Indiana’s class of 2022 priority targets continue to emerge.
IU head coach Archie Miller offered top-40 guard Jordan Hood-Schifino on Wednesday.
Hood-Schifino announced the offer on his Instagram page.
Hood-Schifino originally committed to Pittsburgh in December, 2019, but backed out this summer. As with Miller and new assistant Kenya Hunter, Hood-Schifino is from the Pittsburgh area.
The 6-foot-5 Hood-Schifino is still being recruited by Pittsburgh along with Kansas, Florida and others. Prior to committing to Pittsburgh, Hood-Schifino had offers from Florida, Clemson, Wake Forest, Georgia Tech, Ole Miss, Wichita State, South Florida, Virginia Tech, Illinois and Charlotte.
Although he is a Pittsburgh native, Hood-Schifino transferred to Charlotte (N.C.) Combine Academy in 2019 and then to Montverde Academy in Florida in 2020. Montverde plays a national schedule and went 25-0 last season.
As a sophomore, Hood-Schifino averaged 15.6 points, 6.0 assists and 3.9 rebounds per game at the Combine Academy.
Hood-Schifino is the No. 33 player overall in the class of 2022 according to he 247Sports Composite, and the No. 6 combo guard.
Although he is listed as a combo or shooting guard by the recruiting sites, Hood-Schifino considers himself a big point guard. He combines that size with the high level skill and athleticism to make him an elite prospect. Hood-Schifino has a quick and high release on his jump shot, a strong off hand, and a soft touch around the basket.
For AAU, Hood-Schifino plays for the Nike EYBL CP3 program. He has been a regular at Team USA events, most recently at the 2019 USA Basketball Men’s Junior National Team October minicamp.
