Some BU fans already know about Justin Gant. He is a talented 6'8" power forward who just finished his freshman season at Terre Haute North HS.
Bradley offered him a scholarship a couple months ago, and he really likes Bradley and the coaches. Now major schools are starting to notice him. He also plays for the Spiece AAU team, the same program that Andrew Warren, Eric Gordon, and many others played for.

http://indiana.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=814871
Forward Justin Gant will only be a sophomore next year at Terre Haute North, but he has already caught the attention of many college coaching staffs. Bradley has already offered the 6-8, 190-pound Gant, and another Division I scholarship could be forthcoming.
Gant was in Bloomington earlier this week for an unofficial visit, and a scholarship offer was one of the things Tom Crean talked to him about.
Gant, who is being recruited by most of the area schools, helped North make a run in the playoffs last season.
Crean and his staff...have taken notice of Gant, who was in Bloomington on Tuesday for an unofficial visit. Gant said he and his family had a good experience spending time with Crean and the rest of the IU coaches.
Gant, who is a member of the Spiece Select 15-and-under squad, says he is mainly an interior player, but he can step out on the perimeter and knock down an open shot.
The stop at IU was the first of a few visits for Gant, who will be at Butler and Purdue in the coming weeks. Currently, none of the schools recruiting him stand out to him.
"I like to play as like an inside-out forward," he said. "I can go inside and work inside, but I can also come out and drive. I've been working on my outside jumper, trying to get that down and my three-point shot down."
Justin Gant was the MVP at the
Classic Run N' Slam in Fort Wayne.
