Around the Hall: Friday Links
I usually wouldn’t throw a link dump at you, but since it’s Friday and there is quite a bit of good information floating around the Web today, here goes:
6’7″ forward Kevin Jones from Mount Vernon, NY is setting up his official visits and IU is going to get one. Jones is the No. 79 player in the class of 2008 according to Rivals. {Zagsblog}
Courier-Journal recruiting guru Jody Demling talks about Matt Roth’s commitment to Indiana and what effect it could have on Tyler Zeller coming to Bloomington. {C-J Recruiting Blog}
There are quite a bit of rumors about A.J. Ratliff’s eligibility floating around on various message boards, but nothing official has surfaced yet. Chris Korman discuses the rumor, briefly. {Hoosier Scoop}
Illinois freshman Quinton Watkins may be ineligible. For some reason, I don’t feel sorry for good ol’ Bruce. {Gatehouse News Service}
Sort of off-topic from IU hoops, but worth a mention is that IU has once again been named one of the top 10 party schools in the land. Oh how proud my alma mater makes me. {MSN via the Princeton Review}
