RECRUITING SANCTIONS STILL IN PLACE
These are the recruiting sanctions facing new IU basketball coach Tom Crean, left over from those the school self-imposed on former coach Kelvin Sampson. They are scheduled to last until July 31, the end of the recruiting year. In addition, IU docked itself one scholarship for the 2008-09 season.RECRUITING SANCTIONS STILL IN PLACE
• Off-campus recruiting days: Crean has none left. Under IU's self-imposed sanctions, Sampson was limited to 14 (four in the fall and 10 in the spring), and when he resigned Feb. 22, he had used 10. As IU's interim coach, Dan Dakich used up the other four. When Crean's staff is in place, two of the three assistants will be permitted to recruit off campus.
• Official visits by recruits: These are visits paid for by the school, and IU has none left. IU had reduced that number from 12 to six, and Sampson and his staff used all of them. That means the only way Crean can get players on campus will be through unofficial visits, which are paid for by the prospect. As with other schools, these can happen anytime except during recruiting "dead periods," during which coaches are allowed only to write or telephone recruits.
• Phone calls: Crean's coaching staff can call high school seniors only once a week -- with Crean himself allowed to call them only once every other week -- until May 21, the end of the spring signing period. After that, regular rules would apply, allowing the coaching staff, including Crean, to call seniors twice a week. With juniors, for Crean, it's once every other month through July 31 (the norm is once a month).

If Buzz saves the day with TT it awesome start. I have my fingers crossed. More importantly, getting Wilson would be the biggest signing for MU in years. Hometown guy and he'd look great in MU jersey.
