(2019) DB Tiawan Mullen to IU

[schoosier]

Congratulations and welcome IU. Hope the staff keeps momentum on the field also.

Hoping Larry Tracy’s contact with David Bell pays off as well. Not crossing my fingers but hope it pays off

Would be surprised if Bell picked IU. Appears to be between Purdue and Penn State as of now but things can change of course.

Unless Purdue has a stud QB waiting in the wings I don't know why any WR would want to be there right now. Moore is having success only because he is able to run sweeps and screens. Once he gets the ball he does the rest. Bell is not that type of WR.

Excited to get a four-star. I'm hoping that will lead to more and maybe even -- gasp! -- a five-star! ... As always with verbals, however, I remain a tad skeptical until the LOI is in hand. Coaches won't be shy about continuing to recruit him.

Yeah I’d say Penn state is in drivers seat. And an 0-2 start doesn’t help you guys.

They are pretty excited about the kid I think his name is jack Plummer they signed him in most recent recruiting class

If they end with a 2 or 3 win season, will they be able to keep those 4-star recruits though?

It’s not great but it could really sell the idea that Purdue really needs Bell to step in and be a stud next year. He’s seeing how Rondale is utilized and how he’d be an integral part of the offense. Can Penn State say the same thing? For what it’s worth, Josh Helmholdt at rivals predicted Bell to Purdue in an article from a few days ago.

You must have missed his first touchdown when he made a great catch across the middle of the field and scored. The guy is a really good slot receiver who can also do damage with sweeps and screens. 

Jack Plummer will be a really good one IMO. There was talk that Michigan, Oregon, and USC were after Plummer hard but he said no and enrolled early luckily.

I think they keep karlafstis (spelling is wrong ik). He wants to play at home and good for him. He will be a stud. The others I don’t know much about I know we semi recruited Stephen Fauchenaux early and often but we fell off early as well. Idk about the kid from detroit. Mershawn Rice (high 3 Star) we were heavily into before he gave his verbal. I haven’t heard how involved we still are there. I doubt we are as we have several good WR targets left on the board. Tj Sheffield, we were semi involved enough to get his attention but I don’t think he was a true player in this class until we tried to make a run after ND took back his scholly or whatever happened there. Ik Purdue was always heavily involved. That’s about what I know on most verbals in Purdue’s class. I’m sure they will keep most kids but I could see maybe 1-2 leaving if purdue doesn’t have a stellar year. Brohm is a great recruiter but so is Allen and I think some people need to give him some credit where it is due. I’ve seen people still dog on Allen even tho I think this recent class and this class he’s building now is a couple of the most impressive classes since I’ve followed IU football. Rankings are mid 40s basically. It’s not too 30 but I’ll take what we are getting.

Of course it depends but I don’t think any of the commitments are at risk to jump ship at least right now. All of them would have a legit chance to play right away next year which is a nice option for them.

Mike Penix is better than Plummer. And Bell should take a look at our WRs to see what team can develop WRs better. If the choice was between IU and PU, this is a no brainer. 

He’s better based on what? You do realize you could make the argument that your receivers were developed more by the previous regime than the current one? If the choice was only between IU and Purdue, he’d be wearing the black and gold. Brohm’s offensive reputation and the early playing time at Purdue are huge for Bell.

Boiler - I give you props for defending your guy, and I am truly glad you post on this board, but this miiiiiight not be the best week to defend the offensive genius of Brohm  :)

Penix would beat out Blough and Sindelaar. Grant Heard is one of the best WR coaches in the country. And Debord has ran more high profile offenses than Brohm. His scheme didnt even net 20 pts against Eastern Michigan! Lol.

Lol he wouldn't beat out Sindelar.  Sindelar is better than Ramsey and Penix didn't beat him out.  Care to elaborate on why Heard is one of the best WR coaches in the country?  Purdue's WR coach is a really good recruiter and Bell has a great relationship with him.

I know. And I'm reasonably sure Brohm is good. But still.

Why is Sindelar better than Ramsey?

Fair enough.  Definitely wasn't expecting that last weekend but losing to NW didn't surprise me.

I think he's more talented with a better arm and better potential.  I think he has NFL-potential.
