Ole Miss basketball extends offer to On3 Consensus four-star shooting guard Nojus Indrusaitis
St. Rita (Ill.) shooting guard and On3 Consensus four-star Nojus Indrusaitis has received an offer from Ole Miss on Wednesday, per his Twitter.
It’s still early in the process for Indrusaitis, as he has yet to take a college visit entering his junior season. But the 6-foot-4, 170 pound back court prospect has early offers from Illinois, DePaul, Marquette, Iowa, Maryland, Iowa State, Nebraska and Missouri.
Indrusaitis is ranked as the No. 75 overall prospect in the 2024 class, according to the On3 Consensus. He’s also the No. 14 shooting guard the No. 3 player in the state of Illinois. Prior to transferring to St. Rita High School in Chicago, the 2024 recruit prepped at Lemont (Ill.) where he was a part of a 27-8 club who made it to the Supersectionals round of the IHSAA playoffs.
Now at St. Rita, he will play on the same team with On3 Consensus four-stars James Brown and Morez Johnson.
On the international stage, the junior from Illinois helped Lithuania win the FIBA U16 European Championship for the first time since 2008. Indrusaitis was voted into the tournament’s All-Star Five after a dominant performance across the pond, finishing the tournament averaging 15.1 points per game and shooting 56.8 percent from the field. Moreso, he shot 36 percent from three-point range and 80.5 percent from the free throw line.
Indrusaitis is a multifaceted scorer who can create opportunities in a multitude of ways. He operates well in transition and has a tenacity around the rim. His handle is well above average, giving him the ability to break down a defender off the bounce and his vision is exceptional when distributing the basketball to teammates. In Europe, he flashed as an aggressive scorer in pick-and-roll situations and was able to consistently finish with either hand.
He’s had an outstanding showing on the AAU circuit this summer and should continue to pile up Power 5 offers heading into his junior season.
As of this writing, Ole Miss and head coach Kermit Davis do not have anyone in their 2024 class. But they have been on a heater this summer in the 2023 cycle, adding four-stars Rashaud Marshall and Jordan Burks.
Ole Miss’ 2023 class is currently ranked 31st in the country, per On3’s 2023 Consensus Basketball Team Recruiting Rankings.
The home state Illinois Illini lead the way in his Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM) at 67.2%. DePaul sits in second at 5.3% followed by Marquette (4.6%), Iowa (3.8%), Iowa State (3.8%), Missouri (3.8%), Ole Miss (3.8%), Nebraska (3.8%) and Maryland (3.8%).
