Q & A: Khristian Lander talks commitment to IU, reclassifying to 2020, playing with Trayce Jackson-Davis and more

EVANSVILLE – Evansville Reitz point guard Khristian Lander became the latest highly-ranked recruit from the state of Indiana to stay home for college when he announced his commitment to the Indiana program on Tuesday.

Currently listed as the top-ranked point guard in the country in the class of 2021, there has been plenty of talk about Lander reclassifying into the class of 2020, as well as general discussion about what he can bring to the Hoosiers and why Archie Miller’s recruiting pitch worked.

Inside The Hall spoke with Lander following Reitz’s 71-70 loss to city rival Evansville Bosse, a game Lander scored 34 points in, to talk about his college decision, the way Lander could integrate himself into IU’s offense and his preference for either staying in the class of 2021 or reclassifying to the class of 2020.
