Q&A: Cody Zeller

Cody Zeller is one of the top prospects in the state of Indiana. The 6-foot-10, 200 pound power forward is attracting attention from several of the nations top programs, including Indiana. I caught up with Zeller at the Hoopsfest in Louisville, Ky.

Johnston: How is the recruiting process going?

Zeller: I have offers from Indiana, Purdue, Butler and Iowa. There are a lot more showing interest. Right now I'm just trying to figure out who's interested and trying to get to know the coaches.

Johnston: How are things going with IU?

Zeller: It's the same as any other college. I'm just trying to get to know the coaches.

Johnston: You were at IU recently. How did that go?

Zeller: I went over there and I just played some pick up games. It was fun.

Johnston: Are you planning on taking any visits?

Zeller: I went to the Indiana Elite camp. I'll probably try and take some visits in August when the AAU season slows down.

Johnston: Your brother Luke played at Notre Dame and your brother Tyler plays for North Carolina. Would those schools have an advantage?

Zeller: No, wouldn't say those schools have an advantage. I've seen both of those schools and I like them but I wouldn't say they have an advantage.

Johnston: Have your brothers helped you with this process?

Zeller: They have. I went on most of their recruiting visits with them, so I know how it goes. Having them around helps a lot.

Johnston: What are coaches telling you they like about your game?

Zeller: They like the fact that I work hard. I shoot decent for a big man. Some big men just stat in the post but I try and step out every once in a while.

Johnston: What are you working on this summer?

Zeller: I'm trying to get stronger. That will help my whole game. I'm also working on my outside shot. That would be a big weapon if I could get that down.
