Jeffersonville senior-to-be Kegan Clark has scheduled unofficial college visits to Eastern Illinois and Western Kentucky.

Clark, a 6-foot-3 forward, will visit Eastern Illinois on June 16 and Western Kentucky on Aug. 7-8. He also will participate in each school’s “elite camp” with other potential recruits while on campus.

The entire Jeffersonville team participated last weekend in a one-day high school team event at Wright State, another Division I program showing solid interest in Clark.

New Albany reeled off six straight victories last weekend en route to winning the Marion Shootout, a two-day, 32-team summer tournament for high school teams.

The Bulldogs cruised past Adams Central, Beech Grove and Marion in pool play on Saturday. In the tournament round, New Albany got past Delta and New Castle before knocking off Kokomo in the title game.

Both Donnie Hale and Chris Whitehead missed the semifinal and championship contests due to “minor injuries,” according to Bulldog coach Jim Shannon.

Indiana University recruit Matt Carlino, a Class of 2011 point guard from Arizona, will transfer to Bloomington South next school year, according to this blog at AZCentral.com:

Mark Carlino submitted his resignation as head boys basketball coach at Gilbert Highland today and will move to Bloomington, Ind., with his all-state son, Matt.

Matt Carlino, a 6-foot-3 point guard who was the Fiesta Region Player of the Year, will leave this week for Bloomington, where he will enroll at South High for his final two prep seasons. South is one of Indiana’s premier programs. He committed to Indiana before his sophomore season, one in which he led Highland to the Class 5A Division I final.

“A lot of people will say a lot of things but Matt and myself have a lot of great feelings not only about Arizona and Arizona basketball but a lot of the people involved in it, as well,” said Mark Carlino, who will make the move himself in early June.

Bloomington South junior Erik Fromm has given a verbal commitment to Butler.

The 6-foot-8 center committed to Brad Stevens‘ program earlier today during a visit to the school’s campus.

“I felt like there really wasn’t any reason to wait any longer,” Fromm told the Bloomington Herald Times. “Right when I got there, everything amazed me. I love the campus, the size of the school is what is most comfortable for me. It’s away from home, but not too far away. The basketball program speaks for itself. In terms of basketball, you can’t really get any higher level than what Butler is. I already had the perfect fit.”

Fromm is the first Southern Indiana college commitment from the Class of 2010.
