‘I think he would definitely consider them’: Why Indiana could be in the mix for Hunter Sillas despite a late recruitment

On Aug. 23, five-star combo guard Hunter Sallis announced his top 12 schools on social media. Michigan, Kentucky, Oregon, North Carolina, Kansas and Gonzaga were all among the universities eager to sign the 2021 prospect from Millard North High School in Omaha, Nebraska.

Five days later, Indiana extended a scholarship offer to Sillas despite not having any prior involvement in his recruitment. Even in such a quick development, it left Sillas’ high school coach Tim Cannon saying: “I think he would definitely consider them.”

What changed?

Indiana hired Kenya Hunter to the coaching staff.
