A couple quotes from Osterman, the IndyStar's IU beat writer:
"He was also Indiana’s best on-ball defender at his size, able to guard smaller when necessary or stretch his 6-7 frame out to cover the kinds of wing scorers that can control games in modern college basketball."
"He was as laterally and vertically explosive as anyone his size on IU’s roster."

Seems like a pretty big longshot for UD, but you could slot him right in and expect him to produce on day one. He'd likely fill some combination role primarily served by Landers and Mikesell; not sure you'd want him guarding centers regularly, but he'd be huge for the program.

You don’t suppose his previous coach would throw a bone to the coach’s previous employer, do you? Probably not, but I had to ask.
