I think IU probably has a very favorable impression with his family. His brother Christian had a lot of success at Indiana. He was one of the most clutch college players I've ever seen, had 2-3 game winners in his career and his last second buzzer beater against #1 Kentucky is legendary with IU fans. Google "the wat shot."
The only things that IU has working against it are that Crean is no longer there and the program is no longer a top 3 team in the country. Fans and boosters might have hated Crean but he was a players coach. The teams that Christian was on with Cody Zeller and Victor Oladipo were some of the best rosters in school history. This is not an Isaiah Stokes situation.
