http://www.iuhoosiers.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/070414aaa.html   Its official, looks like a full release, and eligible to play this fall! Welcome aboard!

Thanks CC. Longtime reader. You do a great job. This site is the best source for Hoosier intel...  

  Nothing wrong with 3 stars. Football recruiting's a bit of a different animal. There are just so many prospects. Anyway, all you have to do is look at the offers most of our guys are getting.

Looks like a great pickup!    With the recruiting momentum the staff has built I've got to think getting over the hump to bowl eligibility is coming soon. The schedule isn't set up great this year, but it's coming.   I've never wanted to wish time away, but we're only 56 days from kickoff!

  4th of July fireworks starting early.  BOOM!!!!!!

Great day for IU FB, we get a 3 star LB and another QB that helps with our depth issues at the position. I've never been this excited about IU football before, this is awesome.

http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/eye-on-college-football/24607665/notre-dame-lb-signee-nile-sykes-released-to-join-indiana-immediately   Got picked up nationally. Welcome to Btown Nile!!

He is a four star on ESPN, and had a 5.7 rating at Rivals, and a 89 at 247. A 5.8 rating at Rivals is a 4 star, and a 90 at 247 is a 4 star. So I think its fair to say, Sykes is as close to being a 4 star as you can get without actually being one. All of that, if star power actually means much.

Wanted to see his rankings and looked hoping he was a 4 star guy since he was at ND. At first I was disappointed he was a 3* kid but I did find a few articles that spoke of his value. A few notes. Was mentioned to be the top linebacker in a strong linebacker class. Had a very big senior year that suggest he is closer to a 4*. Also saw where he played on the line instead of as a linebacker which impacted his ranking. As a linebacker alone he was highly regarded despite being a 3*. Funny how being a 3* at Indiana is becoming expected, at least to me. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Very excited about this pickup. Can never have enough OLB in a 3-4! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Welcome aboard PT. Thanks for the link.

Coach spilled the beans yesterday...   Coach William Inge ‏@WilliamInge1   The sky's r cloudy & a storm is n the air! It's time for another #BOOM n B-Town. More fireworks for #iufb r coming for the 4th of July.

A welcome addition for the Hoosiers!

I said this when CKW was getting going through his 'growing pains'.  Give him time.  He'll make it happen.  Each year has been a notch of improvement.  Anything less than another rung on the Improvement Ladder this year will be a disappointment!  GO HOOSIERS!!!!!!!!!!

Always good to add a speedy talented player. I was bummed when Young left the team. 

 Allen Trieu‏@AllenTrieu #Indiana adds a speedy corner in Titus Booker. We have him top 15 in Illinois. Good pick up.
