Freshman Focus: Bryson Tucker

Indiana added a commitment from a highly-touted high school player for the fourth straight spring.

Bryson Tucker, a 6-foot-6 wing from Bishop O’Connell in Arlington, Virginia, committed to the Hoosiers in late March. He signed with Indiana just a few weeks later.

While Indiana fans were familiar with Tucker, winning his commitment was another example of Mike Woodson and the Indiana coaching staff winning an abbreviated recruitment.

In 2021, the Hoosiers landed Tamar Bates, who had been committed to Texas but decided to reopen things after Shaka Smart left for Marquette. In 2022, Indiana added Malik Reneau after the lefty big man came back on the market following Mike White’s departure from Florida to Georgia.
