2022 General Recruiting Thread (Football)
KzooHoosier82 replied to Leo's topic in Indiana Football Recruiting Forum
Hash tagging premIUm22 is basically saying a commitment is coming so if not Strickland, than who??? Would be pretty bold to post that knowing your top target is chosing between you and your in-state rival but I guess we’ll find out soon enough -

It’s a shame these in-state kids refuse to understand what it means to commit to these top 5 programs…redshirt, wait in line, get recruited over…repeat. -

Am I the only one who finds it bizarre when local kids are choosing between IU and Purdue? -

What is there negative to say about IU at the RB position? That we get too many guys into the league? That your position coach, who won a Super Bowl coaching RBs, is too well liked and respected? -

Do you know if he was there before Wright left to come here? If so, hopefully we have a leg up. I love coach Wright and am surprised more of his kids haven’t followed him here -
(2022) WR Omar Cooper to Indiana
KzooHoosier82 replied to Lebowski's topic in Indiana Football Recruiting Forum
I don’t normally get too excited about commitments because you never know if they will pan out (especially at this position) but I have a feeling D Mac to Cooper is going to be a special thing. Hopefully this sends a signal to other top in state kids thet IU is the move. -

Coach Wright is quite the wild card on Twitter. Never seen an assistant be this active on recruiting matters -
(2021) S Maurice Freeman to Indiana
KzooHoosier82 replied to LamarCheeks's topic in Indiana Hoosiers Football
The biggest attribute I noticed from his tape is his ability to wrap up. Laying the lumber like he can is nice but the way he finishes tackles is special -
I fully expect him to stay in the draft anyway. I think this is just a contingency plan in case he gets some sour feedback from GMs

(2022) OT Bray Lynch to Indiana
KzooHoosier82 replied to Lebowski's topic in Indiana Football Recruiting Forum
Kinda odd that a kid from Austin, TX has only one in state offer in TCU. Especially given that his school is a powerhouse coming off a 6a state championship -
Ridiculous. He hadn’t even squared away his previous issue. Dude is going to spend some time in jail for this. He can forget about football for the foreseeable future. Uber/Lyft is your friend

D Mc is greatly weighing our current average so once we start landing 3 star guys it will drop. My hope for this class is a top 5-6 in conference player average. We won’t stay in the top 3. With a solid 8+ win season this year, I think IU will be the “it” school for recruits, especially with the in state kids. This may be our most pivotal season ever. -
Le Petit Cafe was my fancy food go to, especially after college when I’d come back for games. They have an Airbnb above the restaurant and the food and owners are amazing. Portions are generous, despite a limited menu. I would always tell them to choose our adventure and it never disappointed. Miss that place.

Avers (shout out Avers 8 deal) and Goodfellas were the only two pizza places I ate at in Bloomington. A newer place I’ve heard is great but haven’t tried yet is Osteria Rago, but is date night pizza. Avers is, 2am drunk pizza

2021 Football Transfer Portal
KzooHoosier82 replied to Lebowski's topic in Indiana Hoosiers Football
Does anyone know how many scholarships are available with the covid rules? Looking at 247, most BigTen programs are coming in with 90+, even 100+ scholarship players on their rosters while IU is at 80 which is 5 below the normal max. 247’s scholarship distribution seems to be up to date but maybe there are errors? Otherwise, some teams will have a huge depth advantage going into next season -
(2021) SG Tamar Bates to INDIANA
KzooHoosier82 replied to ap2345's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
Yea, I think it’s because he’s ranked 23rd on ESPN that drives his composite into 5 star even though ESPN still shows him at a 4. I’d be willing to bet that if he dropped a spot in any site he’d drop back to a 4 composite -
(2021) SG Tamar Bates to INDIANA
KzooHoosier82 replied to ap2345's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
Somehow the composite has him just over the 99 points threshold which for 247 is 5 star. I expect ESPN to upgrade him to 5 star before it’s finalized unless he drops out of the top 25 (which seems unlikely). In ESPN and 247 he’s the first 4 star and 3rd in rivals so no matter what, it’s splitting hairs -

IUFB Offseason Updates
KzooHoosier82 replied to ThompsonHoosier's topic in Indiana Hoosiers Football
Schnell was labled as the best player in the country by Sports Illustrated coming into college so he’s gotta be the highest “rated” prospect of all time. I know AT was a Parade All American but I don’t know if that lands him in the top 30 in the country or not since it’s based on position and not overall top prospect. Even if this kid comes here, I don’t expect to be getting a 5 star-esque caliber of player. He was clearly overrated coming into USC but would provide valuable depth and production filling in for Stevie. I’m not sold on Sampson James yet but I hope he’ll make strides working with DMC -
(2021) PG Khristian Lander to Western Kentucky U.
KzooHoosier82 replied to Uspshoosier's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
I didn’t have a problem with his shot selection per say, but you could tell he had an agenda everytime he got into the game and forced a bunch of shots before getting settled but I only really had a problem with it because the shots were so off target. Defensively, my hope is that was a product of being young, undersized and inexperienced. Most freshman suck at defense at this level. -

KzooHoosier82 replied to Uspshoosier's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
Archie’s offensive sets sucked, that’s clear to most people. That said, it’s awfully rich to have Lander’s dad criticizing it publicly when you consider just how awful Lander performed. Bad offensive sets aren’t the cause of a player jacking up hopeless bricks and airballs, even while being poorly guarded.
