Indiana University has extended a scholarship to Chase Lumpkin, a highly touted shooting guard in the class of 2027, signaling the Hoosiers’ intent to bolster their backcourt for the upcoming season.
Standing at 6‑foot‑4 and weighing 180 pounds, Lumpkin has quickly risen to prominence, averaging 26 points, seven assists and nearly three steals per game while shooting efficiently from the perimeter.
A Competitive Recruiting Landscape
Other top programs have also courted the Georgia native, with offers from Miami, UCLA, Kentucky and a host of other power‑conference schools, underscoring his status as a four‑star prospect ranked No. 44 nationally.
The commitment adds to Indiana’s already strong 2027 recruiting class, which includes another four‑star guard, Chase Branham, giving the Hoosiers a promising duo to build around.
Coaches believe Lumpkin’s playmaking and defensive instincts will complement the existing roster, potentially reshaping the team’s dynamics and enhancing its national outlook.
