Could this signing have any affect on Negedus decision, both he and Tijan Jobe are formerly from A-hope and from what I just read it is an African Hoops organization that helps young men get their education. It may be a bit of a stretch but I'm sure it doesn't hurt.

This could shape up to be an AMAZING 48 hours if things go the hoosiers way… I don't know about you but I have faith in Coach Crean and his ability to make someone a player — like this 7 footer we are potentially landing…

I like the idea of spreading the scholarships out more……I'm sure he can't be any worse than sutton….I'd just like to see a big body in the line up……and this choice would make the recruiting classes smaller….hoosier nation says that iu is in the handful of school for negedu's services….when will he make the choice?

Agree, assuming this guy is serviceable, then I'd rather have him than Sutton, and adding Negedu would then solidify the front court, yet losing Jobe in two years would open up a scholly for when Crean really has this thing up and running in '11.

I agree with you I would rather have a project for 2 years instead of 4!!

Here is a little bit I've found on him, not much though:

Tijan Jobe: (SO) 7-foot-0 (265) from Gambia, Africa.

played at Olney Central College (Juco) where he avg. 3.0 ppg and 3.0 rpg and about 7.0 min per game

"Tijan is as physically imposing as any player I have ever had here at OCC. Tijan has really improved on the offensive end, but right now his defense and rebounding is ahead of his offensive game," said Burris. "Tijan runs the floor very well and he will see a lot of minutes for us this coming season."

if true thats not a good sign towards getting Sutton.

I have no idea if this guy is good, but for arguments sake let's say he equal to Sutton but with two year of JUCO, then I'd take him.

It would just split up the scholarships a little since he'd be a junior, instead of adding Sutton and having so many scholarships in '08 and '09.

Still want Negedu though.
