Indiana basketball fans received a bolt of adrenaline yesterday when it was announced that Khristian Lander would reclassify to the class of 2020.
Lander, the former number one point guard in the class of 2021, is now the 17th best player in the class of 2020 and the number five point guard. His commitment boosted Indiana’s team recruiting class ranking up to 13th — second in the Big Ten behind Michigan (12th).
So now what? Well, while some people may be rubbing their hands together and chuckling to themselves with the assumption that Indiana has now returned to its blue blood status, that isn’t quite reality.
