Lander latest to return to Hoosiers
DYLAN SINN | The Journal Gazette
Indiana guard Khristian Lander, a five-star recruit in the 2021 class out of Evansville who re-classified to 2020 and played for the Hoosiers this season, has pulled his name out of the transfer portal and plans to play for IU next season, he announced this afternoon.
"I want to be one of the reasons Indiana basketball gets back to being great again," Lander said in a statement posted on social media. "I'm putting my trust into my team, Coach (Mike) Woodson and the staff he is assembling."
Lander is the latest of the players who put their names in the transfer portal following the Hoosiers' decision to move on from former coach Archie Miller to announce he will return to play for Woodson. Parker Stewart had already done so, while All-American Trayce Jackson-Davis spurned the NBA to return to Indiana, putting his faith in the new coach.
