I see Maurice Sutton ending up at Villanova because he raved about how he love his visit and Coach Jay Wright while only saying the IU visit was just “Awright.”

Emmanuel Negedu will probably follow ex-AZ Assistant Pastner who recruited him for AZ and is now at Memphis. The only hope IU has with Negedu is if he comes to Bloomington because he has familiarity here because of his AAU Bloomington Team and/or because a fellow African Jobe has already committed to IU.

After reading about Sutton on Hoop Scoop the kid seems to have his head on straight and comes from a good family faith and foundation. I will give the kid a chance, given the things and kids this program has had to deal with in the past…………Mo Sutton…welcome to IU.

If you choose Seton Hall remember at one point they wore spandex uniforms
If you choose Villanova the last decent big man from there was Ed Pickney

The people on this site are some good damn fans to come up with legal guardian information of a potential recruit……….I love ITH and the crew….that is so so money.

Negedu’s legal guardian is a Nigerian living in Bloomington.

I don't think Crean tries to build teams like that. It just seems to happen with his up tempo style of play. I think any coach would tell you he needs players over 6-6 to be successful.

The thing is that next year we're not going to be that good anyway. If we wait until next year it allows us to go after walker, watford, and a better center. I'm just not sold on Sutton yet. His weight really scares me playing in the Big 10. Its going to be a couple years before he has an impact. We need to go hard after Negedu he's a beast.

Crean will be on WNDE 1260 tommorow (tues) sometime between 3 and 6!! Hopefully he will have some good news.

Good point JCT, Yes we want big guys but if that isn't creans way of doing things then we will deal with it. I don't want big players just to have them….Now as far as Negedu…I want him in an IU uniform…

I guess one thing to keep in mind is that last year's Crean team had only 2 inside players taller than 6'6″ who averaged more than 10 minutes of PT , together the avg was 15min. To me this means we need to start getting used to most of the team being under 6' 6″ but w great passing, handling, quickness etc . That said if Sutton cannot run or handle he does not fit anyway no matter how tall he is.
