Their is a younger Nunge who use to play with Lander when he was with The Pockey City. But they did not play together this year. Nunge might have been with Indiana Elite but not 100 percent on that one.

In regards to this game, if IU can run the ball and stop the run I like the Hoosiers' chances.  It will all come down to the front 5 and front 7 though.  I'd like to see some defensive takeaways that results into points.  If that happens IU has a really good chance winning the game.

Ramsey can throw downfield just fine. They were playing in a monsoon tonight and he still completed 73% of his passes. 

My eyes are just fine. They've watched him throw 5 touchdowns in the first two games this year. He doesn't have a cannon but he has a serviceable arm that can make throws downfield when the staff opens up the playbook. 

Kinda, but there's a lot to his story.  I don't recall him going as high as 4*.  But I could be mistaken.  Regardless, I think I understand your point, there's another RB in the waiting if needed.  If that's not what you meant my apologies for misunderstanding you.

I thought Ramsey played well.  I don't see a reason to bench him for Penix at the moment.  The RB position is 4 deep.  So I don't think it's as bad as it might look.  I think folks like Brookins and Majette will have to step it up.  Scott and Walker will more than likely not be red shirted, unfortunately.  And by the end of the season Walker might be the guy.  And it looks like they're going get Taylor some touches as well.  Personally I don't think Taylor as a traditional RB.  I see him more as a slot/wing or wildcat.  A type of guy you want to make sure he gets the ball out in the open.

Honestly, I really don't take that much stock in these rating systems.  While they are fun to see and what not it's really about the coaches ability to see player potential/skill set along with player development.  And the development part is on both the player and coaching staff.  A couple of good recent examples are Cody Latimer (3* with only one offer) and David Kenney (4* with 12 offers).

I really like what I'm seeing so far this year in regards to strength and speed development.  Now it's up to the other coaches to hone in on their specialty to develop player position.  It's seems like a completely different vibe with the entire program this year and I hope it translates into more wins on the field.

12-0  Going to the playoffs baby.

I don’t blame him. We were the idiots who hired a cheater. Then self reported and hired a bad coach simply because he was clean. 

I blame Kelvin Sampson for a lot of the heart ache we Hoosiers have gone through.  How he's still coaching is beyond me. 
And this article is just click bait.  We all know how well last year's bunch of guys played.  They all bought in and got better over the season.  I'm really excited to see how they do this year.

I'm actually a little more optimistic this year than I was last year.  Adding another QB with RPO experience really boosted my glass half full outlook.  I've mentioned on here before but I think they have a really good chance to start off the season 4-1.  And of the other remaining games on the schedule I think there are 4 games (home: Iowa, Maryland, Purdue; away: Minnesota) that might be winnable.  And if they can run the ball and stop the run they'll win more than we're accustom to seeing, might even get an upset or two in.

I totally agree.  I guess the mantra of "You can't teach/coach speed" is out the window when it comes to Dr. Rhea.  Am I wrong?  I really like seeing a bunch of defensive players on that list.  Surely it will, at a minimum, help with pursuit tackling, right?
