Jalen Hood-Schifino was the highest rated recruit Mike Woodson had ever signed when he first committed to Indiana in August 2021, then considered the third best combo guard in the country and fifth best player in his home state of Florida.
While the rankings have been through a few different iterations since then, Hood-Schifino remains a top 25 player nationally and will come to Bloomington as the highest-ranked player in the tenth best recruiting class in the country in 2022.
He’s listed as a combo guard, but saw most of his minutes at the point guard position for Montverde Academy, where he played alongside fellow IU commit Malik Reneau and 2023 prospect Kwame Evans Jr.
