But a Saturday night game with Covenant Christian, a 75-42 win for Park Tudor, kept the duo from making the trip to Assembly Hall for Indiana’s 73-72 win over No. 1 Kentucky.
Inside the Hall caught up with both Ferrell (five points) and Bluiett (15 points) on Saturday for their reaction to the rout of Covenant Christian and also some thoughts on the Hoosiers knocking off the Wildcats:

Indiana’s football season opened on Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium, but in the hours before kickoff back in Bloomington the basketball coaching staff was busy hosting a prospect near the top of the program’s wish list for the 2014 class.
Trevon Bluiett, who helped lead Park Tudor to a state championship last spring, took an unofficial trip to the IU campus and came away impressed.
“It went real well, really well,” Bluiett told Inside the Hall on Tuesday. “We went up there Saturday evening. All of the coaches were there. We just sat around the conference table and he (Coach Crean) was just telling me how important it was to get me to come to Indiana and how important I am.”
The 6-foot-5, 190-pound forward, who led all scorers with 21 points in the Class 2A title game as a freshman, said he was appreciative of the staff’s message during his visit.
“I just thought that felt good that even though they have a lot of commits, how they still care for me to come there,” he said. “That meant a lot.”
Indiana was the first school to offer Bluiett a scholarship last September and the Hoosiers already hold commitments from a pair of his Spiece Indy Heat AAU teammates, James Blackmon Jr. and Trey Lyles.
The Park Tudor sophomore said he keeps in regular contact with Lyles and added that he could see himself playing with both guys in college.

With the July evaluation period in the books, it’s time for our first crack at ranking the ten best prospects in Indiana’s class of 2014. If you have any questions about the rankings, feel free to address them in the comments.
10. Bryant McIntosh, Greensburg: The 6-foot-2 McIntosh is a reliable decision maker whose biggest strength is his shooting. McIntosh is a smart and unselfish player that distributes the ball efficiently but at the same time looks to score himself. He can get past defenders on the bounce and get to the rim, but also scores using a crafty floater and pull-up jump shot from mid-range. McIntosh is sound defensively, but could look to improve his strength and quickness to help him as a man-to-man defender.
9. Jeremie Tyler, Indianapolis Tech: One of the best long-range shooters in the class, Tyler has a quick release on his jump shot and can fill it up from deep when he gets on a roll. The 6-foot-1 combo guard also looks to break down the defense off the bounce by getting past his man and finding teammates for open looks on the perimeter. He buys in on the defensive side of the ball and also possesses good quickness which makes him a threat to defend either guard spot reliably. One area Tyler could look to improve on is looking to score more often off the dribble.
8. P.J. Thompson, Brebeuf Jesuit: Thompson is a heady point guard who makes good decisions and knows how to run a team. At 5-foot-8 he is undersized, but has a nice burst of quickness and is a solid ball handler. One of his biggest strengths is the ability to penetrate and dish the ball off to teammates for open looks. Thompson is also a capable 3-point shooter and can make the defense pay if they fail to check him on the perimeter. Besides improving his strength, Thompson’s biggest area for improvement is expanding his ability to score off the bounce.
