“It Is Perfectly Done”: Sam Houston Shooting Guard Lamar Wilkerson Commits to Indiana, Snubbing Kentucky and Alabama, Shares Heartfelt Message to Indiana, Triggering H.C. to Inform That…

In a move that sent ripples through the college basketball world, Sam Houston standout shooting guard Lamar Wilkerson officially announced his commitment to Indiana University, choosing the Hoosiers over powerhouse programs Kentucky and Alabama. The 6’5” guard, known for his smooth shooting stroke and two-way playmaking, described the decision in one simple phrase: “It is perfectly done.”

Wilkerson, who averaged 17.8 points per game last season and shot over 41% from beyond the arc, had been one of the most sought-after guards in the transfer portal. After narrowing his final choices to Indiana, Kentucky, and Alabama, Wilkerson’s commitment to the Hoosiers has been seen as a huge recruiting win for Head Coach Mike Woodson and his staff.

Shortly after the announcement, Wilkerson took to social media to share a heartfelt message directed at the Indiana fan base:

“This decision wasn’t just about basketball. It was about heart, about home, and about the people. From the moment I stepped on campus, I felt something real at Indiana. I’m ready to give everything I’ve got — for the fans, for the program, and for what we’re building here. Let’s work. #HoosierNation”

His message quickly went viral, prompting an emotional reaction from fans and even players within the program. Not long after, Coach Woodson — often reserved in the media — issued a rare personal statement.

“Lamar brings not just talent, but leadership and heart. When he says ‘it is perfectly done,’ he’s talking about alignment — with our values, our goals, and our mission. We’re building something special, and Lamar just made it that much stronger.”

Behind the scenes, insiders suggest that Wilkerson’s connection with IU players and staff during his visit played a major role. Despite aggressive pushes from Kentucky’s John Calipari and Alabama’s Nate Oats, Wilkerson reportedly told Indiana staff during his visit that “something about this place just fits different.”

With this commitment, Indiana’s backcourt now features a lethal mix of veteran experience and rising star power, and expectations are soaring. As Coach Woodson closed his message:
