Bradley transfer guard Connor Hickman has date set for Indiana basketball visit

The Indiana basketball program has locked in another visit from a key transfer portal target following the dead period.

Bradley transfer guard Connor Hickman will be on campus April 14, he confirmed with HoosierIllustrated.com. The dead period runs from April 4-11, which prohibits any on-campus visits.

Jeff Rabjohns of Peegs.com was first to report the news.

This visit will come just over a week after Indiana basketball head coach Mike Woodson and assistant coaches Brian Walsh and Kenya Hunter conducted an in-home visit with Hickman.

Hickman has one year of eligibility remaining after three extremely productive seasons at Bradley. He is coming off of a junior season when he averaged 14.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.2 steals per game. He shot 40.2 percent from three, making 2.4 3s per game.

He was named an All-Missouri Valley Third Team season as a junior.

He hit at least two 3s in 24 games and three 3s in 11 games. He scored 20 points eight times, including 21 points against both Drake and Utah State, two NCAA Tournament teams.

He averaged 14.0 points on 52.4 percent (11-of-21) from the field in two NIT games this season against Loyola (Ill.) and Cincinnati.

As a sophomore, Hickman averaged 8.6 points and shot 33.6 percent from three.

During his freshman season, he averaged 6.8 points and shot 37.4 percent from three. He is a career 37.3 percent three-point shooter on 1.6 made 3s per game.

Hickman has started 87 of 96 games played across three seasons.

The 6-foot-3 point guard was teammates with current Indiana basketball guard Anthony Leal on Bloomington South (Ind.) and was a critical part of its 26-0 season before the state tournament was cancelled due to covid.

Indiana basketball has six scholarships available for next season and currently just one commit in the 2024 class in McDonald’s All-American wing Bryson Tucker.
