Hummel highly sought

Other Indiana juniors made a jump into the national rankings.

JuJuan Johnson, 6-9 forward from Franklin Central, bolted into the nationals rankings, at No. 42 by scout.com and No. 61 by rivals.com.

Robbie Hummel, a 6-8 forward from Valparaiso, is No. 60; Fort Wayne North's 6-4 guard Eshaunte Jones is No. 64; and East Chicago Central's E'twaun Moore is No. 71, according to Rivals.

Hummel is being recruited by both Indiana and Purdue.

As of Saturday, Hummel said he had offers from Valparaiso, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Purdue, Indiana, Iowa, Xavier, Wisconsin-Green Bay, North Carolina State and Charlotte.

Soon, there may be more. Illinois and Michigan State are starting to make a push while Arizona, Arkansas, Duke and Stanford have show more interest.

Hummel said he hasn't started to trim his list yet but will after taking visits this fall.

"I know I'm going to go to Purdue. I know I'll go to Notre Dame and North Carolina to visit N.C. State and Charlotte and maybe Duke. It's up in the air right now," Hummel said.

Even though Illinois may have some work to do, the Illini have more connections than any other program. Hummel's father, Glenn, graduated from Illinois, as did two uncles and an aunt.

His grandfather, John, was the associated head of the chemistry department before retiring. His grandparents still live in Champaign, Ill., and are season ticket holders for both football and basketball.

Glenn Hummel said he won't push his son to attend his alma mater.

"It would be great, but I'll be happy if it's IU, Purdue or whatever he wants to pick," Glenn said. "I'm not pushing him one way or another.

"Personally, I'd like to see him stay in the Midwest, but he's been getting interest from the ACC schools, and kids see that on ESPN all the time and are intrigued by that . . . Ultimately, it's his own choice."

Hummel made a major impression in mid July at the Peach Jam in South Carolina. He played point guard at times, helping bring the ball up the court against pressing teams and was able to guard power forwards on defense.

44820...is Hummel still an option with Diebler on board? Figuring 5 or so schollies for next year, Diebler, Lauderdale, and Koufos seem to be locks. Obviously they are going to want a 1/2 guard, like an Eric Gordon. Do you think they would also take a shot at Hummel, or will they back off now that Diebler is in the fold?

wadc....I don't think he will be an option with Diebler on board at this point...

I posted this a few posts back...

I don't think that Hummel will be getting much interest from OSU due to the recent developments with another recruit.......they are similar players in my opinion. I don't think that Hummel has been showing much interest in OSU anyways.

with Diebler and Lauderdale being high priorities as well as guys like Sanders and Buford/Roe in the '08 class, I can't see the staff being too shaken up if they are out of the running for Hummel...
