There was an IU hat on the table but it looked like something from the Mallory era, wasn't even the approved school logo and color scheme. I think a family member got it at Wal-Mart on the way in. He wasn't coming here. Bell wasn't an IU fan. He also wanted to stay close to home. OSU might have been a serious option had they not had their coaching turmoil and decided to stay on the kid but they dropped him like a lead balloon several months ago.
Some of this may go back to Warren Central's coach, Jayson West, who coached Tre Roberson and saw what happened with Tre at IU under Wilson. Don't believe he is a big IU guy.
