Indiana gets 2016 pledge from Devonte Green, younger brother of Danny Green

Indiana picked up its fourth Class of 2016 commitment on Saturday as guard Devonte Green, the younger brother of San Antonio Spurs guard Danny Green, pledged to the Hoosiers. The 6-foot-1 Green announced his decision to commit to Indiana on Saturday afternoon.

Regarded as a three-star prospect, according to Rivals, Green can play a bit of both guard spots and helps Indiana with additional perimeter flexibility for next season. Green joins four-star shooting guard Curtis Jones, four-star big man Da’Ron Davis and three-star guard Grant Gelon in Indiana’s 2016 class.

With the Hoosiers losing Yogi Ferrell and Nick Zeisloft next season -- and with the team dealing with roster uncertainty with James Blackmon’s season-ending injury and Troy Williams potentially going pro -- Green gives Indiana another insurance policy. The late-blooming Green hails from New York and attends Long Island Lutheran.
