Most Obscure IUBB Scholarship Player

[Stuhoo 81,971]

Here’s a good way to pass the time with 13 days off.

Name your most obscure Indiana basketball scholarship player. No Walk-ons and the player has to have been at Indiana at least one full season.

So no Ivan Renko 

How about Guy Micheal.  There were a lot under David who never planned out as well

At least one full season! Bonus points if anyone can name a four year player who is a complete mystery. It’s subjective and @Demo is the judge

Going with with Mark Haymore for 2 reasons: 1) The guy was there 2 full seasons. 2) He scored the final basket in the ‘76 NC game, which is a classic IUBB trivia question, and yet almost no one remembers him.

That’s a great qualifier. How about Tony Brown? Played 4 years. Was on a NC team. Was actually in the rotation for a couple of years. Probably haven’t thought about him since the day he left.

Daryl Pegram is a candidate. 6’9” forward on 2002-2003 team that played a total of 6 minutes and made 1 basket at IU before transferring.
On a positive note he was a perfect 1-1 from the field.

Our more…ahem, experienced…posters will be able to come up with more obscure names than us whippersnappers. 

I’ll throw Austin Etherington’s name into the ring.

That’s a nice one. The rest of the Cody Zeller class.

Am I misremembering or was he a somewhat highly regarded HS underclassman?

Of recent. 
 

Max Hoetzel/Montana

Grant Gelon

 

2 of the most obscure recruitments I’ve witnessed.

And there ought to be some sort of bonus points for Hoetzel changing his name.

Ended up at 139 in his class on 247, so not a total nobody, but I’m not sure about as an underclassman. I think his brother may have been a bit higher rated especially early on?

David Minor on the 87 championship team as well as Toney Freeman.

[Hovadipo 56,970]

Ryan Burton!

He might have actually walked on, but I know he played quite a bit. 

[Demo 20,545]

Going through the cobwebs in my mind is making wrapping go so much better, 

Kind of proud of this one: Chris Rowles. Got some minutes as a freshman. 

[hoosierdogg 3,215]

Kyle Taber.  5 seasons, four coaches. Initially a walk on, ended up as a scholarship player.
