Crean will watch Aaron Cosby on Thursday; IU and Minnesota lead

Started by Alex · 9 months ago

A couple of days ago, I wrote about Indiana offering a scholarship to Jeffersontown’s Aaron Cosby and now Indiana coach Tom Crean and assistant Tim Buckley will travel to Louisville to watch Cosby in an open gym on Thursday.

Cosby is already planning an unofficial visit to IU this coming weekend and he’ll be in Bloomington […] ... Continue reading »

    Yes, he is walking-on. Won't be eligible until the second semester. We'll try to put something together soon on the walk-ons.

    He'll take an official to Indiana, but it looks like he'll end up at Villanova, Kansas or Wake Forest.

    If we get Crosby do we lose out on Teague for the next year?

    Not necessarily. IU doesn't have any recruits committed for 2010 and the staff is looking to pick up some commitments that make sense for that class. Cosby is a little bit under the radar because he sat out last season due to a transfer. As someone who has watched him play and has talked to several people who know him well, I can say that he's got a chance to be a very good player and is an intelligent kid who does things the right way. You can never have too many of those.

    Yea, I've heard several people say Villanova is the team to beat for Cheek, but a man can dream ehh? The person i'm looking up right now is Deshaun Thomas, he goes to school about 15 minutes from where I live, so yea. He says his commitment to Ohio State is soft, and he utterly dominates anyone he is facing, including my high school :P

    Saw him over the summer and while the talent was there, he didn't seem like a guy who goes after it 100% all of the time. Maybe it was just the AAU scene, but I've had a few other people tell me the same thing.

    I'm pretty sure the reason he doesn't put much effort into it is because he doesn't have to. The level of competition he plays with is lower compared to many other recruits, but perhaps i am wrong.

    We might not even try to recruit him, I've heard his 8th grade coach say when he entered high school, he couldn't read, which means his grades aren't going to be great, wonder how Crean will interpret this.

    And yes, i do live in Fort Wayne
