2022 IU Football Recruiting Thread

Greg Gaines and Shawn Miller both scheduled to announce their commitments tomorrow. Any thoughts on where we stand and our shot at getting either of them?

While I definitely hope we get one of them, I won’t be totally stressed if we don’t- that room is full of talent and with Omar in the fold I think we are looking good - will be someone to come available through the portal,late bloomer, decommit etc...
 
What prospects outside of Strickland and Caden Curry are we in a good position with? I realize we must be in decent shape with Payne, the 4* Cincy RB...

I'd like to get a couple of hitters at safety.

Yes based on the databases it shows we offered. Also it shows he came on an official visit. Who knows maybe as time went on he wasn’t interested in us or we weren’t in him. I would imagine though it is all about the verbal commitment domino impact. Opportunity vs needs.
 
IU offered Miller didn't they?

A) I was joking. (As a slight aimed at Illinois) [evidently it wasn't a good joke or I wouldn't have to explain it].

B) we "offered" over 200+ guys depending on whose recruiting site you're reading... Clearly those "offers" are considered contingent on an ever evolving set of circumstances (as in, is the position number of slots now "full", etc...).

I’m sure Indiana players spend time with a recruit on their visit, and they provide feedback to the coaches. I wonder how much they can persuade the staff, from “yes, he’d be a good fit” to “this guy is toxic.” I’d hate to see a cancer added to the locker room.

I've never thought about this but I could see that. I'd hope/expect the upperclassmen leaders have enough of a relationship with CTA to be able to talk straight with him about recruits they're spending time with.

Rivals & Peegs both have offer lists. This list is intended to be a condensed version of guys I feel IU has a legit shot at.

Again, I know only what I've read on-line---no personal knowledge. The comments about who 'leads', initially, are all from the 247 site. IU offers of Indiana players ranked by 247 & Rivals are noted as such.

I'd welcome comments about additions and deletions. Also, errors.

So here goes: (130 as of 7/13/21)
