Question about former IU basketball player Rob Turner...

Not long ago I was talking with friends about former IU players and he came up. He was a juco player that had a handful of strong outings in the late '90s. If I'm remembering correctly he had a REALLY good game against Kentucky in the RCA/Hoosier Dome in 1999. 

I seem to remember he legally changed his name to Dutch Mufasa after leaving IU, but couldn't find anything about that. Anyone else remember that or am I going crazy? I googled 'Rob Turner IU Basketball Dutch Mufasa' and couldn't find anything.

A good friend will bail you out of jail, but your best friend will be sitting next to you in the cell saying "that was f***ing awesome"

I’m relatively sure he changed his name at some point. Or am I not remembering that correctly?
