The 6-foot-7 forward came to Bloomington with the reputation as a good shooter but failed to live up to that as he shot just 29.9 percent from the field and 23.1 percent from three in his two seasons. Missing the final 18 shots of the season, he saw action in just six of the final 19 games of the year, seeing more than four minutes just twice.

With Anderson's departure, Indiana now has two open scholarships for the 2020 class. One spot is presumed to be taken by 2021 commit Khristian Lander who is expected to reclassify to 2020.

Anderson averaged 19.1 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game as a senior while helping South Bend Riley to a 26-1 record. He was a four-star prospect and ranked No. 118 in the 2018 class.

Programs like Michigan, DePaul, UConn and Purdue were involved in his original recruitment. Sources close to the situation say proximity to home is not a main priority and he is open to everything at the moment.
