Kaleb Banks grew up in a family of athletes, so the recruiting process wasn’t anything new to him. His mother played basketball at Alabama, his father played basketball at LaGrange and his older sister, Kiana, runs track at Texas Christian University.
But what was the difference for Kaleb? He decided not to stay in the south.
The class of 2022 forward from Fayetteville, Georgia, committed to Indiana on Friday after paying a visit to Bloomington and head coach Mike Woodson in June.
Kaleb’s mom, Kendra Banks, said he was originally looking to stay closer to home and thought about choosing a school in Georgia or a bordering state.
