A few weeks back, the big debate among IU fans was whether they would prefer a big man, or the possible services of five-star recruit Dominic Cheek. Bawa Muniru committed, thus giving IU a big man, but Cheek isn't out of the picture either.
It appears Tom Crean hasn't given up on recruiting 2009 talent, and while Chris Braswell has opted to play at Charlotte, Cheek may be the top target for IU now. Cheek once said he would "definitely" visit IU, but shortly after the Hoosiers appeared to be out of the Cheek sweepstakes. Then, Crean and assistant Roshown McLeod made an in home visit and made a good impression on the New Jersey prep star.
Adam Zagoria caught up with St. Anthony High School associate head coach Ben Gamble, who said Wake Forest, Tennessee and UConn are out. Now, Cheek plans to visit Kansas, Memphis, Indiana, Villanova, and Pittsburgh, and could also check out Seton Hall and Rutgers, Zagoria reports.
"Gamble added that "he'll be eligible to receive a scholarship" at Indiana in 2009. Former St. Anthony star Roshown McLeod, the older brother of St. Anthony guard Devon McLeod, is an assistant under Tom Crean at Indiana."
