Recruits in town for IU-OSU

[HoosierReb01 7,591]

As you would expect the IU vs OSU game today is bringing in a full house, including a number of recruiting targets. Many of the targets will be players for 2017 and '18, but there are a number for 2016 also. Of particular note are the visits by (2016) University of Michigan commit Brandon Peters, (2016) University of Michigan commit Chris Evans, (2017) Miami of Ohio commit Deandre Huff, (2017) UCLA commit Jaquan Henderson and several uncommitted prospects in (2016) Coy Cronk, (2017) Kurt Taylor, and (2017) Bryant Fitzgerald. This is only a partial listing of recruits, but it looks like a great group to get in for the game.

Are these guys just driving down to see the game....or on a recruiting visit?

Unofficial visits I believe, so its on their own dime.

Thanks...but what I'm asking is...will they be on the sidelines, meeting with coaches, touring facilities....or just in the stands to watch the game?

Are there indications that a couple of the commits might be wavering a bit and thus the door is slightly ajar for us to make another run at them?

They will be on the sidelines, with coaches, also touring facilities. Just like an official visit, but with the money coming out of their own pockets.

Haven't seen anything, and some of the local guys may just be taking the visit to get to see the game. But you never know, and if they are there, you are at least going to get a shot to get in their ear. It may say more that the guys from Georgia and elsewhere are paying their own way for the visit. Kurt Taylor has made a number of visits already on his own dime, so I would think he is seriously considering IU. Regardless, its a good thing to get them on campus and take a shot. I doubt that CKW and staff have ever quit making a run at them.

This staff has had a lot of success flipping commits from other schools. Off the top of my head I can think of Sudfeld, Latham, Booth, Austin King. If we get to a bowl I expect 2-3 instate flips this year.

Who was Sudfeld originally committed to?

Thinking AZ. Believe he was looking for a new home when RichRod took over.
