Hurryin' Hoosiers

I think there should be bats though :)   Would make crossing routes a little tougher :)

Shake and Bake....

Just so everyone knows, I'm 1 for 1 on recruits when i start the thread :)

this stinks.   On one hand, you would think NFL teams would be wary of picking Howard due to his injuries.  Playing another season at IU and being healthy for it would show he can stay healthy and help his stock.   On the other hand, he could get injured even worse and lose out.   Guess he's hoping teams will overlook all the time has missed.  Seems like he is the RB version of Bob Sanders.  Duels out pain but always injured because of it.

  Dear Santa, if you give everyone the same present, then it just feels a little less special.  Kind of like those participation awards. Returns gift

  say what?  :rtfm:

As mentioned, Lynch inherited a better team when he started and got to a bowl game with Hep's recruits.  The team dropped like a rock the next year.   Lynch introduced IU fans to losing to MAC schools, never scoring in the 2nd half and getting humiliated by Wisconsin and other big programs.   We may not have the record but Wilson has us scoring in the second half of games and playing good teams closely.  We've been giving lots of really good teams all they can handle.  Wins will come under Wilson.

Probably time to update the subject line.

Henceforth Naturalhoosier shall be referred to as Naturalrams instead.....   For shameful promotion of a recruiting competitor's locale.

That was the issue with going with a 3-4 DC with personnel brought in for a 4-3.  It's going to take a little longer than normal to get the players you need for the new system.   Patience is a virtue.

I wouldn't get your hopes up too much but great we are even in the discussion.   However, Rivals only has him as a 3 star???  Not that I would turn away a 3 star but maybe Cooper was just being nice to his buddy by calling him a 5 star.

Yes.  It would be progress.

That stinks.  I was in the Hundred from '99 to '04 and the whole band went to WL on the years we played at PU.

any bets on how long it takes to merge the 2 threads?  :)

Welcome Tyler!!  2nd commit for 2017.  Getting this class started early.

We had a better 1-2 punch in the frontcourt with Zeller/Watford than we do now I think, especially offensively.    Depth overall is probably better now but individually no one can match Zeller or Oladipo.   I think we might struggle too much against bigger teams like Purdue to be a big threat this year.   For now, I'd give an edge to 12-13.

There used to be a street named after De'Ron Davis, but it was changed because nobody crosses De'Ron Davis and lives.   De'Ron Davis was in all 6 Star Wars movies............... As The Force.

  I heard he consumes the Boilers with fireballs from his eyes and bolts of lightning from his butt

DBs wouldn't want to mess with Rambo...sign him up

Any reason to believe IU has a chance here?  Rivals has him with 0 interest in us.

  All i know is we need a good gunner next year :)

He's molding his career after Gunner Kiel

Cisco, TX (Cisco C.C.) 6'6/240   247   Rivals   Scout
