INDIANAPOLIS - IU Indianapolis head basketball coach Paul Corsaro announced two signees to National Letters of Intent to join the Jaguar program, beginning this fall.
DeSean Goode (Fairmont, W.Va./Fairmont Senior/Fork Union Academy) and
Caleb Hannah (Chicago, Ill./Orr Academy/Miami Dade College) bring the incoming recruiting class to 11 newcomers. Goode will be a true freshman this fall while Hannah will be a sophomore, having played at Miami Dade College this past season.
"Definitely excited about adding these two young men to our program," Corsaro said. "These two guys bring a ton of athleticism and upside to the program. Caleb had a really strong freshman year at Miami Dade and I really like bringing in junior college kids with three years to play. He's got great length and athleticism from the guard position and creates mismatches offensively. DeSean originally committed to New Orleans and came highly recommended to us. He's won at virtually every level and impacts games in a lot of different ways. We're definitely excited to get both of them to campus."
