It was time.
On Sunday, 5-star forward Liam McNeeley, from Montverde Academy, announced his commitment to the Indiana Hoosiers. McNeeley chose Indiana over Kansas, and he held offers from a multitude of high-major schools, including Texas, Alabama, Arkansas, LSU, and Michigan.
McNeeley becomes the first member of Mike Woodson’s 2024 recruiting class, and the third five-star high school player to join Indiana in the Woodson era, after Mackenzie Mgbako and Jalen Hood-Schifino. Five-star high school recruit Kel’el Ware joined Indiana in the offseason from the transfer portal.
McNeeley hails from Richardson, Texas, and played high school ball at John Paul II HS in Plano, before moving to Montverde. He joins Hood-Schifino and Malik Reneau in the Montverde pipeline from Florida to Bloomington, Indiana.
247Sports’ analyst Adam Finkelstein, in addition to the above, also said McNeeley “has one of the best combinations of skill and basketball acumen in the national class.”
