Football commitments seem to carry about as much weight as Wimpy's "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today."

Getting a verbal from a kid just seems to make the sharks circle that much more.  Nice to get the verbals but are there any stats that indicate what % of verbals become signees with the recruit's first verbally committed school?  Almost seems that to be a recruit's first verbal commitment is a kiss of death.

Nice get. Lot's of three star guys coming aboard, more so than most years, or so my memory tells me.

Bit of a fluff piece but interesting nonetheless.

Good to see Coach Patton making that close of connections.

As a dad, I would have to agree an offer from IU would be a great Father's Day present!

Will be interesting to see how the tight end position changes for the bowl game and for the upcoming season. It was underutilized IMO this year. Would love to see some more TE routes to open up the offense. Wish diamont was going to be here next year to see how the offense changes.

OV to Purdue on 1/20 and Penn State on 1/27 per Wiltfong.

I believe he is also taking another OV to Indiana also. 

[ThompsonHoosier 3,413]

Hopefully Coach Allen and staff can convince him to stay. Does anyone have any idea how DeBord handles TE's in his system?
