Australia’s Dante Exum has received a lot of attention the last couple of days as he has shown the world how good he actually is in the Under 19 World Championships in Prague.
Exum spoke with Adam Zagoria about his upcoming decision to either play in college or go straight to the NBA and also the schools that are recruiting him.
Australian star Dante Exum is leaning towards coming to college instead of entering the 2014 NBA Draft and right now Indiana appears to be tops on his list.
“Indiana was one of the first schools to show a real deep interest in me,” the 6-foot-5 Exum told SNY.tv from the FIBA U19 World Championship in Prague where he is the sixth-leading scorer at 16.4 points per game.
“So I decided to take a visit to Indiana earlier this year. Just so I can see their program and what they are about. But it will be interesting to compare them to some of the others school I want to look further into when I take those visits. It has always been a goal to play in the NCAA tournament. My dad has a ring and I always wanted one for myself.”
Exum said other schools recruiting him the “hardest” include Michigan, Louisville, LSU, SMU, Tulsa and Kentucky.

My guess is if Kentucky is one of the schools recruiting him the hardest, the coaching staff must think Kyle Wiltjer probably won’t return.
But, you never know.
