Cardinal Mooney rising-senior recruit picked Indiana over finalists Oregon, West Virginia, Georgia Tech and USF. 'What put Indiana over the top was the relationship I had with the coaches,' Dues said. 'And it's a rising program as well... 'The weekend was great. I had zero dull moments.' The Hoosiers strike in the Sunshine State for the second time in a week with Dues, not long after flipping another Sarasota native in Kevontay Hugan.
