In an interesting article in The Hoosier Times,
Jared Jeffries talks about his recruitment, Luke Recker's accident, basketball
and perspective. Unfortunately for most of the other schools involved, he
also talks about how IU assistant Mike Davis has transcended the coach/recruit
relationship and has become a close personal friend. That can be the
deciding factor. Of course it can work in your favor in other situations,
too, but in the case of Jeffries, it's a huge IU advantage and may be tough to
overcome.
Everything else aside, meaning hoops, he sounds like a neat kid. We were really impressed and we see why so many people want him.
