SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — Darius Adams, a five-star combo guard in the class of 2025, continues to see his recruitment heat up while consistently improving on both ends of the floor.
The 6-foot-5 La Lumiere (IN.) product posted 13 points and 6 rebounds in a 75-64 win over Sunrise Christian (KS.) at Saturday’s highly-touted HoopHall Classic.
Adams is coveted for his three-way scoring ability and proves each game that he has next-level shot-creation, whether it be on the inside or behind the arc. During Saturday’s matchup, he specifically showed unique body-control when driving to the rim and a quick release on the perimeter.
He’s taken unofficial visits to Tennessee, Michigan State, Notre Dame and Indiana thus far and said postgame that those two schools, along with Michigan, want to get him down for official visits, though he’ll wait until after the season to schedule anything.
Adams broke down his recent options to ZAGSBLOG:
Michigan State: “One coach I would say impressed me a lot was Michigan State. He [Tom Izzo] because when we were at the football game he sat next to me and talked to me the whole time so that really meant something to me.”
Tennessee: “I’m hoping to see a game, see their playstyle and see if I can fit in.
Alabama: “I’ve been texting with them. I do want to get down there sooner rather than later. But, after the season.”
Indiana: “It was a really good experience just talking to [Mike] Woodson and watching the football game. It was Indiana vs. Ohio State so it was a pretty cool game.”
