I highly suggest everyone listen to Eric’s Twitter spaces from last night. A great window into the thought process of the staff on recruiting.

Also mentioned we don’t really lead for the ‘24s. The way things went with Bates has caused some pause in the staffs recruitment of freshman in his opinion vs the pro/con of getting transfer guys. It’s interesting. No one really knows the best strategy right now but our staff appears to be leaning transfer portal.

This all makes sense — haven’t listened but thanks for summarizing. Just a couple thoughts:

1. Bates is a strange poster child for this, though I’m sure there are other examples in the minds of the staff. Even someone like Sensabaugh — pretty quick recruitment, they were pretty early, and he was good enough to be one and done…but so bad on defense that he didn’t contribute much to winning.  Back to Bates: they didn’t invest a ton of time, and it’s not like they had years of scouting and relationship. I’m sure they did due diligence, but a late riser who played on a national prep team…it’s not insane to me that he’d have the first two years he had, especially given the changes in his personal life

2. There’s some irony in leaning towards transfers because of the variety of frustrations of recruiting high schoolers, and then going for Ware, who exemplifies some of those things well. To be clear, I think he’ll succeed at IU.

3. Probably preaching to the choir but I think going forward, it’ll be rare for a high major program to go ALL IN on either frosh or transfers — there will always be TJD types, JHS types, Hulls, Cupps, Galloway, Haralson, Sisley types, and so on. There are years, like after coaching changes, where you’re heavy on transfers. There will be years that are the opposite.

I doubt it. He would have everybody good transfer out each year. Then have to replace the whole team

Yep.  Honestly though as bad as he had it after IU I think Archie will have it worse.  On the off chance he does develop a player. A coach with an actual personality is just going to poach them

Ok, “all other things being equal” he would’ve benefitted from it.

What I'm hearing is that we need to give Tommy Crean another shot, no?

From the same Twitter account.  It’s not a huge one — 8300 followers — but still.

 

 

That's a really solid haul for IU. Are we thinking Ware plays WR and Ledlum TE?

IF (!) they're announcing soon I think the odds increase they're coming to Btown but it's not over until it's over.

Per Tipton, IU, along with everyone else, has reached out to LJ Cryer.

Committed to Houston which was the expectation.

[Golfman25]

I think the portal will work itself out once the extra Covid eligibility is used up.

For what is worth…College football Transfer Portal predicted Cryer to Houston and sure enough, he just committed to the cougars.
