The saga continues:
Cem Dinc (211-F-85, college: Indiana), the 21-year old German-Turkish basketball player, may be taking his game and his bizarre story to Harvard next year.
The 6-10 Dinc played one season at Indiana University in 2005-06 and then declared for the NBA Draft.
But nobody was willing to draft Dinc, and with good reason - he played just 12 minutes total and scored three points in his freshman year. Local journalists had lambasted his work ethic and basketball IQ. Without much room or desire for him at Indiana, Dinc transferred to Marshalltown Community College in Iowa where he played last year and averaged 10.6ppg and 5.8rpg. Now, he's looking to transfer back to Division I, and Harvard seems to be a leading candidate. Always known for his intelligence, observers are not surprised Dinc would be attracted to the school.
Crimson coach Tommy Amaker would not confirm that Dinc was being actively recruited, but did confirm that he had applied to Harvard for fall enrollment.
