James Blackmon chooses Indiana over Kentucky

Five-star shooting guard James Blackmon Jr. committed to the Indiana Hoosiers on Thursday night over offers from Kentucky, Michigan, Michigan State and Kansas."

This is a huge in-state pickup for coach Tom Crean, who lost Blackmon's original commitment in August.

Blackmon, the No. 19 player in the ESPN 100, is a smart and smooth shooting guard who has a quick trigger and deep range.
