Hoosiers add Harrison Niego as preferred walk-on

For the second straight year, Indiana will bring in a walk-on who had multiple division I offers.

Last year it was Nate Ritchie and this year, as we noted Saturday afternoon on Twitter, the Hoosiers will welcome Lyons Township (Ill.) guard Harrison Niego.

The 6-foot-2 guard had mid-major and Ivy League offers, but instead opted to come to Bloomington as a preferred walk-on. He explained that decision in an interview with Mike Miller of The Herald-Times.

“This team has a lot of potential to make a great run this year,” Niego told Miller.
