Is he one of those guys that Amaker got in trouble with for the possible recruiting violations? Ben-eze that is?

I have heard/read T.Crean will do what he can with this year and is focused on a few guys but looks to make a big splash with the 09 class which makes sense. Van Treese would be a good get despite my feelings that I think he is an OK player, but he still has another year. I will be intersted to see what happens with Ray Mac jr.

And please TC….get some big guys…for about 5 years I have seen enough of 3 and 4 guard offenses….

Assuming everyone comes back, IU has 8 scholarships designated for next season if you include Bassett and Ellis. They are able to give out 12. Therefore, they could technically add up to 4 guys this spring but that is unlikely to happen. Taber and Finkelmeier could be put on scholarship if all spots are not filled.

As far as Frank Ben-Eze goes, he is a 6-10, 230 lb forward/center out of Virginia that Marquette was recruiting heavily when Crean was still in Milwaukee. When Crean left for Bloomington, the speculation began that IU could be in the mix for his services. He originally committed to Harvard but re-opened his recruitment in March. He's also being recruited by UCLA, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech, LSU, Pittsburgh and Rutgers.

Well I do like the ides of going after guys 6-8 or bigger. I have felt this has been a problem at IU for some time. We never have a problem finding guards that end up being pretty good. I always look at the 2001-2002 team. Odle, Leach, Jefferies, Newton were pretty tall kids. I think that is why we had such a good team that year. This year if DJ would of been able to play at the 4 spot we would have taked the conference. Also I wanted to know how many scholorships can we fill this year and what the story was on thie Ben-eze kid?

Bobby Capobianco and Roger Franklin are both in the 2009 class.

Capobianco hasn't been offered by IU to my knowledge and is likely below Van Treese on the priority list.
