Up until yesterday, Brown's recruitment seemed on a typical path toward Indiana. Then it wasn't.
In a recruitment that seemed totally on track for Indiana fans just 24 hours ago, the momentum of Tom Crean's 2016 recruiting class just took a bit of a hit with the following news:
Bruce Brown, a four-star combo guard out of the heralded Vermont Academy, had been methodically making his way through the recruitment process. Over the past few months, he had taken visits to IU, Xaxier, UMass, St. John's, and Miami. Just last week, it was thought that Brown would wait until the spring to make his decision.
