Him and Moore are the keys we shouldn't need them next year but would be nice to have some talent sophomores after we lose a large number of upperclassmen.

Durham is one of three 2017 IU signess and the first one to re-commit to playing for IU. Miller met with Lincolnshire (IL) forward Justin Smith this afternoon, and the family plans to take some time to digest everything, and Miller is scheduled to meet with Hatboro-Horsham (PA) 6-foot-10 forward Clifton Moore on Sunday.

Well, what the h*ll is CAM doing today? He doesn't take a day off, so he must be visiting someone today.

If CAM is going hard after all three (and by all indications, Smith and Durham are on board), he must have a strong indication three guys on the current roster with eligibility remaining won't return, right? I'm hoping he has more of a plan than Crean seemed to in the roster shuffling ... That May 24 deadline to stay in the draft or return to school makes things really, really sticky ...

Is it legal for a guy to give up his scholly if he has the financial means to pay his own way? Didn't a Louisville player do that a few years ago to make room?

Bryce Alford did it this year. I think to get Leaf

I believe so. In fact, if memory serves, when Crean oversigned with "The Movement," rumors were circulating that one of the scholarship players or one of the signees (Yogi, perhaps?) whose parents had the means to pay for college would give up his scholarship and essentially, become a walk-on. Don't know if that's true or not, but it was out there. (Of course, Patterson being denied entrance into school "solved" that problem).

Then it must be extremely far away from the gray area if the literal coach's son can do it lol

It helps, of course, that Alford is making millions. And at many schools, kids of school employees or faculty usually get a break on tuition (maybe even half price). That's why I always thought it was wasteful that Pat Knight was on scholarship at IU. For one, he wasn't a Big Ten-caliber player. For two, his daddy made millions. For three, he would've received a break on tuition anyway.

I think it's legal but keep in mind only Hartman and Gelon are Indiana kids and could maybe handle the cost as in-state students.  All of our other players are out-of-state and the financial burden would likely be much too high.

Those 2 were the ones I had in mind. That said I have no idea if they come from situations that could comfortably handle it. Just an idea I was throwing out there.

Would Hartman be eligible for Grad school funding?

Can confirm.

Kyle Kuric (from Evansville) gave up his scholarship his senior year at Louisville and played as a walkon.

I worked for the parent company of Mad Mushroom for awhile.....the Btown location went away when the landlord wanted to redevelop the property it sat on. They stil exist at Purdue and UK.

TB coming back is a big deal for us next year. He had an okay year but was really not ready to be playing on the perimeter. We should quite honestly dominate with Bryant at the 4 and Davis at the 5. How long has it been since we had a killer front court combo?
