All, Recruiting Jason McIntyre April 17th. 2012, 12:05pm

Eric Gordon’s got a brother in the 8th grade named Eron, and he’s already 6-foot-1. Indiana coach Tom Crean has already offered Eron a scholarship. Eron is “unofficially” visiting Purdue Wednesday. According to the Indianapolis Star:

Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Xavier and Wisconsin have also started to recruit Gordon.

Reminder: Eron Gordon hasn’t completed 8th grade and the Big Ten is drooling. [Star]

Is this a move to get him to sign with the Pacers this offseason? Draw your own conclusions.

6’1″ isn’t that tall for an 8th grader.

Completely unrelated to this post, but this may be one of the most glorious photos ever and the story is rather hilarious as well (not the bombing threats, the transgendered couple aspect).
They played their interview on the radio this morning, and they both speak with fake Scottish/Irish accents.

I’m surprised this story has not gotten more national attention (not the threats, these people) that picture is FANTASTIC.

I was 6’1″ in 8th grade too. Unfortunately, I only grew another inch. Just because the dude is 6’1″ in 8th grade doesn’t mean he is going to keep growing. If any recruiter is projecting him to be any bigger than his brother he is taking quite the gamble.

Tom Crean knows if he keeps in state talent in state, he will have a good program. 6’1″ in eight grade playing guard and can dunk. That is pretty good.

When I first read that, I assumed based on the picture that the Katherine “lady” was transgendered. Turns out it was the Seamus “guy” that is transgendered.

I remain confused…I’ll just assume Justin Beiber is dating Carrot Top’s mother.

Indiana coach Tom Crean has already offered Eron a scholarship.
Dumb question, but if he accepts, and doesn’t run afoul of the law or academic standards, is he now guaranteed four years as long as he plays, even if he gets worse at basketball or doesn’t grow anymore?

So it’s a girl and a guy dating. What’s the big deal about that? Like a gay guy and a lesbian hooking up… perfectly natural.

Crean can pull back on his offer. They did it with Matt Carlino when he moved here.
