Title: MU was in on a 7 footer apparently
Post by: ChicosBailBonds on April 20, 2014, 05:11:31 PM

Sounds like a project.  Jeremiah April, listed anywhere from 6'10 to 7'0.  I can't find any ranking on him anywhere from rivals, 247, or scout.  ESPN had him as a 2 star.

His high school coach said he had offers from Washington State, Arizona State, Marquette and Indiana.  Missouri on him as well.  Never can tell if a kid truly has an offer or not, so who knows but the article says MU offered.  He committed to IU yesterday apparently.  Never knew IU or MU were involved until an email I got this morning. 

Despite the low rating, he had those offers.  Probably just a body.  He would have been able to play this year which is probably why schools were on him.

Indiana can't recruit bigs.

They can recruit them but they don't stay too long!

Fortunately, Wojo's job at Duke was working with the bigs. I hope this translates to more bigs at MU!
