If you've been following college basketball recruiting news in the past few weeks, you might have noticed a recurring theme: Mississippi State is EVERYWHERE. They are seemingly in on everyone, getting commits from heralded prospects (three 4-star commits, including former IU target Schnider Herard), and are not even close to being done.
Their remaining 2016 targets, though, are where the story begins to be problematic for Indiana. Of their 3 most sought-after uncommitted prospects (Adbul Ado, Mario Kegler, and De'Ron Davis), 2 are also atop the wish list for Tom Crean and his staff. Mario Kegler (#32 overall) was in Bloomington for Hoosier Hysteria, and by all accounts had a great time, yet 82% of analysts are predicting him to follow Ben Howland to Starkville, Mississippi.
