Crimson and Cream

Hurt missing those players on defense. I'll reserve my "disappointment in lack of improvement" judgement for after next weeks game, assuming those guys are all back. Offense looked real good again. 

That's fair enough. I keep forgetting he never actually played haha. Very impressed with Jones today though, and Cobbs will be fine. Not a big fan of that little white guy (can't remember his name) though.

Better question, where was Hawkins? I just assumed he would be a starter.

Beat me to it by a minute

Well, I'll just say this; The IUFB I have come to know would have allowed that 2 point conversion. We didn't. We won. It was ugly on defense, but we won. Hopefully our 3 starters (and 2 key bench guys) being back will help from here on out on defense. Offense looked very good. It's a win guys, we aren't in a position to be complaining about a win. Good job Hoosiers, now on to the next one.

He gone

No insider info whatsoever, I just see him suiting up for Memphis. They've been on him all along.

I guess I thought he was better than that. I know last year he went on IR early in the year. Sounds like a Donald Thomas type story. Good player, got injured, gets cut the next year.

Colts need to take a look at him. Is he injured? I didn't expect he'd be cut already.

Good news is 3 of them are transfers with prior experience and Fant will already be here.

Are we building a defense here? When was the last time IUFB had a decent defense?

Awesome!!! Would only be better if he could play this year, but hey I won't complain.

Biting my tongue over here. I keep saying to myself just wait until the class is filled out before passing judgment, but man it's hard.

I just hope it's Jayme convincing him to flip and not the other way around.

As long as he doesn't think he's a 5 star recruit and expect to start his freshman year we should be fine. 

I see what you're saying, but just because a guy is coined a "star" or ranked highly doesn't mean he can't be a fundamentally sound, smart kid who wins. I'm not saying you need a class full of top 10 players, but generally fans like to see guys who are at least ranked in the top 150. Obviously (as with Vic) that doesn't guarantee they will or will not be a good player, as that's just a recruiting analysts best guess. I'm certainly welcoming this kid to Bloomington with open arms and hoping he has a very successful 4 year career, becomes a fan favorite, and helps us bring home some banners. But I'd be lying to you if I said I wasn't a little concerned with taking a player ranked this low this early. Nevertheless, Go Hoosiers!!! I've switched over to Google Chrome so hopefully this works as a reply.

Not the big star many people like to see, but he's an Indiana kid who can shoot the ball extremely well. I think IU always needs a player like that on their team. Welcome to the Hoosier family Grant!! Go prove those recruiting analysts wrong!

I understand the frustrations, but just realize our competition for in-state guys includes elite programs like ND, Ohio St., Michigan, and Michigan St. as well as other schools such as Purdue, Illinois, and Ball St. In order to separate ourselves from the 2nd pack and start pulling in some top-level in-state guys, we'll need a bowl game this season to get their attention. That is certainly doable. We have had quite a few in-state guys in recent years, we just haven't been able to get in yet for this 2016 class, but it's not too late. As another poster stated, guys flip commits in football all the time, and a successful season this year could be just what some of these Indiana boys are waiting on.

Are they selling any that have all of the games on them?

That's what, three 3* defensive backs coming in next year already? Very nice!

Someone's gotta be first. We've been after him for a long time, I see no reason why he shouldn't be the first. Not sure when he's planning on committing though, maybe be a while still.

Surely we will be on that list

I sense a trade. Too many wings, I'll bet Solo won't stick around long.

Appreciate the feedback IU Hoosier41, yeah I do still run IE. I really should switch to GC, just hate adjusting to a new format.

This site is awful for pc users. I tried adding a link saying how NBA2K is adding some college teams into their game this year, but it never works. I can't post links, can't reply to people, can't do hardly anything except a basic post. It really discourages me from being more active.
