KDB Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 While Johnson was brought up in the College Football thread, I figured i'd make it's own thread. Under 30 minutes ago, Matt Weaver published an article on Peegs that the Hoosiers were expected to be in the mix for Johnson. Before committing to Clemson in 2016, Johnson committed to Tennessee when current Indiana offensive coordinator Mike Debord and QB's coach Nick Sheridan were on the UT staff. Weaver says sources tell Peegs that Johnson has developed a very good relationship with the two coaches, and that is one factor working in IU's favor. Another positive for the Hoosiers listed in the piece is that Indiana strength and conditioning coach David Ballou was the strength coach at Avon HS when Johnson's older brother Cole played for the Orioles. The family reportedly thinks highly of Coach Ballou and the job he did working with their son. A head coach at an Indiana high school also informed Weaver that Indiana is expected to be squarely in the mix for Johnson whenever he decides to make a decision.

Hurryin' Hoosiers Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 he doesn't really fit the mold of dual-threat that Allen wants. Guess they would take that kind of talent regardless of fit. Quote
ThompsonHoosier Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 Another positive for us is that our QB roster is less crowded. As of now, we will likely have Ramsey and Penix fighting for the starting job after the 2018 season. Purdue will likely have (at least on scholarship): Senior- Elijah Sindelar RS So- Griffin Alstott Rs So- Nick Sipe Rs Fr- Jack Plummer Northwestern will probably have the starting job open after Clayton Thorson graduates this year (he also tore his ACL at the end of last season so he may not be back in 2018). As far I as can tell, after the 2018 season they will have on their roster: RS Fr- Jason Whittaker RS So- Andrew Marty RS Jr- Aidan Smith Sr- TJ Green Quote
Hoosier116 Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 From what I have seen and heard he is fairly mobile. Not necessarily Brandon Dawkins or anything in terms of running but he can move... Quote
lucel15 Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 He’s not a dual threat kid but tested as the most athletic QB back at the opening when he was in HS. He ran for 700+ yards and ran track at brownsburg. He’s not Dawkins or Jalen hurts but he’s not just a pure pocket passer. Class of '66 Old Fart, mamasa and Crimson and Cream 3 Quote

The kids are athletic as his brother went from QB to walk on to play safety at Northwestern (played safety towards the end of his HS career). RBB89, Class of '66 Old Fart and mamasa 3 Quote

Either way someone is getting a good young QB. Quote

He is no longer there. He’s actually at Dental school at IU I believe. I just believe NW is in the running from the family ties and if I remember right he did at least take several Unofficial visits to NW while his bro was there. Dalton26 1 Quote

A senior Sindelar will be good and I like Plummer a lot. Will be interesting to see what Hunter does. Quote
schoosier Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 A friend and Clemson graduate said he is a really good player. It’s loaded at QB in tiger town and Sunshine had a couple of TD’s in the spring game. Probably a similar situation that AL had last year where their best QB will be a back up for awhile. Quote
HoosierDYT Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 I heard northwestern is the leader and IU is in it but not the favorite Quote

KDB Posted June 11, 2018 Author Posted June 11, 2018 Hunter has chosen Northwestern. He took visits to NW, Purdue, IU, and Duke per Steve Wiltfong. Quote
