2011 commit Carlino reopens recruitment

IDS Reports

Bloomington High School South junior Matt Carlino, who committed to play basketball for IU in August 2008, decided to reopen his recruitment Thursday, according to reports from Mike Pegram of Inside Indiana, IU’s affiliate for Rivals.com.

“I reopened my recruitment today,” Carlino told Pegram. “Coach Crean and his staff have been great to me. However, I feel I committed too early, and although I like Indiana, I felt it would be good to explore other options.”

Carlino, an Arizona native, had offers from Arizona and Arizona State before he committed to the Hoosiers. News of his decision came hours after an IU recruit from the class of 2010, Moses Abraham, decided to commit to play his collegiate basketball for the Georgetown Hoyas.
