Zeller and Watford returning to Indiana

Published by Source on April 10th, 2012

Two key pieces to Indiana’s success this past season will be back again next year to help the Hoosiers make a run at the National Title. Freshman big man Cody Zeller and junior wing Christian Watford announced Tuesday that they will both be back for the 2012-13 season to play for Tom Crean and the Hoosiers.

Zeller, the B1G co-Freshman of the Year and honorable mention AP All-American, had a brilliant season in which his post presence changed the entire complexion of the team on both sides of the court. The star forward averaged 15.6 points and 6.6 rebounds on a team that went to its first Sweet 16 since 2002. Zeller was the cornerstone of the team’s turn-around and will continue to have a major impact on their success moving forward. Many NBA experts projected Cody as a lottery pick, many placing him in the top-10.

All-American Championship Rosters Announced

Published by Source on March 1st, 2012

Earlier today, Scout.com’s Evan Daniels posted the rosters for the upcoming All-American Championship. The event, which takes place Sunday April 1st at the Lakefront Arena in New Orleans, features four teams of prep players from across the country. Players are divided onto the four teams (East, West, North and South) and two games are played (East-West at 3pm EST and North-South afterwards). For the second year in a row, the event is held in the same city and during the same weekend as the NCAA Final Four (March 31-April 2 at the Superdome in NOLA).

High school recruits are allowed participate in two sanctioned All-Star events per year. Several of the players in this event were ineligible for the McDonald’s All-American game, while others were simply not chosen.

The B1G is well-represented, with the North roster being comprised entirely of future B1G players and one more headed to Notre Dame. What is interesting about this event is that it is open to both seniors and juniors (7 of the 38 players are in the class of 2013). The full rosters follow the jump below, with all locally-notable prospects in BOLD.

Hoosier Hysteria Unofficial Guest List

Published by Source on October 13th, 2011

Plenty of prospects, some already committed to IU but most undecided, will be making their way to Bloomington on Saturday Oct. 15th for the annual Hoosier Hysteria “midnight madness” event. Normally, the festivities take place on Friday night, but with an away football game that weekend the event was moved to Saturday evening. Head coach Tom Crean has put together an impressive group of prospects for the weekend, including a large contingent from the state of Kentucky.

This move also coincides with the official visit of 2012 star Gary Harris (Fishers, IN) who will be making his official visit that Saturday. Normally, official visits get started on Friday but since Harris is a football player he will be busy that night.

Notably missing are Indiana’s two 2014 verbals James Blackmon Jr and Trey Lyles, who will be attending the USA Basketball Mini Camp in Colorado for the weekend. 2013 target BeeJay Anya has also been invited to the camp. 2014 prospect Jaquan Lyle (Evansville Bosse) considered attending, but as of Thursday night he is not planning on it. It is possible he will head up to Merrillville, IN for the Pangos All-Midwest camp instead.

UPDATE: These are guests of a different type, but IU Athletics has announced that college basketball TV broadcaster Bill Raftery will be at Assembly Hall as an announcer, and former Hoosiers/current NBA players Eric Gordon and DJ White will be in attendance.

LIST AFTER JUMP!

Gary Harris and Indiana’s scholarship situation

Published by Source on September 2nd, 2011

By: Kyle Dunne, Indiana contributor

Gary Harris is one of the few highly ranked, unsigned recruits remaining from the state of Indiana for the class of 2012. By numerous accounts, the 6’6’’ shooting guard’s top three schools consist of Indiana, Purdue and Michigan State. With many of his friends already committed to play for the Hoosiers, as well as Bloomington’s close proximity to his hometown of Fishers, it may be very hard for Harris to turn down the opportunity to play for Tom Crean. However, because of the already clouded scholarship situation, a Harris commitment to Indiana could make things complicated in Bloomington.

Assuming Matt Roth does not use his 5th year of eligibility at Indiana, two additional current Indiana players or committed players through the class of 2012 would need to vacate their scholarships for the 2012-2013 season. This could be accomplished through transfers, early entries into the NBA draft, a player offering to give up their scholarship and pay for their school or a player in the 2012 class reclassifying.

If Harris does commit to Indiana, only five of the Hoosiers’ 2012 recruiting class would be able to sign their letters of intent in November. While it is not my intention to speculate on which current players will or will not be with the team at this point next year, it is intriguing to look at the different scenarios. (more…)

Indiana commitment profiles – 2012 Frontcourt

Published by Source on August 19th, 2011

By: Kyle Dunne

On Monday, we looked at three of Tom Crean’s incoming Hoosier players. That backcourt preview featured Indianapolis products Yogi Ferrell, Jeremy Hollowell and Ron Patterson. Today we head to the front court as we profile the two remaining members of Indiana’s 2012 class. Both are foreign-born players but have deep Indiana connections as products of the A-HOPE program and Indiana Elite.

 Hanner Perea

6-8 * 210 * PF

La Lumiere (La Porte, IN)

Rivals (5* #15) – Scout (4* #37)- ESPN (4* #48)

 

6’8’’ Colombia-native Hanner Perea has unbelievable raw athletic ability. At any given moment he has the potential to electrify his team and the crowd with any of a ridiculous array of dunks. While his back to the basket game needs some development, once Hanner is around the rim he knows how to finish. On the defensive side of the ball, Hanner is a tremendous shot blocker and alters numerous other shots that he isn’t able to get to. His leaping ability contributes to his exceptional rebounding. His post up defense does have room for improvement but Hanner should be an immediate upgrade to the Hoosiers on both sides of the court. Hanner currently attends La Lumiere High School in La Porte, Indiana. (more…)
