Indiana goes again to again in five-star recruiting territory. Mike Woodson and the Hoosiers gained a dedication from 2024 small ahead Liam McNeeley on Sunday. McNeeley, the No. 15 participant within the magnificence in step with the 247Sports rankings, selected the Hoosiers over Kansas on the Top Flight Invite and launched a dedication video on his Instagram account.

Prior to slicing his checklist to the Hoosiers and the Jayhawks, McNeeley had a last six of Indiana, Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama and Michigan. You can view the dedication video beneath: 

Woodson then wasted no time celebrating the dedication. McNeeley is Indiana’s first 2024 commit. In May, Indiana reeled in 2023 five-star energy ahead Mackenzie Mgbako, making this the first time within the 247Sports generation (since 2000) that the Hoosiers have signed a five-star recruit in consecutive categories, consistent with 247Sports’ ratings.

247Sports’ scouting record states McNeeley “has one of the best combinations of skill and basketball acumen in the national class. He came up the ranks known as a shooter – and for good reason as he has clean mechanics, a compact release, and shot over 40% from behind the three-point line in both the NIBC and EYBL seasons – but he’s far more versatile than just a specialist. He’s particularly adept at coming off screens, making instinctual reads, and then attacking defenders while they are on the move. That can mean movement threes, but it can also mean curls, dribble penetration, and an ability to get downhill at times.”

McNeeley is the 5th five-star commit for the Hoosiers since 2000, becoming a member of Mgbako, Romeo Langford (2018), Noah Vonleh (2013) and Cody Zeller (2011).
