The oldest McCullough, Deland II, a Safety transfer from Miami (OH) has announced his commitment to IU - one more to go ; )

 

 

 

I find it interesting that all his kids play on defense. You’d think there’d be at least one RB, WR or TE in the group.

Dasan (the ones that committed to Ohio state) took Ohio state commit out of his Twitter bio. [emoji102]

You gotta be elite, elite speed to play RB, almost always. 

Defense is where the athletes are.

Ideally, yes but it doesn’t always turn out that way (see Stevie Scott). Desan doesn’t have the body for RB but if he has the hands he’d be perfect for TE. I believe he runs a 4.74 40 already. I don’t know what Daeh’s and Deland Jr’s speed and agility are rated at but Daeh is already a pretty big kid for a CB. He may end up as big as Desan by the time he graduates HS.

Daeh is a prototype for a Safety. 

Stevie still ran a 4.66. But could they play RB sure.. but they aren't sniffing a RB position in the NFL.

Not sure where to put this/what to make of this, but Coach Warren dropped a 'fun' little GIF on the Twitter yesterday - make of it as you wish, potential McCullough tea leaves?!

All the coaches tweet them out when someone commits. Deland II committed yesterday.

Awww good call, you're probably right - I forgot about the DMC 2 commit.

Still feel for Mike. Hope he can get healthy and compete ALL season as he certainly deserves it.

IU ranked 11th in ESPN power rankings.

Some stupid errors in the analysis but good publicity.

Our first five-star?

(I'm not sure how recruiting rankings worked way back in the day, but I'm assuming that Dave Schnell, Anthony Thompson and possibly Vaughn Dunbar would've been five stars?)

Schnell was labled as the best player in the country by Sports Illustrated coming into college so he’s gotta be the highest “rated” prospect of all time. I know AT was a Parade All American but I don’t know if that lands him in the top 30 in the country or not since it’s based on position and not overall top prospect. 
 

Even if this kid comes here, I don’t expect to be getting a 5 star-esque caliber of player. He was clearly overrated coming into USC but would provide valuable depth and production filling in for Stevie. I’m not sold on Sampson James yet but I hope he’ll make strides working with DMC

Wow. I live 15 minutes from ODU.

3 home games in the non con that year. ODU, Indiana State, and Louisville. I’ve been waiting for that series for years.
