Jordan Fuchs to play?

[LazOffTheBench 3,638]

Having a banger in the paint is always a good thing. We need all the help we can get, especially on D and rebounding.

@MikeMillerHT: Fuchs had basketball offers from Iowa State, SMU and Florida before committing to IU for football. #iubb

Iowa State and Florida, not to mention Larry Brown's SMU? DANG!!!!!

[LazOffTheBench 3,638]

Hey, he's Hoiberg-approved! I love it.

 

And Larry Brown-approved!

[HoosiersLoveBanners 797]

Wow, this is surprising and welcome news! My guess is that Priller and April will transfer, hopefully

[Hovadipo 56,396]

Hova, very good intelligence there! You should work for the FBI.

I can neither confirm nor deny whether I do already.

[djsalway 4,161]

Could be a big boost for us not only this year, but in the future. Don't have to use a scholly, but he could turn into a solid player. Love this.

And Billy Donovan!

Crean's comments via Peegs: "Jordan is someone we've been aware of for some time now and had he not gotten injured in the Purdue game and had to recover from that we would have brought over to evaluate earlier. We worked with him since last week and with Coach Wilson's blessing we are adding Jordan at this time. He has considerable basketball experience and brings size, athleticism, toughness and a tremendous competitive attitude."

Should be the second guy off the bench tonight

So.... He does play anytime soon?

[Banksyrules 4,814]

Am I being punked?

[Hovadipo 56,396]

I honestly don't see it tonight. Maybe Sunday.

[djsalway 4,161]

I honestly don't see it tonight. Maybe Sunday.

 

Yeah, only way I see it is if it's a blowout or Emmitt, HMP, and CH all get in foul trouble.

[LazOffTheBench 3,638]

He's with the team. I think he will get a few minutes tonight.

[Hovadipo 56,396]

It's hard to follow his recruitment due to it being in 2 sports, but here's his rivals page. I don't know if these are football and basketball schools mixed, or just basketball. If it's just basketball, he had some really nice offers.

He's only been practicing for about a week. Tough to adjust to the college game with a week's worth of practice.

Do you debut him in College Park, or save it for a home game?
