BLOOMINGTON, Ind. --Indiana University men's basketball coach Tom Crean has announced that Jordan Fuchs has been added to the Hoosiers roster and will be with the team tonight when it plays at Maryland. Fuchs is a tight end for the IU football team and played as prep at Christ The King High School in New York.
Tom Crean on Jordan Fuchs:
"Jordan is someone we've been aware of for some time now and had he not gotten injured in the Purdue game and had to recover from that we would have brought over to evaluate earlier. We worked with him since last week and with Coach Wilson's blessing we are adding Jordan at this time. He has considerable basketball experience and brings size, athleticism, toughness and a tremendous competitive attitude."
