IN HIS OWN WORDS
Schools involved: “I’m talking to Illinois, Indiana just contacted me recently, Missouri, Marquette, Iowa, and DePaul.”
Illinois: “They talk to me the most, most likely. I feel like they let everybody play. It’s like a family over there, it’s a brotherhood. The coaching staff, they want the best for their players.”
Indiana: “I haven’t seen too much, but I know they play at a fast pace. They have a great winning mentality and they’re just a great program overall.”
Missouri: “I haven’t seen too much about them, but I like the coaching staff. I talk to them and we FaceTime and get to know each other. Building a bond is important to me, so having a good relationship is big.”
Marquette: “I like the Big East. They have a great team and a great coaching staff. They talk to me personally and I just like the atmosphere there, too.”
Iowa: “They came down to my games a couple of months ago for high school, and I just like that they stay in touch. They’re trying to build a good relationship, also.”

RIVALS' REACTION
Indrusaitis has recently added an offer from Iowa State. His playing style would fit in perfectly with all of the schools he listed, but it’s hard to not imagine that Illinois is sitting in a good spot early on, considering location and connections. Indrusaitis is a player that we will take a long look at in terms of giving him a bump in our next rankings cycle for the 2024 class.
