BLOOMINGTON – Mike Woodson had a good day Monday.
IU’s coach landed a spring commitment from five-star forward Malik Reneau, a one-time Florida signee and Montverde Academy teammate of fellow five-star (and incoming IU signee) Jalen Hood-Schifino. Joining Hood-Schifino, CJ Gunn and Kaleb Banks, Reneau gives Woodson the Big Ten’s highest-rated 2022 class, per the 247Sports Composite.
He’s also the third player that metric ranked No. 30 or better to commit to IU in the 13 months Woodson has been in charge, a pretty direct rebuttal to questions about Woodson’s recruiting capacity when he was pulled from a decades-long NBA career to lead his alma mater last year.
