GRAHAM: Another Morgan Memory

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - The ceremony at the Indiana Memorial Union's Alumni Hall was to dedicate the first official state historical marker on the Indiana University campus.

It honored Bill Garrett, the capable and classy 1947 Mr. Basketball from Shelbyville who blew away the Big Ten basketball color barrier.

It was a sunny April afternoon in 2016. The basketball season was over. So I wasn't necessarily expecting to see current IU players at the ceremony.

But then I saw Juwan Morgan was in the crowd. Unofficially and unannounced.

I wasn't surprised. Because I had already learned that Morgan cares around the right things.
