Craig Nelson just committed. Doubt we get Adams or Ellison now, and they were both higher rated.

Ellison is a big back, I don't think Nelson would deter Ellison. Ellison seems pretty enthusiastic about IU on his Twitter.

Does Nelson have kick/punt return ability?

Awesome! Didn't know he was still coaching.

Only other offer shown is from Idaho? Wonder why he wasn't recruited more heavily. Either way I trust Coach DMC after having coached Coleman, Howard, and Devine I'm sure he can identify talent far better than I can.

No way to know whether IUFB projects Nelson as a RB, or for a different position.

My thoughts as well.  Lot of times the QB and RB are the most athletic on a HS team but recognize they may not have the skill set for that position in D-1, but can be persuaded that WR or DB is where they can find a spot.
