Willis to be a Hoosier!

Tomorrow at 3PM, Darius Willis will announce something that Hoosier fans have longed to hear since we began recruiting this guy. I'm a Hoosier!

Lots of rumors came out during his visit that he told Will Patterson, his host for the weekend, that he would commit to Indiana. Since then, I can confirm that he did tell the coaching staff the same thing and tomorrow he will announce for IU.

Coming into the weekend he was pretty much down to IU and Purdue, but the IU visit sealed the deal with him. He really has liked IU for sometime, but held out committing due to the status of Coach Lynch. Bill Lynch started recruiting Darius first and built that relationship with him. During his many unoffiicial visits to IU, Darius really fell in love with the whole environment surrounding the resergence of this program. This past weekend, just sealed the deal, as his parents had just as good a time as he did on campus. While he said all the "PC" things to the media, it was obvious where his heart was longing to be.

For the record, Darius is ranked as the #6 Tailback in the country according to SuperPreps. He's a 4-star type of kid that can come in and play next season, if not start. He's a game chaning back with speed (4.4) and power (210 lbs). He gets stronger as the game goes along, which makes him even more special.

Hopefully, we will also be learning the fate of Tyler Altedona in the next 24 hours too. As for now, he's still committed to Troy, but he's made some suggestions to the staff that he'll be denouncing to Troy and committing to IU. We'll see what happens, but the next 24 hours should bring a lot of excitement to the "shooting rocket".
