Agreed, it would be great to get a 2012 commit -- but I'd sure as heck hope we get two or three 2011 commits soon!

Seems like a great high schooler.  Who exactly is Dan Poneman?

DeJuan would be PERFECT for a school that has had DJ (also from Indiana), DJO, and briefly, DJ Newbill!

- Seems like a really active body in the block.
- He's used to playing in the post, which is ideal for him to step in as a starting center. :p
- He needs to work on his mid-range and outside game. Not too many highlights of him knocking down the consistent open jumper.
