The future starts to take shape
Indiana men’s basketball coach Darian DeVries landed his first high school recruit, securing a commitment from four-star 2026 guard Prince-Alexander Moody. Moody announced his decision on Instagram.
Per 247Sports, Moody is the no. 123 recruit in the class of 2026, and the 18th best combo guard in his class. Despite primarily being a shooting guard, but at 6’4”, 180 lbs., he has the size and athleticism to drive to the rim as well.
On the Nike EYBL circuit, Moody averaged 12.5 points per game, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game. He struggled shooting from deep, but looked good off the dribble and as a facilitator for teammates. He also thrived in transition, a good fit for a fast offense like Darian DeVries plans on running at Indiana.
Moody plays his high school basketball at Bishop McNamara, in District Heights, Maryland, whose recruitment probably began with assistant coach Kenny Johnson’s ties to the area. Look for Indiana to continue recruiting the DMV hard with him on the staff.
As a composite three-star recruit, Moody projects as a multiple year college player who likely comes off the bench as a freshman. With six players on its current roster in their final years of eligibility, it makes sense for DeVries to start building for the long term.
