I dont like the Hoosiers at all and I think Sampson is shady, but unfortunately this is common in college recruiting-both football and basketball. I read where Nick Saban (i know, his word is air tight) is openly recruiting 3 guys that have verbally committed to LSU. It happens all the time. In this day of recruiting nothing is set in stone until they get signature. After the game Jay Bilas made a great point- Bruce Weber can only truly complain if it were the reverse of the situation (i.e Gordon signed with IU and wanted to go to Illinois) and he wouldve told Gordon that they werent going to recruit him, then he has a reason to bitch and moan. I doubt that wouldve been the case.
