Recruiting class preview: 2011

To try to make the time of this year try to go by quicker, I want to do a preview of all of the recruiting classes for the enjoyment of you and I. Today I will do the 2011 class.
The 2011 class consists of Cody Zeller and Austin Etherington as most of you should know. There is a possibility that the Hoosiers add another player (most likely Walter Pitchford) but there is probably under a fifty percent chance of that happening. Here's the scouting report.
Cody Zeller: He is highly regarded as a top twenty, five star, and blue chip player. He is a 6'11" power forward that gos to Washington High School in Washington, Indiana. I'm sure. 99.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of you have heard of him. He runs well for his size and has a nice jumper that extends out to the three-point line. He has an excellent mid-range shot and is a true post player. He will step into IU and become their tallest player (thanks a lot NCAA). He should be a pretty good upgrade over Indiana's post defenders. He is a MASSIVE upgrade offensively in the post and will push Christian Watford back to his natural position of the small forward. He should come in to Bloomington in the fall of 2011 and instantly make an impact and probably start. He is looked at as Indiana's program changer right now and he is (basically) all that is ever talked about when Indiana plays on ESPN. He pretty much is the reason Yogi Ferrell comitted. He is the brother of UNC standout, Tyler Zeller and former Notre Dame player Luke Zeller.
Austin Etherington: He is regarded as a three or four star prospect. He is a sharp-shooting small forward out of Hamilton Heights High School. As I said before he is a sharp-shooter, especially from three, who's battled a couple injuries and has sort of fallen off the map of recruiting boards. The injuries aren't anything to be worried about if you are concerned with that statement. He really may be the most underrated player in his class. His coach described him as a John Diebler type of player who could really contribute for four years at IU. He is brothers with 2013 target Alex Etherington.
