I've got a good feeling about the youngest Zeller. We were in with him early & I think there's got to be a part of him that wants to be the only brother to attend IU. I agree, anyone who goes to Iowa's got to have their head checked & Butler's got a good program but I wonder if they can really offer the same sort of exposure, level of competition, etc, that IU, PU and Florida can promise...it'll be interesting to see how this plays out for sure. If we can take only 1 who would it be: Zeller - or - Plumlee?

I'd love it if they both chose IU. Consider a potential starting lineup with those two and Watford on the wing, Irving or Hulls at the point and Creek or Poole at shooting guard. That lineup would present all sorts of matchup problems and could really play up tempo without giving up any size. In fact it would be relatively big by college standards. Then you add Capo, Elston, Pritchard, Carlino and Jones off the bench. Wow.

Agree with most of what you've said here, but there is still plenty of time for other schools to recruit Zeller. And I expect that they will.

Looking at Zellers list, I think we have a good shot....

1. Iowa - he has absolutely no reason to go there
2. Butler - Love the program and coach, has built a good name, and has a good shot in this state
3. Purdue - Not sure if he is a good fit for PU's grind it out style, but painter is a good recruiter
4. Florida - I don't think Billy D will be there much longer.

Screw it. Let's take them both. They both play hard and get up and down the floor, and still will grow and develop over the next couple of years. I'd love to see a couple of twin towers in candy stripes!
