Wow! This picture of (left to right) Coach Woodson, Yogi Ferrell, and Jakai Newton is outstanding!

The “new” road crimsons are gorgeous. Wow.

Mike Schumann @ The Daily Hoosier @daily_hoosier

Just had a good talk with 2023 guard Jakai Newton. He had a really good visit at Indiana this weekend, and there is strong interest in IU. More to come with a Q&A

[Demo 19,611]

Moms always get it.

Post-visit Q and A and if you follow Jakai's mother on Twitter, she's as enthusiastic about their visit as was Noah Clowney's mother.

Great work @Mike Schumann, I always appreciate your ability to quickly establish rapport with these young men. Fascinating to hear how our 'peer group' for recruits has evolved over the past 6 months with CMW and staff coming on board, consistently hearing Alabama, Va Tech, Georgia, Georgia Tech, etc. is a swift departure from the days of Miller's 'inside out' approach.

Interesting that he singled out Johnson. From what I’ve seen of him, if he views himself as a PG and they’re looking at him as one, he would very much be a Johnson-style attacking downhill player. Just not sure he’s that good a natural facilitator. But, God, he is so explosive. Nobody stays in front of him.

As always, kudos Mike.

You are truly a must read for avid Hoosier fans.

It’s great to hear that Yas doesn’t just have “a reputation“ as a great recruiter: he really has the goods!

[Class of '66 Old Fart 83,918]

Alex Bozich with a Q and A.  One thing I caught in this one is Newton commenting that he's younger than most people in his class.

You know what in-state recruits want? Good teammates and a good team. Seems like Woody et. al realize in-state relationships will pay off but talent grows other places too.

Seems to be a Rosemond thing. Clowney, Carr, Newton, all young for their class.

It'll be interesting to see what happens here. IU appears to be in a really good spot with Newton

Wow, Jakai must be 6'9" cause he looks an easy 9" taller than Yogi!

Of the interviews he’s given, this one with Rabby is probably the gushiest. Seemed pretty blown away that fans were cheering him at the football game. This fan base never misses a chance to make an impression.
