
He’s one of the hottest commodities so far in this 2021 class for the Midwest now having offers from Illinois, IUPUI, Purdue, Indiana, Iowa, Ohio State, Kansas, and now Kansas State. Things have yet to slow down and he’s been solid in his games this season and gets some marquee games coming up with Castle and University Heights (KY) this weekend.
Skaggs Lands Pair Of Offers
For those at the non-DI level, the one player making waves during the season so far is Logansport (IN) guard Sam Skaggs. The 6’0 scorer already had offers from Pikeville and Tiffin and just picked up a pair of offers from Indiana Tech and Saint Francis.
Skaggs has shown himself as one of the better scorers in the state and one of the few that can go off for massive games along with showing consistency. Now, with four offers in hand, he’s solidified his level and still has some big games coming up with Lafayette Jeff this week.
Quick Hitters:
**Purdue and Notre Dame were in to watch the Mishawaka Marian vs. Culver Academies game this Tuesday as Jaden Ivey and Trey Galloway went against each other. Both head coaches were there and both have been recruiting Ivey and Galloway for some time.
**2019 guard Jalen Jennings of South Bend Riley (IN) has committed to Marian University for football. It was likely he would end up going that direction with a majority of his interesting coming from that side.
**2019 wing Peyton Meadors of Mt. Vernon-Fortville (IN) picked up an offer from Silver Lake College (WI). They join Earlham and Mt. St. Joseph as his offers to this point.
