The Hoosier’s biggest concern right now is if Khristian Lander will, in fact, reclassify and be in Bloomington next year. Considering how crazy the rest of the Big Ten has been that is a very good thing.
The top teams in the Big Ten have all taken hits or potential hits from key players leaving. Think about this for a minute of what has been lost or could be going into next season.
Michigan State – Cassius Winston graduation and Xavier Tillman draft
Illinois – Kofi Cockburn and Ayo Dosunmu both declared for the draft
Purdue – Matt Haarms transferred
Michigan – David DeJulius and Collin Castleton transferred, Isaiah Livers declared for the draft and they missed out on two 5-star recruits in 12 hours
Ohio State – Kaleb Wesson declared for the draft, DJ Carton and Luther Muhammad transferred
Penn State – Lamar Stevens graduated
Iowa – Luka Garza declared for the draft
Maryland – Anthony Cowan Jr graduated and Jalen Smith declared for the draft
Minnesota – Daniel Oturu declared for the draft
There are nine teams that have taken a huge hit losing some of their best players.
