IU men's basketball coach Tom Crean made a few statements via a press release today. Here are his thoughts on the Hoosiers' newest center, North Idaho College transfer Guy-Marc Michel.

We feel fortunate to add a student-athlete with the presence and size of Guy. He automatically upgrades our program on the defensive end with his shot blocking and post defense. We also feel he will help us with defensive rebounding and help defense. Offensively, he wants the basketball with strong post ups. I also see him being able to pass the ball out of double teams and we feel he can shoot it up to 15 feet. His upside is exciting and once he gets in top shape, I think he will be prepared to help us.

"I am glad Steve (McClain) is the relentless recruiter that he is, because this is another example of him going against the grain to find a real prospect. I know how excited Steve has been about Guy and we all feel the same way. Our players are very excited to add Guy to our Indiana program."
