+

Kris Wilkes, the 5-star SF out of Indianapolis, set an Official Visit in Bloomington for the weekend of October 1st. It should be a wild weekend on campus as the football team should (will) be 3-0 heading into a matchup with Michigan State. The #15 player in the class of 2017 has a visit scheduled for UCLA the weekend before, and a visit to Illinois on September 9th. He plans to take visits to his two other finalists, Xavier and UConn, but has not set dates for those yet.
