Purdue and Xavier have topped Donnie Hale‘s list of potential college choices for a long while.

But now the New Albany senior has a new school showing interest — Oklahoma State.

Hale traveled last weekend to the Cowboys’ Stillwater, Okla., campus for an unofficial visit.

“They showed me the facility and it’s amazing,” Hale said. “I just felt really comfortable with the way coach (Travis) Ford was talking. He seemed really interested, and I felt comfortable around their coaches and players. The Big 12 Conference is definitely big-time basketball.”

The 6-foot-8 forward also will visit Xavier’s “elite camp” on Sunday, where he expects to speak with new Musketeer coach Chris Mack. And Purdue, which has tendered Hale a scholarship offer, will host the entire New Albany squad in Mackey Arena at a team camp later this month.

“I really don’t have a favorite,” he added. “It’s pretty much those three right now.”

When AAU resumes in July, Hale will travel with his Spiece Indy Heat team to events in Louisville, Fort Wayne and Kansas City, among others, he said.

Seymour senior Matt Trimnell will travel this weekend to Mobile, Ala., for an unofficial visit to South Alabama’s campus, his family said.

The 6-foot-3 forward also will participate in the school’s “elite camp.”

Trimnell, who averaged 18 points per game last season for the Owls, also has been invited to Western Kentucky’s camp in August.

Bloomington South, the reigning Class 4-A state champion, has added a transfer from Charleston, Ill., Hoosier Hills Hoops confirmed today.

T.J. Bell, a 6-foot-8 wing forward, will join Indiana University recruit Matt Carlino, of Arizona, next season as new faces on the Panther roster.

The Illinois Prep Bulls-eye, a Illinois-based scouting service, offered lots of praise for Bell in this report:

Charleston’s T.J. Bell is hands down the #1 player in Illinois from the Class of 2012. Playing for the Mean Streets 15-under squad, Bell was spectacular when we watched his team’s tournament contest vs. the Wisconsin Swing. Bell has outstanding wing skills, as he has the ability to put the ball on the floor and consistently knock down shots all the way to 3-point land.  He is also highly athletic, has great hands and is an outstanding finisher. We also like the fact that he plays with intensity and also gets after it at the defensive end. It is no wonder that Bell has already drawn recruiting attention from the likes of both Indiana and Illinois with others certain to follow.

Bell’s mother, Quacy Timmons, is a former player and assistant coach for IU’s girls program.

It’s been quite a week for Jeffersonville star Kegan Clark.

The 6-foot-3 senior-to-be turned in a solid performance last Thursday for the Junior All-Stars in their scrimmage versus the Indiana All-Stars at New Albany.

And Saturday, Clark received his first scholarship offer — Wright State.

“(Wright State’s) campus is really nice and the coaches are cool,” said Clark, whose Jeffersonville team recently competed in a one-day shootout for high school teams at the school’s campus in Dayton, Oh. “I could definitely see myself playing there.”

Clark intends to complete the AAU circuit in July before making any decision.

“My plan is to finish out July and see what happens then,” he said.

Indiana completed a sweep of the 2009 Indiana-Kentucky All-Star series, beating the Bluegrass stars 64-49 this afternoon at Bellarmine University in Louisville, Ky.

Indianapolis Cathedral’s Errick Peck again led the Indiana All-Stars, finishing with 14 points and nine rebounds. Batesville’s Colt Ryan contributed nine points, and Bloomington South’s Jordan Hulls added just four.
