(2016) DE Allen Cater

[akhosrof]

Going to be a crazy period leading up to signing day. We may lose a guy or two, but with all the coaching changes I am sure we will flip some real good recruits and come out ahead.

[ThompsonHoosier]

I hated Bielema when he was at Wisconsin and I hate him now. Guy is such a d.o.u.c.h.e. just remembering how he would run up the score against us makes me mad!

[Dalton26]

I don't blame him for running it up. If you don't want it done to you then figure out how to stop it.

[hoosierwhodey]

I really like Allen Carter. Hope we can hang on to this one.

[lucel15]

I think we can. He would be a bad A bandit

[akhosrof]

Don't worry CKW is on it!

Well, can't say I'm surprised. Had a feeling he was liking the attention quite a bit.

[Naturalhoosier]

Booooooo

[lucel15]

He won't play anywhere big. He could've played asap here

[Miller'sTheMan]

His loss

Is being recruited by Arkansas, North Carolina, and South Carolina and many others. I think he will be okay

As creans man his loss. That's all I meant. He wants to play. We can give him that.

[hoosierwhodey]

This one hurts. Hopefully we can flip a few of our own.

You can never count on these early commitments and they shouldn't even matter. Always looking for the next best offer. None of them are safe! Why even accept them that early?

Actually CKW and staff have a pretty good record of retaining commitments. We flip more than we lose. Either way, you end up recruiting players right up until signing day. For the most part, this staff doesn't accept too many early commits. On the other hand, there are some players who want to make a decision before their senior season and if you refuse to accept them, you may be taking yourself right out of their recruitment. If he's high enough on your list, you accept and go from there. Not all of them are looking for better offers.

We typically don't. We get most of our commits closer to signing day.

[Naturalhoosier]

The flip side, decommits mean that we are gaining momentum in the recruiting world.  We are after higher caliber players that others want to flirt with.  That's my macro-level silver-lining.
