Their recruiting is in the toilet. Actually, it's nearly made it all the way to the sewage treatment plant...
They are in on close to 33 JC players at last check (so much for their supposed "high" academic standards)... That number tells me one thing: they are desperate...
Brohm is a good OC & QB coach which is fortunate for him. He should still have plenty of coaching slots available to him after his most recent career mistake goes south...
I'd stick with the list we have and let pu keep what little they've got. (IMO)
Counted em myself.
Not saying you'll take that many, just that per the recruiting services (about a month ago) you (pu) had expressed "interest" in that many.
Be Fair 10 Year, not all JC kids don't have high academics, (in general, I'd say that's fair, but...) on my youngest sons team, they have a couple of kids that went to Group of 5 schools, had their bodies change significantly, went to JC so they could continue to "play into their bodies" and then went Power 5.
Each of them would've, and Beery still might, though I think he'll probably stick with his pledge.
Really , why? Brohm hasn't distinguished himself as some outstanding recruiter. IU has 4 Buckets and 2 Bowls in a row, if I were a kid coming out of HS right now, I'd feel a heck of a lot better about IU than PU.
Actually did pretty good at his time at Ole Miss, picked up a few 4 stars and some high end 3 stars. I think brohm will do well in recruting, but i dont think IU will fall off the map like many of your bolier buddy's think we will
Seeing as how we are IN Indiana, I think that is pretty important, not to mention our staff has been recruiting together for quite a while now and working the same plan. You don't even have a staff yet, I'm sure Brohm will recruit better than Hazell did, but that isn't saying much, and Brohm certainly hasn't shown an ability to put a good defense together.
No. Baylor talked to him and UC would've hired him, but no Oregon. Good coach who's been a lot of places.
I wouldn't be so sure that IU's staff will remain intact. Several coaches will have legit opportunities to move.
Hilarious, glad you're happy, he certainly wasn't first choice of you boily fans who were drooling over Miles and Fleck a week ago. Some of your fans also don't believe he was the AD's first choice, but good luck, you better hope he can out score everyone. Looking at your roster that isn't going to happen anytime soon.
And have had those opportunities in the past, which must mean they are pretty good. If a couple leave so be it, I'd still rather be in Allen's shoes with his roster, his staff and his commits, as opposed to a bad roster , no staff, and getting a late start on recruiting.
Probably the first choice of those who were interested, but not likely the top choice overall. He's a good hire and he'll have a chance to succeed there.
Think all you want, there was a lot of hand wringing going on, I remember when you all were "thrilled" with Hazell.And national pundits thought that was a good hire also, LOL. Now why are you here ?
Ok, he gave up 99 points to La Tech in 2 games, and he is about to step up about 10 notches in SOS.
They took IU to the end in their last two trips to Bloomington, so the roster differences may be closer than you think. And Brohm has experience as a college head coach, something Allen does not. IU's last decorated coordinator hire to the head position had some growing pains, as you might recall. Hope the transition to Allen is much smoother.
I'm quite confident in Allen, listen to those that have played for him. Point differentials mean little in rivalries, bottom line, 4 in a row.
Only took about 45 minutes for them to even mention defense in the presser, and against their schedule being ranked 37th is nothing to write home about.
