I'm not sure about most of that, however you are incorrect about not paying much attention to recruiting Indiana. Its just a matter that we have struck out on most of the Indiana recruits this year. There are several committed elsewhere from Indiana that were probably top of the charts for the staff, and I would say that the staff will still be recruiting some of them right up until signing day. At the end of the day, if you don't win the battle for a player, you have to have plenty of options already in the works, and much of that is happening in Georgia and Florida.

Interesting, no #BOOM yet!

I haven't checked at other places, but I suspect that it does happen, whether or not the arrests are made. I highly doubt that the scale is different in anything except the arrests. I did not excuse anything, thank you. It appears  to me that the individuals are being held accountable. Another one of your witch hunts on the IU athletics system seems a bit much.

From appearances to me, I think its actually the opposite. We don't take a ton of chances. 

 5 picks for Iowa now. 

The article didn't say roommates, it simply says there were other people there. If they were teammates, I would expect further dismissals/suspensions.

Yes, we are going to be burnt. But I am not aware that any info has been shown that there were any red flags that would have given the AD or coaches reason to take a pass. If Allen's dad was a known dealer/user, that's all nice and fine, but you don't pass on the player because of his parent's decision. Griffith seemed pretty squeaky clean, and yet we have two incidents with him. Heck, if the truth is known, most teen's have some questionable decisions in their background.    No, these decision's are purely on the players. They are legally adults, able to make their own decisions, and the responsibility rests purely on them. It only falls on the staff if they were aware, or if they are not making any effort to be aware of the activities of athletes.   We will get burnt again, no question about it. We will take chances on young men and women here and there and give them the opportunity. Some of them will squander that opportunity. Some of them will take advantage of the opportunity build upon it.   I don't want to see us sell out on character for athletic success, but I have no problem with taking a chance on someone if there is reason to believe that they will make the best of it. Some will work out, some won't.

I generally wouldn't pay a lot of attention to Warren and Wiltfongs picks, they flip-flop all the time. The Michigan and Iowa guys picked their respective teams. The only IU pick is a several months old OSU guys pick, so I don't know that I would give much credibility to that. My guess would have to be that 4 out of 6 picks were made within  the last 24 hours for Iowa, so they would look like the leader. Watch for McCarthy's pick, he generally jumps in only when he's very sure. 

  Alright, I'm not exactly seeing what you think FG and staff ought to do. Until they know there is a problem they can't do anything about it. So the only problem I know of, is the swept under the rug drug tests for the basketball team. As far as other issues, I have never seen any other info that says they had prior knowledge that would require action. If Allen's drug dealing was known to the AD or coaches, and they ignored it, then you have a point, but I doubt he was declaring it to the staff. So in all three arrests with the football team here lately, I can only see post-incident action as being appropriate. If they had prior knowledge of the problems, then there is a issue. While the AD and coaches do have responsibility to keep an eye out on things, young adults learn that the rules can be worked around with a little keeping your mouth shut and keeping things out of sight.   Its not like this is all something new that has popped up under FG and the current coaching staff's. Although I don't recall dealing meth coming up before, drugs and alcohol have been part of college athletics (and college in general) for a long time and IU is no exception. It seems to me that the AD is dealing with these situations pretty swiftly and firmly at this point.

What a waste.
