Indiana coach Tom Crean was recruiting in Missouri and Illinois on Tuesday and made a pair of stops to watch two prospects.
Crean watched 2018 Chaminade College Prep (Mo.) forward Jericole Hellems and then moved over to Illinois to watch rising 2017 Edwardsville guard Mark Smith.
Hellems (pictured), is a 6-foot-6, 195 pound forward who is three-star prospect according to the 247Composite. Indiana offered him a scholarship after watching him.

Hellems played for the St. Louis Eagles on the Nike Elite Youth Basketball (EYBL) circuit last spring and summer.
