Monday AM Update: Evan Daniels of Scout.com is reporting that Will Sheehey has committed to play for Indiana and will sign a Letter of Intent on Tuesday.

Here’s what Daniels had to say when we asked him about the impact Sheehey will have at IU: “At 6-5 Sheehey is a guy that will be bring athleticism, toughness and an ability to score from the wing position to the table for the Hoosiers.  He’s made strides in his game and he really turned some heads as the early signing period was ending.”

A coach not involved in his recruitment offered the following comments about Sheehey to Louisville Courier-Journal columnist Rick Bozich: “Whoever gets him is getting a kid who has a chance to be a really special player. He’s freaky athletic. He can shoot. He’s a really good player.”

Sheehey’s comments last week that he was still thinking fall for a decision were indeed accurate. The wing from Sagemont High in Broward County (FL) will announce his college decision Monday morning according to the The Indiana Daily Student.

If he announces for the Hoosiers, Sheehey would join Victor Oladipo as Indiana’s second recruit in its 2010 recruiting class. The fall signing period ends this Wednesday.

According to a report by Dan Wolken of The Memphis Commercial Appeal, Marietta (GA) wing Jelan Kendrick has signed a Letter of Intent with Josh Pastner and the Memphis Tigers.

Though Memphis had been recruiting Kendrick hard, and he had been on campus as recently as last month for an unofficial visit, there were no indications he was ready to pull the trigger.

Instead, Kendrick sneaked into town Saturday afternoon and called an impromptu news conference at The Peabody, where he announced that he had indeed signed a National Letter of Intent with the Tigers.

Kendrick, a cousin of former Indiana fan favorite A.J. Moye, visited Bloomington two weekends ago and attended the Haunted Hall of Hoops. He’s the third top 20 recruit to sign with Memphis and his addition will likely push the Tigers ahead of Ohio State for the nation’s top class.

Surrounded by coaches, family and friends, Victor Oladipo will sign a Letter of Intent with Indiana at 3 pm today in the library at DeMatha High School in Hyattsville (MD). He is the only player expected to sign with the Hoosiers on the first day of the early signing period, which ends on November 18.

Oladipo, who committed to IU following a visit in early September, is excited to begin the next chapter of his basketball career in Bloomington.

“I feel like a weight has been lifted off my chest,” Oladipo told Inside the Hall. “I’m looking forward to playing with my future teammates and doing well this season with DeMatha as well.”

The 6-5 wing followed up his early September visit with a trip to Hoosier Hysteria in October to watch Indiana kick off its season. And he could return to Bloomington to take in a game this season if his schedule with DeMatha allows.

“It was fun,” Oladipo said of Hoosier Hysteria. “I’m looking forward to going back up there again and spending time with my teammates and the fans. I’m going to get both schedules and compare both of them and see if I can get out there for a game.”

Will Sheehey, a 6-6 wing from Sagemont High in Broward County (FL) who recently surfaced on Indiana’s recruiting radar, could sign a Letter of Intent during the early signing period that begins Wednesday and concludes on November 18.

“I’m still thinking fall, but I’m not sure,” Sheehey told Inside the Hall on Tuesday night.

Indiana is considered the school to beat for Sheehey after his official visit to Bloomington this past weekend. It was Sheehey’s first time visiting IU’s campus and the state of Indiana.

“It was great. Bloomington was great,” he said of the visit. “Coach Crean is a very intense guy, which is a good thing. I think they’re definitely on the rise and I learned a lot about Indiana.”

A couple of you caught the removal of David Williams from our recruiting classes table yesterday on Inside the Hall and asked for an explanation. It’s been rumored for quite a while that IU and Williams have parted ways, but it was all speculation until recently.

Yesterday, we learned that Williams would not sign with IU, which prompted our removal of his name from the site. Today, our friend and Herald-Times Sports Editor Chris Korman confirmed the news via The Hoosier Scoop:

I’ve spoken with Dwight Williams, the father of Florida wing David Williams, a couple of times on the phone today. Though Dwight is busy dealing with work, he did say that David will not sign a letter of intent with Indiana during the early signing period, which begins tomorrow.

David should have time to explain his decision soon, Dwight said.

Expect a Letter of Intent tomorrow from Victor Oladipo and continued pursuit of Will Sheehey, Jelan Kendrick and Josh Selby as Indiana looks to add to its 2010 class. We’ve updated the scholarship numbers page accordingly.

According to a report late on Friday evening from Rivals.com national recruiting analyst Jerry Meyer, Indiana will host five-star guard Josh Selby for an official visit on November 14. The Hoosiers will open the season on November 13 at Assembly Hall against Howard.

Selby, who is ranked No. 4 in the 2010 class by Rivals, is also considering Kansas, Kentucky, Miami (FL) and Syracuse. He took an unofficial visit to Kansas on the weekend of October 16 for “Late Night in the Phog.”

A former teammate of Victor Oladipo, Selby left DeMatha after his junior season and will play his senior season at Lake Clifton.

The latest comments from Dwight Williams, the father of David Williams, seem to indicate a level uncertainty on when or if he will sign a Letter of Intent with Indiana. Herald-Times Sports Editor Chris Korman posted this update last night on The Hoosier Scoop:

“He’s just thinking about having a good final year on the court and in the classroom,” Dwight Williams said. “He knows he’s going to college somewhere. Where? We know this is a process.”

Williams remains committed to Indiana, his father said.

Here’s what we know: Williams was not at Hoosier Hysteria and does not have an official visit to Bloomington scheduled. Neither Williams or his father has confirmed that he will sign with Indiana in November. Williams is not speaking to the media. And Indiana continues to recruit the 2010 class as evidenced by the recent offer to Will Sheehey and on-going courtship of Jelan Kendrick and Josh Selby.
