(2027) RB Da’Jon Talley-Rhodes to INDIANA

[Pagoda]

4* out of DC.  He's announcing June 3rd.  He recently moved up his official visit with us to this weekend.  So, if one connects the dots here we've got a good chance.

5'10.5", 210 for a running back. That's prototypical IU bellcow running back size. #478 national composite recruit. Really good get.

I know we have had several RBs visit. But he would be the first RB commit to this class IF the prediction holds.  Aside from our 3 that we know will be in the rotation this season do we have a lot of younger talent in the RB room already?  Will we take another RB in this class?

Yes.

We have one true freshman that our staff said nice things about, and both Khobie and Turbo have multiple years of eligibility.

I'm thinking we will not - the room is getting full with multi-year players.

Would say that a kid extolling how much he’s looking forward to visiting again when his announcement date is 3 days away seems, I don’t know, pretty promising.

He picked up a couple of crystal ball predictions on 24/7 over the weekend. And On3 currently has him at a 96.3% commitment predication to IUFB. Another DMV area recruit liking what he sees in the 812.

Looks like he's set to announce for tomorrow?

Do we not prep these kids to not say University of Indiana

It's nice getting some more 4* to commit, hopefully they stick to signing day.

I guess it should be 100% expected; the 2027 class will be the highest rated class in program history.

[skhoosier2]

Good pick up. 2 today is good. Hopefully they stay. When is the actual signing day?

Not until February.

I wonder what our highest-ever class was ranked? I remember the years in which we would have sadly had the 6th best class in Conference USA ( no, that is not a joke).

Scout 247 currently has us ranked 31st, with eleven 3*, sandwiched between Syracuse and Kansas State but we will really jump if we land Sales and a couple of other targets.

Isn't there some kind of very limited early signing window sometime in Nov/Dec?

Yes, there is a three day early signing window beginning Dec 4th.

Based on his signing video I have a sneaking suspicion that he is far from a guarantee to make it to signing day.

I feel like that on almost every football "commit" until they actually sign on the dotted line.

Every kid is different. Given the complete Ohio State interest and shunning already, I'd be pretty surprised if Reinaldo Perez flips, but Talley is from DC and seems to know very little about the school he committed to.
