He spent two years attending Indiana (not on bb team), so he's listed as a redshirt sophomore.

Found his highlight video ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eu-_07w1yg (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eu-_07w1yg)

Googled him and the first thing that came up is a highlight video from 2011-2012. It says he'll be attending Indiana.

Good. This should allow Wojo to limit a Derrick to 10MPG.

I've heard rumblings from people in the know that is he is already getting frustrated riding the pine while Derrick Wilson plays 35mpg, and is considering transferring to UWGB at the end of the season.

This is kind of useful, I guess...but could you find any highlights of him practicing?

So we're adding two Indiana transfers for our next game? 

Did he try out for a walk-on spot at IU but get Creaned?

Interesting that in the JS blog Matt indicated that he stood with the team at the WI game.  I recall that some on here had noticed an extra guy.  I'll bet this was all in the works by then including the prospective departures.  Welcome to the team.

He was the 1,303 ranked recruit for 2012 according to maxpreps.  That may seem high but for players rated between 975 - 1,350, there really isn't that much difference in talent.  So essentially, Wojo has added a top 1000 recruit.  :o

And really, can there be much difference between No. 750 and No. 1000? I say not.

And obviously, if you're in the top 750, you're not all that far from being in the 500s.

And if you you're No. 500-something, you're just a stone's throw from 400.

And so on and so on and ... move over Henry Ellenson!!!

Don't you know?  As soon as Thaus starts taking 20 minutes a game from Derrick we will be in contention for a conference championship.  You know, with our backlog of Top 100 recruits that are just waiting until Derrick sits down before demonstrating their brilliance!
