Class of 2023 Roselle Catholic (N.J.) forward Mackenzie Mgbako committed to Indiana on Friday evening.
Mgbako, who originally signed with Duke last fall, reopened his recruitment in April. He visited St. John’s, Kansas and Indiana before choosing the Hoosiers. Mgbako also considered Louisville but did not visit the Cardinals.
The 6-foot-8 forward is the No. 8 player in the 2023 class, according to the 247Composite.
His national ranking makes him the highest-ranked high school recruit to commit to the program under Mike Woodson, who is entering his third season in Bloomington.
According to the RSCI rankings, the only top 10 recruits to commit to Indiana since 1998 are Eric Gordon, Romeo Langford, Noah Vonleh, Jared Jeffries and Cody Zeller.
