After a recruitment reminiscent of Indiana’s open-and-shut courtship of Tamar Bates last year, Indiana landed five star 2022 power forward Malik Reneau from Montverde Academy about two months ago, on April 29.
Reneau, the 6’8” 210 lb four man, played alongside fellow Indiana commit Jalen Hood-Schifino at Montverde Academy last season, where they won the Geico National Championship together. Reneau had originally committed to the home state Florida Gators, but reopened his recruitment after Mike White was hired away by Georgia.
Indiana, led by Kenya Hunter, had been involved in the initial recruitment, but didn’t get a ton of traction until the second time around, in part due to Hood-Schifino’s recruiting to join him as teammates with the Hoosiers.
