Guys I'm going to reccomend an article from yahoo about the late coach Haskins. This is a man I looked up to, and who I strive to be. College basketball has lost a good friend and a good man.

Once Watford has verballed, IMHO we will go after a big for the oversign either Brandt or Bawa Manuri. Brandt doesn't want to verbal until spring 2009; thus, if Watford verbals, Crean will have to roll the dice and wait to see if we can get Brandt in the srping or go for someone like Manuri, who will be in Bloomington for the BSU game. I have the feeling that chances of getting Cheek have faded.

Cheek and Braswell are both planning visits to IU. Braswell's is later this month and I'm not exactly sure when Cheek is visiting. In order to land Cheek, IU is going to have to overcome a strong relationship he's already built with Villanova, Wake Forest and Kansas.

As far as the verbals we already have, I would categorize all of them as strong.

Has there been any news on Cheek or Braswell's interest in IU? How solid are all these verbals we already have?

It seems there was some confusion on the timing of Watford's visit with Crean. The visit is taking place today.

He looks alot like Jordan Crawford. But, can he dunk like JC?

Probably so, but I think Cheek is the No. 1 priority (for obvious reasons) and I think Braswell is a better fit because he's going to give you more in the post. Brandt is taller than Braswell (he also will need to get stronger), but he's definitely going to need to add mass in order to play in the post against Big Ten competition.

Do you think Angus Brandt is also on that list?

INCREDIBLE!!!!!

if we snag Watford, our already stellar class of '09 is a sure top 10 class, if not top 5!
