(2027) DL Jalen Brewster (5*) to TTU

[Lebowski]

Oh man, things have gotten just a little more interesting! I'm salivating with our current defensive front yet alone adding Brewster to the mix.

Is Cuban our lead recruiter ?

I'm good with Coach Kuntz man. He's been hitting doubles and triples since he's been in Bloomington. Dude can recruit. 

[AKHoosier]

So he's essentially uncommitted at this point. 

I feel good about our chances, especially with all the connections and momentum we have.

Can't help but feel like Kiffin and LSU will be a major player here.

Is it only me, or do y’all open this thread with great anticipation every time there’s a new post?

Sales better hurry up or else he won’t be our first 5 star high school recruit.  
 

Being the only national championship winner to have never had a 5 star high school recruit will almost certainly be something that will never be matched

Got 10 months. I’d advise not deciding how you feel until he comes across the ticker on signing day.

Wooohoo

Welcome

to the waiting game...

Still a long shot but having a lot of ties to the state of Indiana has its perks!

TTU had plenty of their D drafted.  I think that matters.  IU only putting ponds in round 2 and then Aiden late may have some implications on the higher rated recruits.  We are still getting them out of the portal and developing the talent we have so I think once we get some of our line guys in we will be in business (assuming we don't lose Haines).

Tucker and specifically Landino will both be drafted. I am not sure Landino plays his SR year here.

CJ West is already playing on Sundays. He played in 14 games last year had 2 TFLs and a sack. There will be more. 

Coaching matters.

I forgot about CJ.  I don't doubt we will have more.  TTU is just recent and since he's committed there already that may be a factor to recruiting against us (not to mention for OSU who also had their top guys on D go in rounds 1-2).  I am not at all concerned.  Look at how Ndukwe has developed.  We've got talent there in our young guys not to mention we portalled the K State guys who if they develop may go as well.  It's a real shame Wyatt and Daly were hurt because I have no doubt with the year they were both having they would have been drafted as well.  More concerned about losing our staff that develops these guys so well.  How much longer do we keep Kuntz before he gets poached?

[Lebowski]

Kuntz will be gone to bigger and better things in the very near future if I had to guess. As he should. 

I fully expect Osunsanmi to have a monster year.
