A Lawrence North Movie?

Indiana hoops legend and writer of the book "Uncaged" Dave Krieder has big plans. BIG plans. The book, which details the three-year run of Lawrence North headed by former Wildcats and current NBA players Greg Oden and Mike Conley, has been made into a screenplay and according to Krieder, will be made into a movie. During the telecast of the IHSAA State Finals, Krieder claimed that, when made into a movie, "Uncaged" will be bigger than all-time great classic "Hoosiers." His plans include acquiring the help and talent of Jim Caviezel, and it will take a Christ-like effort to make his premonition come true. I could see it rivaling "Blue Chips," but "Hoosiers"? Come on now. That's almost blasphemy! And who would play the starring roles? I can't imagine who would play Oden. I don't know any 7'1 actors who could pull it off, but maybe some trick photography could do it. Conley? Maybe Nick Cannon. Or a hilarious one would be Corbin Bleu from "High School Musical," since he is so awful at basketball, despite portraying a hoops loving jock in those God-awful movies. And how about playing Jack Keefer? Here is a link that discusses the movie plans, as well as some other information, including some tidbits on the North/South game.
