Three incoming Indiana University men's basketball recruits and the nation's top two prep players in the Class of 2007 are scheduled to play four exhibition games in Indiana next week.
The games will feature IU 6-10 center Ben Allen, 6-6 shooting guard Joey Shaw and 6-3 point guard Earl Calloway,
along with three high school players from Cincinnati's North College Hill: 6-4 shooting guard O.J. Mayo, 6-5 forward Billy Walker and 6-10 center Keenan Ellis. Mayo and Walker are the top two prep juniors, according to rivals.com.
Games are scheduled for Milan High School on Monday, Ben Davis on Tuesday, Marion on Wednesday and IU-Southeast in New Albany on Thursday. Tipoff is 7 all nights; admission is $5 for adults, $3 for students.
Mayo, Walker and Ellis, No. 50 in the Class of 2007, have said they plan to play together in college and are considering Indiana among a long list of possible destinations. Ellis began his high school career at Cathedral.
The three won't be on the same team in the exhibitions. Only two players from a high school can be on the same team in a non-scholastic game played after Aug. 1, according to Ohio High School Athletic Association rules. All three played for the D-I Greyhounds, considered the second-best AAU team this summer behind the Greg Oden-led Spiece Indy Heat.
Former Arlington star Deonta Vaughn, who is beginning prep school this fall in Cincinnati, also may play, according to Criss Beyers, one of the directors of the AAU program Indiana Elite, which is promoting the exhibitions.
According to NCAA rules, incoming freshmen are allowed to play with high school prospects until the fall semester begins. For IU, that's Aug. 29.
