That is Jeff Olaphant

Yeah, I don’t know why, but it just didn’t look like him to me. Age continuing to do it’s thing, I guess.

Don't believe so.  From what I read he was a scholarship player.  Only played one year.

We were both half-right. He was a manager that busted his tail and Knight liked him. He eventually got to suit up and served as a human victory cigar.  Maybe Knight ended up giving him an unused scholly…I don’t remember but it wouldn’t have been unheard of for RMK to do something like that.

From what I remember RMK didn't usually have walk ons at IU

I think you’re right…which is, in part, why that kid stood out. He even made a sportscenter highlight, iirc.

Cool!  Here he is today -- orthopedist in Shelbyville.  Mentions that he was a scholarship player at Indiana.
