With the academic status of 2009 recruits Maurice Creek and Bawa Muniru still uncertain, IU men’s basketball coach Tom Crean didn’t have any new information to share when he met with the media Wednesday morning.
Two more members of the IU baseball team have begun professional sports careers. Junior outfielders Evan Crawford and Kipp Schutz elected to sign last week with the San Francisco Giants and Baltimore Orioles, respectively, ending on their IU careers and heading to the Minor Leagues.
Former IU pitcher Eric Arnett has agreed to contractual terms with the Milwaukee Brewers, the team that took him in the first round of the Major League Baseball Draft on June 9.

Schutz actually only played two full seasons in Bloomington, after his freshman campaign was cut off after seven games by a shoulder injury
Phegley came to IU with high expectations as the 2006 Indiana Mr. Baseball.
Crawford is probably one of the highest-potential players in the draft. He’s got several tools – great speed, a strong arm and a solid bat.
Bashore had perhaps the best draft prospects of any Hoosier coming into this season, but a slow start in the non-conference schedule caused him to slip.
Arnett’s draft stock soared after a senior season that saw him notch a 12-2 record with a 2.50 ERA. His long 6-5 frame and athleticism tantalized scouts, vaulting him into the first round.
Three years ago, 19 freshmen came to Bloomington as members of IU baseball coach Tracy Smith’s first full recruiting class. They can leave IU knowing their business in Bloomington is finally finished.
Guaranteed an automatic NCAA bid for its four-game sweep through last week’s Big Ten Tournament, the IU baseball team landed perhaps its best option Monday.
The Hoosiers will be a four-seed in the NCAA Regional in Louisville, far and away their closest possible destination. No. 1-seed Louisville will be IU’s first opponent, with games beginning at 3 p.m. Friday, according to Louisville’s Web site.
A 13-3 victory Friday night against No. 1-seeded Ohio State puts the Hoosiers in Saturday’s championship game, and means they would have to lose twice in the double-elimination Big Ten Tournament to lose out on the conference crown.
An IU baseball team that two years ago had collectively never seen Big Ten Tournament action is making things look pretty easy so far in this one.
The NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate found the IU men’s basketball program well below the national average, ranked 325 out of 341 Division I schools.
Well, folks, it’s time to say goodbye. It’s been a pleasure writing to you these last 12 months, and looking back at the ground we’ve covered, it occurs to me I ought to say thank you for not punching me silly at Kilroys for some of the lunacy I’ve put in this space.
Listen. Players transfer. It’s nothing really underhanded or wrong; guys just realize that what was once a good fit for them now runs a little bit too tight. It’s one of the most common occurrences in college sports, sometimes more so than winning itself.
Today is Tom Crean’s 370th day on the job as IU men’s basketball coach, which isn’t all that long – unless you consider the tenures of his immediate predecessors. Speaking by phone Thursday, the first-year coach reflected on his first full season in Bloomington, one that was perhaps more important for what it wasn’t – full of controversy – than what it was.
It really has been a remarkable season – not good or bad, just remarkable. Last year was likely the single most unpredictable year in IU basketball history – but this one gave it a run.
