The bountiful rewards for hard work and a sterling summer collided with the announcement of Murfreesboro Seigel shooting star Tyler Cutter ending the recruiting process and choosing to head back home and play for the Indiana State Sycamores.

Cutter, originally from Indiana before the move to the mid-state, became enamored with the Terre Haute campus and it's deep basketball tradition on a recent visit and decided to end all speculation and chose the Missouri Valley School.

Cutter is best known for his all out toughness and deep stroke. He will make a welcome addition for first year coach Kevin McKenna as he attempts to revitilize a tradition heavy Sycamore program that finished 13-15 last season.

Cutter chose the ISU program after receiving heavy recruitment from the likes of Belmont, Lipscomb, SEMO, ETSU, Boston University and many others.

With his senior year approaching Cutter looks to lead a very young supporting cast back to the hallowed halls of the Murphy Center. He was a vital contributor to the Stars runs during his freshman and sophomore seasons.

Good luck to Tyler, I wish him nothing but success.
