As I just mentioned in the general 2025 recruiting thread, the article released today (
https://cubuffs.com/news/2024/11/13/mens-basketball-colorado-adds-five-for-2025) included sections for each signer.
The section for Mr. Inman -

Ian Inman, 6-5, 180, F, The Woodlands Texas (College Park)
Ian Inman averaged 12.9 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.5 assists as a junior in 2023-24, helping College Park to a 33-5 record and the Class 6A Region 1 & 2 quarterfinals. His team won the Region II District 13 regular season title with a 15-1 record. 247Sports lists Inman as a three-star prospect and the 23rd best player in the state of Texas. Inman came into his own on the club circuit playing for Cooze Elite in the Houston area, where he shot 50 percent from 3-point range this last season. Cooze Elite is coached by PJ Couisnard, a former Wichita State standout (2004-08) coached by both Boyle and associate head coach
Mike Rohn.
Inman on signing with Colorado: "I felt really comfortable with the coaching staff, and they've got a bunch of great guys coming in with me and I just feel like our recruit class can be one of the best in the country for sure. What stood out to me most is the academics are great, the basketball program was always pretty good and it was a no brainer for me. I love coach Boyle, love the coaching staff, love the kids on the team. It's a perfect spot for me."
Inman on his game: "Last year in high school I wasn't as confident, comfortable with the ball, but over the summer I stayed the course, grinded and really worked on my ball handling and always shooting; I was always a good shooter, but I just needed the extra intangibles. I feel I can stretch the floor for sure, coming off ball screens. I shoot a lot of middies and make them all very efficiently. I'm going to show a lot of good efficiency. I feel like a great 'slept' part of my games is my passing. I can see the floor very well, see all the angles. I feel like I'm a well-rounded player."
Coach Boyle: "Ian is a guy we saw this summer and is the epitome of what the summer is all about. You have a list of prospects you're looking at – 15 to 20 guys – and some rise to the top. Ian was that guy that rose to the top for me because of his ability to shoot the ball. I saw him with his high school team in June, now he's more than just a shooter, he's got good size and can put the ball on the floor. He can do a lot of different things, but he's an elite shooter, which we need. With his AAU team, his role was completely different and sometimes people recruit kids based on what they do with their AAU teams. I like to see them with their high school teams so you can see the difference, and with his high school team, he impacts the games in a lot of different ways."
