There is a growing sentiment that shooting has to become a higher priority on the recruiting trail for Indiana. An emerging talent in Tennessee might fit the mold of the type of player Indiana’s coaching staff needs to prioritize going forward to bring an end to the shooting woes in Bloomington. 6-foot-8, 210-pound forward Braeden Moore has become a hot prospect in recent months with high major offers rolling in.  Indiana’s involvement goes back to the summer when Jake Lieberman and Courtney Asher Smith first reported contact, and he has routinely mentioned the Hoosiers as a school staying in touch…

And with a remaining slate that entails 14 straight against KenPom…
