(2024) QB Tyler Cherry TO INDIANA

[Stuhoo 80,726]

Feels like a case of wanted to sign with IU all along, but not if it was a crap program.

From a poster on another board and a great play on words.

Cignificant!

Nice pickup.

Cignetti has really done a lot in a little time. I can't wait to see IU winning games and actually becoming bowl eligible, and I think he has the program going that direction.

Big pick up! Need some OL and DL added and more on the D in general but feeling better about the direction with recruits and transfers (and the retained not transferring).

HUGE get.

Wanted this one. A staff with a history of developing QBs gets to work with a 4*.

So we’ve got Cherry and Mendoza in 2024? That’s nice!

Yeah, I though one or the other but not both. On the other hand, competition is the best path to being good.

CCC has come to play.

This is probably a really stupid question, so I apologize for not taking the time to do my own research....but is Dexter no longer a Hoosier, and who will likely start at QB next season game 1?

He (Dexter) is not, he went into the portal. I haven't seen a destination.

Likely starting QB would be Rourke, the Ohio transfer.

Gotta be one of the higher ranked QBs to ever commit to IU?

For whatever it is worth, ON3 and Dex's social media pages show a fair amount of interest in Georgia Southern.  Who knows where he will end up, but it seems like the right level for him to see the field.

I would think No. 1 would be Gunner Kiel. Of course, he decommitted and never played in B-town. 

I think the top-ranked QB ever to actually play here would be Dave Schnell. He was at IU when I was there -- probably my favorite all-time Hoosiers football player.  Unfortunately, he passed in 2011 from cancer. 

This is from an article when Kiel committed in 2011, looking at the top recruits in IU history ... 

 

Dave Schnell - 1985, Elkhart (Ind.) Central - was named the number

one football recruit nationally by Sports Illustrated. Also named Parade

Magazine All-America first team and Bally's All-America first team. Chose

Indiana despite being recruited by the likes of Joe Paterno, Bo Schembechler and

Howard Schnellenberger. 6-foot-3, 218-pounds as a high school senior. In his

final game as a Hoosier he was named MVP of Liberty Bowl after throwing for 378

yards in a 34-10 win against South Carolina. In 1987 he led Indiana to their

first win over Michigan in 20 years. Indiana also beat Ohio State in Columbus

that year, 31-10. An appendicitis attack prevented him from playing late in the

1988 season at Michigan State, a game that had a Rose Bowl berth on the line.

Died this May after a long battle with leukemia. He was just 44-years old.

I was at that MSU game and was treated poorly by them as we got blown out.
