"We targeted Victor as a young man that we wanted to pursue as a part of our restoration of the Indiana program. He comes from two great programs in DeMatha Catholic High School and Team Takeover, and has been well-coached and more importantly well-raised. We feel Victor will provide athleticism and skill, but most importantly a toughness and will to compete that enhances our program from the moment he steps on campus."
"He made a name for himself with his ability to defend other elite players in the country and we feel that defensive mindset, along with his ever-improving offensive skills, will help him have a very strong career at Indiana. That toughness and will also applies academically, and we feel he will be an asset to IU as well."See below video of Victor in a dunk contest (note: he is the second dunker in the video).
Oladipo was the only signee for IU today. David Williams is not going to sign with IU, which had been rumored for a few weeks now. That commitment was kind of strange right from the get-go. Williams was unknown, IU offered, and he accepted that same day. This is a good thing for IU because there are some bigger fish out there that Crean needs to be going after.

it sounds like we have a good chance with sheehey who is ranked right around olidipo. if we can land kendrick or selby, watch out!
That last dunk would be a great out of bounds play. I sure love the athleticism that is coming to IU. I was impressed with what I say from teh St. Joe's game. Creek and Watford should be amazing in a few years. By the time those two and Hulls are juniors, we should be a legit contender for the Big Ten title. The future looks bright.
I really want Kendrick or Selby, it's time to land a big-time recruit. We have the foundation and now we need a stud.
Tom, great idea on the out of bounds play. By rule, it would be a turnover, but it would be the best damn turnover ever. There's another youtube video out there of Creek and Oladipo doing some dunks. Oladipo is definitely the better dunker, but I am pretty sure Mo would have won any 3-point contests. I can't wait for tomorrow night!
I'm not up on the latest recruiting, but we need to get a stud, like Eric Gordon, to kick the program back into elite status. I mean, I cant stand how easy it is for Kentucky to slither back to the top with Calipari. Here's hoping that Jonny Cal finally gets caught and brings Kentucky down in shambles.
