Jibreel Black interview

I just got off the phone with Jibreel Black, previously IU's top recruit who confirmed that he did indeed switch his commitment to Cincinnati. Black, whose brother Larry starts at defensive tackle for the Hoosiers, is rated a four-star recruit according to Scout.com and a three-star recruit according to Rivals.com. What went into the decision to switch from IU to Cincinnati? I have been thinking about the decision for the past two weeks.

Former IU golfer Wheatcroft captures PGA Tour Card

Steve Wheatcroft, IU men's golfer from 1998-2001, earned his 2010 PGA Tour Card with a tie for 3rd at the Nationwide Tour Championship on Sunday. Wheatcroft started the tournament in 31st place on the 2009 Nationwide Tour Money list and needed a strong week to get in the top 25 on the money list, which is the cut off for earning a 2010 PGA Tour Card. The two time All Big Ten Selection, Wheatcroft's third place finish was his highest finish of the year and put him 18th on the final money list for the 2009 season. Wheatcroft is now fully exempt on the PGA Tour for the 2010 season.
