Both Ivey and Edey were named to the FIBA U19 World Cup 5 All-Star Team with Chet Holmgren, Victor Wenbanyama and Serbia's Nikola Jovic.
In 2019, Trevion Williams won gold with Team USA. Carsen Edwards won bronze with Team USA in 2017. Lastly, Caleb Swanigan won gold in 2014 in the U17 World Cup before winning gold in the 2015 U19 World Cup.
Colvin was ranked as the nation's No. 58-ranked recruit via 247 Sports and No. 51 via Rivals after a standout career at Heritage Christian High School in Indianapolis. Colvin brings an electrifying style of basketball to West Lafayette next season. The 6-foot, 6-inch guard with a 6-foot, 10-inch wingspan averaged 19.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.6 steals per game as a senior, while shooting 45.0 percent from the field with 45, 3-pointers. He scored 35 points in a loss to 2A state champion Blackhawk Christian in February.
He recently finished as the runner-up at the Rocket Mortgage High School Slam Dunk Championship as part of Final Four festivities in Houston.
Colvin competed in the 2022 3x3 U18 World Championships with USA Basketball and turned eyes at the NBPA Top 100 Camp in June 2022. Colvin will be just 17 years old when he arrives in campus this summer.
