Great tweet from Rick Bozich - Buffalo 71, Syracuse 59 — in The Carrier Dome. That’s Four losses while playing only one road game for The Orange. NCAA Tournament Selection Committee considering knocking the Orange to a #3 seed.

Just for fun... Since Tuttle is not included in the class rankings. I went to the class calculator for IU on 247 and added a player with a similar rating as Tuttle's coming out of HS. Tuttle's 247 rating was 0.9320, and the closest player to him in 2019 is Keiondre Jones (Auburn commit) with a rating of 0.9318. This addition brought our projected team score up to 203.92 and would move us up to 31st overall (just ahead of Kentucky). We would also surpass Minnesota and Iowa for 8th in the Big Ten. I know this doesn't really mean anything, but seemed like a fun way to try to estimate where our class would rank with Tuttle included.

Terry is a gracious man. In the summer of 2015 when I was trying to expand my portfolio for the writing & editing profession, Terry welcomed me as a soccer content contributor for this site. He met me for lunch (which he insisted on paying for), we talked about how he envisioned the role and content ideas, and shortly after he showed me the ropes as we attended an iums practice. Essentially with his endorsement, I got the opportunity to interview Coach Yeagley and a few players, a first for me. When I moved on, he told me not to hesitate in using him as a reference (I didn't even ask), which I did for an editorial job later that year and got it. Terry didn't have to do any of that. I was incredibly grateful, and certainly still am, that a prolific five-time Indiana sportswriter of the year would be so generous to me. Wishing the smoothest recovery for Terry and his family.

Thanks General. You do great work for the site

The Matthew Bedford get was huge. This staff was able to hold off two schools that wanted him bad, South Carolina and Miss State.

#6 RB Sampson James

Well, the same person who told me about Tuttle a few days ago also told me that Debord was gone. Don't give up hope on Bell either.

Someone needs to knock him out. What a prick.

#17. New addition. @StuJTH: 3-star Florida DT Antoine Whitner has committed to Indiana. Signed his NLI at a signing day Ceremony at IMG Academy. #iufb

Very sad to hear. I only know him from him working with us on this site but was always gracious with us both on the main board and mod board. Almost to the point where I thought it was strange (for lack of a better term) he even dealt with us...I soon just realized he was a genuine, good man who was passionate about his career, Indiana sports, and his family. Thoughts are with his family...

@zkeefer: Season ends today for two Colts: Skai Moore and Al Woods headed to IR. Team signs safety J.J. Wilcox, and also adds former IU linebacker Tegray Scales to the practice squad. I feel like Scales could be a really good fit for this defense.

IndianaHQ - Race Thompson (@RaceThompson1) here in Assembly Hall with the players during warm ups. He is in street clothes and not on the court. Still, this is a good sign as he was not even able to join the team in earlier games immediately after his concussion. Osterman - He has been with the team off and on. Without wanting to be an armchair doctor, concussion treatment sometimes requires light and noise discipline, and travel is tougher. As for long-term question, that's undetermined at this point.

Juwan was named by the USABWA National player of the week.

Up to 38th overall on 247 (still 10th in the Big Ten). https://247sports.com/Season/2019-Football/CompositeTeamRankings/

247 ranks Sampson James and Beau Robbins as 4-starts and the #2 and #6 IUFB recruits all time.

Yeah man. He had every right to come in with an ego and he never did with us behind the scenes. As busy as he was he would try and engage people because we asked him to. He didn’t need us. Could have told us to piss off. He didn’t. He loved writing and discussing IU athletics. He really is a normal dude that loves all things IU. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Ryan James of NorthStarHoops - Assistants from Indiana and Illinois are at the Prior Lake vs Shakopee game. Main target is 2020 Dawson Garcia. 247Sports describes him as a 4-star 6'10" 200 lb. PF. #28 national ranking; #6 national PF. Already holds offers from Minny, Texas, Xavier, Butler, Baylor, Iowa, PUke, Wisky & Rutgers. In his season opener, Garcia scored 32 pts. and had 11 reb. In their second game he sccored 25 pts. Game #3 Garcia had 25 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks. Game #4 he had 31 pts. UPDATE tonight's game #1: Dawson Garcia has been unstoppable hitting 4 treys (1 pull-up, one stepping back, 2 feet set catch and hit) plus the one hand lost-up midlane and the putbacks. Dawson has 19 early, Prior Lake controlling Shakopee 31-19 UPDATE #2: Garcia finished with 40 pts.

Yeah I’ve seen them both play in person at Westfield the last 2 years. I will start out by saying getting either one of them is huge. Both are 5 stars for a reason. I personally would take brooks. Again that’s not saying Watford isn’t good I feel Brooks will be the better player down the road. Watford struggled each year I watched him up there. He was on a team with Vernon Carey and Iggy the freshman from Michigan this year. At the time Watford was playing up a grade but he didn’t really do anything that separated himself. And again this year he had a bad couple days and his team lost each game I watched. Although he struggled you can see the talent. For his size he can really shoot it and he is crafty under the basket. The reason I would take Brooks his that brooks plays above the rim and has elite athleticism. Watford plays below the rim im not saying he isn’t athletic just no where near Brooks. Brooks also has closed the gap on shooting between the 2. Watford was a way better shooter a couple years ago now that’s not the case. Watford still might be the better shooter but not by a wide margin. Also Brooks and TJD together this year on the AAU circuit and their chemistry was undeniable. I was watching one of their games with Rabjohns and they had a sequence where they played the high-low game to perfection. Both kind of looked at each other and said wow looks like they complement each other. Before that people wondered how they would play together and they killed it all year. If you wanted to look it up in the old April Evaluations thread from the last 2 years I’m sure I wrote about what I saw if u were interested. Personal Preference is Brooks but Watford is a heck of player also Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

8 of our top 25 recruits on 247 signed in 2018 or 2019

#19 LB Cam Williams. So that's 20 including Tuttle. Now we wait...

How often does it happen where a recruit goes back to the school they originally committed to after coming out of JUCO? Seems rare.

Spent one season at Independence C.C., hopefully he got his issues resolved and is back ready to contribute. Let's not forget he was a highly rated coming out of high school. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

#11 JUCO DT Juan Harris is back

This was not the first time we've watched Garcia. This from Brian Snow during last April's evaluation period originally posted by ccg. Dawson Garcia, PF, D1 Minnesota - Garcia showed high level ability on Saturday. At nearly 6-foot-10, Garcia can make shots from deep, attack with the dribble, and then despite needing strength, he is fairly good at finishing through contact. As a rebounder he is solid, and will grab boards both in and out of his area. Garcia is still a bit of a work in progress, but the talent is clear. Head coaches from Minnesota and Nebraska watched him, as did assistants from Iowa State, Stanford, Xavier and Indiana.

Here we go folks! #1 DB Larry Tracy

We've had a little discussion about Archie's reaction to Rob's shot and also Crean's reaction to CWat's dagger. How about this reaction from The General after Jay Edwards stuck a fork in Michigan

Hoosiers roll again! 10-0! Berger with game/career high 15.

IU 49-36 end of Q3. Berger with game high 13, Patberg with 10.

Was just perusing their roster/stats. Love the name Thatch Unruh. Don’t know why, but love it. Want to see about a 40 pt win despite a career high from that kid.

We should not have a competitive game till Jan 6th. I think all of our hearts could use the rest.

LaLumiere (9-0) remained undefeated with a 90-40 pounding of St. Francis. Brooks with 12 pts., 10 reb. and 4 asst.

In case anyone doesn't know about it.. Here's the Massey Ratings site. It ranks teams based on an average of a bunch of other rating services, including the NET. It also has links to all of those individual rating systems. Very cool resource! https://www.masseyratings.com/cb/compare.htm

From what I know is his senior film came out and those big boys loved it. I considered him a semi project but he had potential just based on his frame. He’s an early enroll I believe and I think he’s on 2 deep come fall

#16 OT Matthew Bedford. Down to Jakes and Jones.

We lost juco WR Reggie Todd to Troy. I'm hoping because he didn't think he would get playing time. IU shouldn't lose recruits to Troy

Down to 4 from the original 17. WR Jordan Jakes OT Matthew Bedford DE Beau Robbins LB Dorian Jones

#12 RB Ivory Winters

#10 LS Sean Wracher

#4 OL Mike Katic

Southridge snapped a 3-game losing streak with a 66-37 win over Pike Central. Montgomery scored the first 12 pts. for Southridge and finished with a season high 25.

#2 DB Tiawan Mullen.

No Luck or Leonard on the Pro Bowl roster is such garbage.
