Less than four days after Indiana formally announced the hiring of Yasir Rosemond to the coaching staff, Kaleb Banks was already mentioning his relationship with Mike Woodson’s new assistant as a primary reason for his interest in the Hoosiers.
Rosemond was announced as Indiana’s third assistant coach on April 14, 2021. Less than two days later, Rosemond and Woodson were already on the phone, offering a scholarship to the rising senior from Hampton, Georgia.
Rosemond was touted as a high-level recruiter with deep connections in the south when he was hired. Banks was the first example of a recruit with who Rosemond had already established a strong bond before he was even hired at Indiana.
