Was this a test to see how many degenerate posters would bring Tim Priller's recruitment into the conversation? Because I took the bait - ugh.

That's where I am as well -> poor relationship (?) + transparency that he is entering the portal = no run in games

For what its worth Rabby was fairly direct with the Hysterics last week that he expects a two big lineup in '25 - at the time it was a Queen or Portal conversation. Now the staff is left with just the latter.

Love to see the recognition for this group, my 8 y/o wrestles with the Brownsburg Club and ran into Brayton Lee last year and he couldn't have been nicer. He spoke to the elementary aged kiddos for a good 10 minutes and shared words of encouragement. Needless to say I was thrilled when he transferred to B'ton and hope he makes a run in the B1G tourney.

That's what I am seeing as well. In December, Peterson mentioned that he would sign during the Feb period, but to my knowledge - he hasn't. What I find odd about is that the staff released their '24 signing class visual on 2/7, inclusive of transfers on social media and he wasn't included. I wonder if this is a situation where the staff wants to maintain a solid relationship with the school & community (Carmel) but doesn't see a fit on the roster (which wouldnt be a huge surprise given CCC is at 90-92 scholarship as of today) and is encouraging him to find the right spot behind the scenes?

Does anyone know if Christian Peterson from Carmel ended up signing,? Young man committed last Summer and didn't sign during the early period.

DL Beeler signed with MSU this week, good pull by the new staff in East Lansing

In the portal era, there are consolation prizes. Not saying it will happen, but there is a greater than 0% chance Lewis goes to USC, Georgia, etc. and things don't work out. Sunseri has nurtured that relationships with the family and Lewis enjoyed his visit to B'ton - low likelihood, but stranger things have happened.

Without a doubt, my four was a probably a bit too optimistic - I could easily see a scenario where there are 7-8 open grans in April.

What. scares me is that I expect the staff to have four open scholarships outside of Liam this Spring - 13th Open Scholly, Walker, XJ, and two transfers (seems reasonable at this point). Not sure I have confidence in the staff to reshape the backcourt and have contributors with those four grants.

Results haven't looked great this season at Notre Dame, but I would take Shrews - a Stevens disciple - in a heart-beat. The man gets the most out of his squads and has learned from some of the best in Painter and Stevens.

I ran into CJ's father around Indy before the holidays, and he couldn't have been nicer and a better ambassador for the program. I mentioned I had younger kiddos and we make it to a few games each season, and out of the blue he encouraged me to reach out before I take the family down to Bloomington again and he would get CJ to meet my little guys. Impressive family, no matter what happens to CJ's playing career moving forward I will be cheering for the young man.

Junior Day(s) was this weekend, a number of visitors from Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, and Tennessee. Purely qualitative, but seeing a lot of overlap with Louisville, Cincy, and MSU offers/visits.

Name to keep an eye on for the '24 class is DL Mikeshun Beeler from Chicago Simeon. Recently received an offer from Coach Buddha and discussed visiting this weekend (not sure if it materialized with the weather.). He will be announcing his decision during the February signing period. To date, he has received mostly MAC level offers/interest sprinkled with a few lower tier Power 5 offers. https://247sports.com/Player/mikeshun-beeler-46129593/ https://n.rivals.com/content/athletes/mikeshun-beeler-299387?guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAHI2Ayod0GB4XpvPC0Tf9A2n0v9ckDUMBqZoYD4xSIJbfPpVsMDr_gsXJMfi93wKXmf2D9WsHhrZncYInPyCR53ld6gKB2Mj7DaWN_VmK4zOyIBBjxGWuqzBxsbbWIT9sUFmwd2wfqoj6V24u4kZbt_L6k2dg1fUpiIwMvse6RK9&view=pv

WR Jaquez Smith to Missouri St. Leaves two players remaining in the portal Jared Casey & Anthony Jones and the roster at 92 scholarships.

Anyone know if DB Christian Peterson started his visit today? I know that was the plan in December, but I haven't heard anything recently...

TE Aaron Steinfeldt to Albany - leaves three in the portal (Smith, Casey, and Jones)

Safety Dunnam to FAU; leaves four in the portal (Jacquez Smith, Aaron Steinfeldt, Jared Casey, and Anthony Jones)

This. He may be best suited as a slot and return man...but he doesn't run great routes, have the requisite hands, or return punts well. Will be one to monitor, thats for sure.

Camper to Boise St. - leaves six remaining in the portal. I would expect that number to increase as the roster currently sits at 93'ish scholarships.

No inside information, but for the line I am keeping an eye on IOL Jacoby Jackson from Texas Tech. He has good size and meaningful experience playing at the Power 5 level. https://texastech.com/sports/football/roster/jacoby--jackson/12497 https://247sports.com/player/jacoby-jackson-46059509/

Couple of names to keep an eye on over the next week or so... DE Jacob Busic (Navy) DE Theodore Jackson (Troy) DT Grady Kelly (Colorado St.)

This. I don't expect CCC to have two scholarship kickers either. Net, I am not concerned that the program is at 91 grants for '24 on January 5th. If anything, I actually expect a few more additions at DE/DL and LB over the coming weeks based on reported offers and staff engagement.

I feel for Dunnam here, he put Indiana on his chest and fought hard. With that said...CCC has been transparenct that not all players from the portal would be welcome back and he is looking for a proven track record of performance and strong character. Net, a crappy situation for all parties, but I dont see any malicious intent here. If anything, I think this speaks to Dolson openness to playing the role of 'big-boy-program' and not pushing an agenda on the incoming staff. Anyway, I have CCC at 87 scholarships with gaps on both sides of the line and defensive back - expect more movement in the coming weeks!
