If instant impact freshman Cody Zeller and hero of the Kentucky game Christian Watford return, and former star wing Maurice Creek is the same player he was before injury, IU is going to be a juggernaut. They have a very solid core returning, and the 3rd rated recruiting class coming in. The Hoosiers have five solid … [Read more...] about Indiana Hoosiers have another strong class, led by Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell
