Thank you for putting this all together!  I'm a bit out of the loop with IU soccer unfortunately.  How does our recruiting class rank? And is it addressing most of our deficiencies?

Hopefully the forwards can score and be the answer to our problems offensively. If Hyacinth is out there starting first game we know despite the ranking the class was a bust in some ways. To me this class rides on one of these freshman being able to step in and be our starting forward right away.

Indpls. Star:

Indiana University announced a men’s soccer signing class that is ranked No. 4 by Top Drawer Soccer. Coach Todd Yeagley’s Hoosiers are coming off a 12-2-7 season that ended in the NCAA tournament quarterfinals.

The nine recruits feature two members of the under-18 national team: forwards Griffin Dorsey of Evergreen, Colo., and Justin Rennicks of Hamilton, Mass. Dorsey is ranked as the No. 20 prospect and Rennicks No. 22 by College Soccer News. Another forward, Mason Toye of South Orange, N.J., a basketball letterman at Seton Hall Prep, is ranked 50th and is on the U19 national team.

The Hoosiers signed three in-state players, led by forward Thomas Warr of Zionsville. He played two high school seasons, scoring 31 goals as a sophomore, and the past two with the Indiana Fire of the U.S. Soccer Developmental Academy. The two others are goalkeeper Jacob Gruber (Cathedral), also of the Indiana Fire, and defender John Bannec (Bloomington South).

Rounding out the class: midfielder Kyle Barks, St. Louis (De Smet Jesuit); defender Jacob Meier, Shakopee, Minn., and midfielder Joe Schmidt, Bainbridge Township, Ohio.

So if we have the number 4 class but no 5* kids is the soccer rankings different than Bball and football recruit rankings
