The Indiana basketball program has extended a scholarship offer to 2025 four-star wing Jordan Scott, he announced.
Scott plays for South Lakes High School (Va.) and is ranked the No. 79 overall player in the 247Sports Composite Rankings. He is the No. 17 small forward in the class.
According to Scott, Indiana basketball assistant coach Kenya Hunter was out to visit him today. Monday marked the first day of the live recruiting period when college coaches were allowed on the road for open gyms and off campus visits to prospects.
Scott is a 6-foot-7 and 185-pound wing who played with Virginia Elite on the UAA Circuit this summer. He helped South Lakes to a 25-4 record and Class 6 state semifinals appearance this past season.
He holds offers from Michigan State, Rutgers, Iowa, Miami (Fla.), Maryland, Florida State, Illinois, Penn State, Pittsburgh and others.
Scott has good size on the perimeter and is very effective in the paint with his length. While he’s not an exceptional athlete, he does have the skills to showcase some above-the-rim ability at times. He’s best as a shooter and while he’s still developing a more consistent off the dribble shot, he’s already a very good spot-up shooter.
