There were rumors about this the last few days, and now it appears to be true. Despite a recent visit to Indiana, Moses Morgan, rated No. 138  by Rivals in the 2010 class, has committed to DePaul, according to Jody Demling of the Louisville Courier-Journal.

Morgan visited DePaul over the weekend.

Morgan’s father, Winston, played for IU and Bob Knight during the 80′s.

This certainly doesn’t have the impact of Kyrie Irving taking IU out of the running, and with the scholarship situation tight, Tom Crean and crew still have the opportunity of snagging a better recruit, possibly out of the vaunted 2011 class.

Still, it’s a bit surprising, considering he seemed to be leaning IU’s way.

Moses Morgan, a 6-5 wing from Palo Verde High in Las Vegas (NV), took an official visit to Indiana this past weekend. Morgan is rated No. 138 nationally in the 2010 class by Rivals.com and is the son of former IU player Winston Morgan. Inside the Hall caught up with Morgan for a Q & A.

On his visit to Bloomington:

“It was a great experience going out there and seeing the campus. I was real impressed. Everybody knew who I was, knew who my dad was and they’re real basketball fans. I got to see how the team practiced, the individual workouts. I was real impressed with how hard they went and how Coach Crean pushed them. I got to spend time with Verdell Jones, Jeremiah, Christian. The team went to the football game and we went to dinner a couple of times with Coach Crean. It was a pretty good experience.”

On upcoming visits to other schools:

“I’m going to DePaul on Saturday. I did have Arizona State, but they just got a commitment, so I’m not sure I’m going to be going there. So it’s just DePaul right now.”

On the schools still involved in his recruitment besides Indiana and DePaul:

“There are still other schools. I’ve got Minnesota and Clemson.”

The last time we caught up with Moses Morgan in early May, there was one school at the top of his list: Indiana.

And the 2010 wing and son of former IU player Winston Morgan is still high on the Hoosiers.

“They are still recruiting me very hard,” Morgan told Inside the Hall from the NY2LASports.com Summer Jam in Milwaukee. “I have a very high interest in them and they have a very high interest in me.”

Morgan is playing this summer for the ICAN All-Stars and hopes to fit in a visit to Bloomington to check out the IU campus soon.

“Probably the middle of August,” Morgan said of a timetable for a possible trip.

If 2010 Las Vegas guard Moses Morgan needs an opinion on the basketball program in Bloomington, he need not go far for advice. Morgan’s father, Winston, played for Bob Knight and the Hoosiers in the 80′s after a prep career at Anderson Madison-Heights.

And now the younger Morgan, the No. 68 player in the 2010 class according to Rivals.com, has the Hoosiers front and center in his recruitment.

“Right now, Indiana is the school that’s on top of my list,” Morgan told Inside the Hall. “It sounds like the best fit for me right now that I could see myself playing in.”

Despite the fact that his father played for the Hoosiers, Morgan hasn’t followed the program closely until recently.

“I haven’t really been following Indiana, but since they’ve started to recruit me, I’m following up on them and seeing what they’re about since Coach Crean has been there,” Morgan said. “My Dad always tells me I need to go to a school that’s good academically. He tells me a lot about Indiana’s academics. He also said the campus is nice.”
