Maurice Sutton previously said he would announce his decision on Tuesday. Now, he will not have his decision until Wednesday, according to his Facebook status update (yes, Facebook again). The late signing period, which began on April 16, will conclude on Wednesday.
Hey folks, News from the home front: Andrew Means picked up another Big Ten Player of the Week honor, his second of the season.
This according to Adam Zagoria of the Herald News in West Paterson, N.J. It's a three-team race between IU, Villanova and Seton Hall.
FoxSports.com's Jeff Goodman is reporting that Devin Ebanks, the top unsigned class of 2008 prospect, is headed to play for Bob Huggins at West Virginia.
I've inundated you with posts in the last few days, and I apologize for that. It's just that with the lighter publication schedule in the summer, the blog is my best tool for bringing you what's happening with the Hoosiers.
Below is the story I'm writing for Monday's paper about this weekend. It's a bit long, but it's all here.
Hey folks, The Hoosiers broke out the big bats with six runs in inning No. 1 today in East Lansing and never looked back, bashing their way to their first Big Ten Tournament appearance in five years with a 14-5 win over the host Spartans.
That's right, an IU win or a Northwestern loss (either will do) tomorrow puts the Hoosiers in their first Big Ten Tournament in five years.
Hey folks, The Hoosiers are creeping closer and closer to the promised land, but they almost hit a serious bump in the road.
Tom Crean isn't expected to use up all available scholarships for next season. The addition of Broderick Lewis, is further proof of that.
Hey folks, Just got off the phone with Eric Arnett and Chris Hervey, two of the key players in the Hoosiers' 9-2 win over Michigan State to open the do-or-die four-game set in East Lansing.
Indiana University and Dan Dakich have cut ties with one another. On Thursday, the University and Dakich reached a financial settlement that will pay the former interim coach $185,000, the salary he was scheduled to earn next season, according to the Associated Press. IU spokesman Larry MacIntyre confirmed the deal to the AP.
Hey folks, First up, I need to clarify something and answer a question from my last post. Thanks to reader Michael for asking: What happens if IU wins 2 and Northwestern none? The answer is Michigan State takes the sixth spot from IU because they have one more conference win right now.
Hey folks, Sorry for not checking in the last few days, had a family emergency and things got a bit hectic.
"The rankings are what they are and everybody puts so much weight on that," Bobby Capobianco told me last week. Well said.
Hey folks, The Hoosiers have themselves a new assistant coach: Katie Abrahamson-Henderson. She comes to IU from Washington, and she's compiled a pretty impressive record as a head coach at Missouri State.
Hey folks....back to the reality of IU basketball. ESPN is reporting that sources say the University has agreed with NCAA findings in the Kelvin Sampson phone saga. I just received an e-mail from IU with the report to the NCAA.
So I was logging off of Facebook (what do you expect?), and on my front page was a list of the most recent "status updates" among my friends (and "friends"). Right there was an update from a certain high school basketball star named Maurice Sutton, you may have heard of him. I wouldn't normally bother posting anything like this on the basketblog because, well, who does that?
Jeremiah Rivers plans to enroll at IU, a source told The Washington Times. Rivers, who recently announced his intentions of leaving the Georgetown progam, was on the IU campus for an unofficial visit Friday. In two seasons at Georgetown, Rivers never scored in double figures, but he had earned the reputation of being a "defensive stopper." Although Rivers would have to sit out for one year, the 6-foot-4 guard Rivers would bring two years of experience and leadership to a young IU squad next year.
6-foot-10 power foward/center Maurice Sutton is in town this weekend for the adidas May Classic. Sutton was impressed with IU, while he was rather impressive on the court playing with Indiana Elite LNO, both HoosierNation.com and Chris Korman from the H-T reported.
