He will be attending Georgia State, who is coached by Ron Hunter, the former coach of IUPUI until 2011. Hunter has used his Indiana ties with a couple of transfers, last year was Jeremy Hollowell and now Basil.

Basil came in with the Kendall Stephens and Bryson Scott class, but chose to take a redshirt year after Caleb Swanigan came to campus last season.
