Sounds like the post office

CTA hasn't hired a semi-competent OC since DeBoer.

Geez the guy’s tape is next level quick and strong.

Im a fan of this one. Let’s wrap it up and hope he grows an inch or two more

His dad's about 6'4 

I mean that's PI but better check to make sure we don't have 12 on the field again

Well that was a pair of "IU football" plays right there

I have to share this story with you all.  Back in Feb. 2022, I contacted C. J.  Gunn's dad via Twitter to ask him where/how I could get C.J.'s high school game stats.  He responded very quickly and we exchanged a number of messages. One of them from him was this --

There is a LN Freshman starter, Azavier Robinson, that should be on IU’s radar. He’s a guard that has a chance to be special on the high school level if he continues to develop. The game versus Snider I saw him take another step. An in state talent to track

Mr. Gunn obviously knows talent when he sees it.

I also had someone tell me about Azavier before his freshman season. I'm sure IU's been watching him for a while now. 

How many times is this clown announcer going to call out Cooper for "giving up on the play"?? FWIW I didn't think he gave up, it was just a terrible throw.

Soccer:  IU 0, SF 1 with 3 minutes left in 1st half.

 

It's great to have Cam Camper back

Lucas is like a cheat code out there

This has got to be the worst QB in D1 football right?

Breaking News:

Jaylin Lucas is fast.

Wow, like I said nobody could ever get a handle on this recruitment. Props to him and his camp. Kansas was the one school on that list I can stomach! Now he needs to just cap his HS ball off with a state championship.

Seeing the video of Queen and flory playing each other, Queen easily had two inches on him.

Queen is listed at 6'10, maybe he's close to 6'11 at this point. He's also a lot heavier than Flory which probably makes the size difference look bigger than it is.

On AR, rough INT to start, but I thought each drive he got better which is what you want to see. Should've had a TD had Pierce held onto that perfectly thrown ball. Couple other drops/penalties that costed him a better statistical day. 

They need to quit messing around and give Downs that starting slot role. That kid has elite quickness out there and great hands. Also probably has the best chemistry with AR of all the receivers.

Wherever he goes good luck, hopefully we land Queen who I think should be rated higher. Don't really like the idea of 6'7 centers anyways

Feels like Queen will come down to us and Maryland. We'll have to pull him away from there, and I think McNeeley is the key to that. 

Also, Flory is 6'9, not 6'7. Him and Queen are very different players though and putting my bias aside I'd be just as thrilled to land Queen.

Apparently Auburn took the lead.  Crazy recruitment. His handlers must really be something.  And does Auburn really have that kind of a NIL program for hoops?  

Auburn overtaking Duke is stunning

I figured this was Duke but really surprised we didn't make the final 4, and a little irritated/confused that Michigan did with their lack of NIL $ and struggles last year from a team/coaching perspective. I'm hoping he surprises us and chooses Kansas of those 4. 

Looking forward to a fun senior season but it's going to be tough knowing he'll likely be a Blue Devil.

I believe his quote was before school starts 

Correct

Has he said when he plans to commit?

Before his senior year at Kokomo starts, which I believe is the first week of August (I'm old enough to remember when we didn't go back until the end of August). So within the next 3-4 weeks we should know. Unfortunate he's not taking another visit but I think that has more to do with his busy playing schedule than anything else. He's been in Bloomington more than any recruit should need and we've continued to show interest all the way so at this point I'd say the staff has done everything within reason to get him. It just all comes down to what he wants. Duke and Cincy scare me the most but truthfully I could see him going anywhere out of these main 5-6 schools. He's done a tremendous job of not leaking much info.

Yesterday's Charlie Hughes Shootout.

 

Kokomo's got a lot of work to do. Need shooters with Flory. We had that last year. They all graduated.

This is one of those recruitments where everyone's got an opinion but the truth is no one truly knows where this winds up. We've definitely put forth the best effort that I could imagine to show him what we have to offer. It's all up to him to decide whether that's what he wants or not.

As anonymous coaches articles go, this one’s pretty good. Some nice comments on Hood-Schifino. Some not as nice ones on Brice Sensabaugh. 
 

Side note : the quoted Coach on Brandin Podziemskiis is almost certainly either Randy Bennett or someone from his staff. Have heard him use the “if you’re not touching him you’re not guarding him” line several times in interviews. 

Was reading that earlier too. As harsh as that was on Sensabaugh, it wasn't really wrong.

I mean... He came along in 11-12 and we had two really good seasons with him and saw GREAT improvement with several players.

Vic and Will especially
