Gambling allegations behind him, former standout 'Dupay-ing' the price

By Jason Recker · Thursday, Nov. 15,2001 12:07 a.m.

About 15 minutes after Wednesday night\'s exhibition game between IU and Nike Elite, Ted Dupay scribbled his autograph on a ticket stub. It's not often exhibition players attract the spotlight. But, Dupay's scenario is different. Dupay is accustomed to the attention. He garnered a lot of it -- on and off the court -- while playing at Florida during the last three seasons. But things are thrown out of whack for Dupay this fall. After being accused of gambling and dismissed from coach Billy Donovan's Gator squad because of violating NCAA regulations -- a charge that still doesn't sit well -- Dupay has found himself playing his fiery, shoot-at-will style of basketball for Nike Elite. It's a change he didn't welcome, but one he's taken advantage of.

Wright, Pegram give written commitment

By Jason Recker · Thursday, Nov. 15,2001 12:06 a.m.

Mike Davis' first recruiting class at IU settled in Wednesday on the first day recruits can sign national letters of intent. The Hoosiers received commitments from two top-100 recruits, and are expected to get a commitment from a third today. All three recruits had previously verbally committed to IU. Bracey Wright and Daryl Pegram signed letters of intent Wednesday to lead what is expected to be one of the better recruiting classes in the nation, despite Bloomington High School North Sean May's decision to attend North Carolina. Marshall Strickland is expected to sign Thursday morning. Wright, a 6-foot-3 shooting guard, averaged 21.6 points and 6.1 rebounds per game last season at The Colony (Texas) High School. "To get Bracey Wright today is big for us. I think he's the best guard in the country," Davis said after IU's 98-76 victory over Nike Elite Wednesday. "He'll be able to help us right away."
