Summer Session II starts next Friday, June 19, and most of the 2009 class is expected to be on campus.
Bobby Capobianco said he will be there on Monday or Tuesday. So will Christian Watford, his father told me by text message. Bloomington native Jordan Hulls said he will make the short trip to campus that Friday.
I was unsuccessful in reaching Derek Elston, but it sounds as if he will arrive on campus early next week.
Maurice Creek, however, is not going to be there for Summer Session II.
Creek, who seems to have emerged as the most highly anticipated recruit in Tom Crean's 2009 recruiting class, is still awaiting his standardized test scores to see if he qualifies.
"We're not sure," Creek said by phone yesterday when asked about his arrival on campus. "It depends on what my score is because I took my test last week. If I get my (desired) score, right when I receive my score I'll be leaving (for IU), but if I don't I have to wait and take like classes or whatever it is to get my stuff straight... So we're not really sure."
The higher a recruit's high school cumulative grade point average, the lower the necessary passing score. When we caught up with Creek in January, the four-star recruit had a 3.6 at the time, though it sounded as if he had not fared quite that well earlier in his high school career.
It has been made pretty clear how badly Creek wants to play for IU, and when talking with him in the past it was also evident that he has worked very hard in the classroom of late and plans to do so at the college level as well.
As for Bawa Muniru, no one seems to know. For now there is no reason to expect anything but for him to be playing at IU, but I was unable to reach him to confirm that.
