b'When a kid is this special... and there is no doubt Jakai Newton is just that... it\'s only right his parents share in the spotlight.

Even when he was just a baby, Bettina and Brandon knew their son possessed extraordinary athleticism, but as he grew so too did the list of Jakai\'s prodigious talents and passions. As a student, artist, volunteer and even entrepreneur, he excelled at whatever gained the attention of his laser focus.

And now, to the great fortune of all Indiana basketball fans, Jakai has firmly set his sights on the hardwood and will arrive at IU in 2023. And oh yes, this exceptional young man is bringing his plus-6 wingspan, defensive tenacity and ferocious dunks with him. Hallelujah!
