The addition of five-star point guard Khristian Lander has given Indiana a boost in early preseason rankings for the 2020-21 season.
Bart Torvik’s preseason ratings are the most bullish on the Hoosiers following the addition of Lander, the No. 24 player in the 247Composite rankings. Torvik has Indiana at No. 11, which is the second highest for a Big Ten team behind Wisconsin.
Several national writers are also now including Indiana in their preseason rankings, including Stadium’s Jeff Goodman, Gary Parrish of CBS Sports and Jeff Borzello of ESPN.
