Jalen Hood-Schifino: A commitment to Indiana and the relentless mindset he learned from his mother

Posted Aug 27, 2021
Jalen Hood-Schifino, Indiana's newest basketball commit, lives by a simple acronym, which happens to be the last four letters of his last name: F.I.N.O. — failure is no option. It’s a large part of how Jalen got to where he is today. It led him to become a top-25 recruit in the 2022 class and led him to Montverde Academy, a prestigious basketball school. (Inside the Hall)
