The NCAA has cleared Indiana freshman guard Maurice Creek to play this upcoming season, according to SportingNews.com’s Mike DeCourcy.
Creek is academically eligible and will be critical to coach Tom Crean’s efforts to rebuild the Hoosiers program. Ranked in the top 50, Creek might be the key recruit that helps the Hoosiers improve on a six-win season.
Crean took over last season after Indiana ousted embattled coach Kelvin Sampson. He immediately purged the roster and started from scratch, making this recruiting class one of the most important to arrive in Bloomington in years.
