"We are thrilled that Lexus is a Hoosier. When we started recruiting for our Class of 2022, we knew we need a point. We feel that we got the best fit for us in the entire country.

"Lilly is a player that we have recruited for a long time. She has great length and skill at the forward position. She has versatility in that she can score inside, as well as step out to the perimeter and hit from beyond the arc. As she continues to get stronger, her best basketball is ahead of her. We are excited to develop her into a really good Big Ten player."
