Shanahan appears to be an ace recruiter judging by what he just did in a week in the receiver room. Sunseri's dad was a big name recruiter and it looks like his son is off to a good start at QB.

And defense. We need pass rushers.Probably helps that the 3 have a history together of having awesome passing offenses.
The remaining question mark will be the offensive line hopefully the silent verbals are lineman
Agreed, still many vital needs before a product I envision on the field makes IUFB viable. But sure not complaining about the momentum I see this staff has created. I keep keying on Cignetti's statement about fighting complacency EVERYday. To me that is his brand.And defense. We need pass rushers.
CCC definitely has a successful blueprint in the works. Sit back, watch & smile.Agreed, still many vital needs before a product I envision on the field makes IUFB viable.

we certainly have a lot of players to choose from on the OL, just not a lot of experience. maybe bostad sees something we don't.Probably helps that the 3 have a history together of having awesome passing offenses.

The guy has won everywhere he has been. My opinion on next season is that we have 3 games that should be gimmes on the schedule. Then we have 3 or 4 that are likely losses. That leaves 5 or 6 games to get 3 wins. Tall order but if we get a bowl in one year then we could see this take off.
To date it does not look like recruiting is Bostad's strength. His incoming class was pretty unheralded and he did not do a great job on retention. He's clearly not Mr. Personality, but on the flip side I think whomever he coaches is going to develop so I'll take any recruiting shortcoming in exchange for great coaching. If there is one position where coaching seems to matter more than any other its oline.
Austin Barrett was someone else we needed to keep. He should be getting playing time soon.
That's not funny 🙉oh oh, he's gotten himself into a bit of trouble
Austin Barrett becomes first of 4 killers to receive sentence for David Grunwald’s murder
On Friday, Austin Barrett became the first of four convicted killers to be sentenced for his role in the murder of Palmer teenager David Grunwald.www.alaskasnewssource.com
just kidding
Seems like Carter and Wedig probably have a leg up on the tackle spots. Is Barrett someone that can play guard?
I'd be very surprised if they don't end up here...JMU has 3 OL in the portal. 1 opted out of Bowl game. Tyler Stephen's, Tyshawn Wyatt, and Carter Miller who opted out.
The guy who is the starting center for the Texans now?(but P$U won a lot of games starting a guy with similar measurables),
Lost track of him... He played for the Colts for awhile... Don't even recall his name...The guy who is the starting center for the Texans now?
When you said he was undersized I thought the guy was going to be like 250 lbs or something. Are you referring to his height? I don’t think his measurables for a center are off at all. He is almost identical to Michigan’s starting center who is only an inch taller and basically the same weight. Smith is listed at 6’1 296 on 247. I don’t see that as undersized at all. Move him out to tackle and I’d agree he is way undersized, but he is of adequate size for a center. You don’t have to be 6’5 or taller to play center. Kelce is listed as 6’3 which considering these measurements change is not a significant difference.Miller is a somewhat undersized Center (but P$U won a lot of games starting a guy with similar measurables),
Texans drafted him in 23.Lost track of him... He played for the Colts for awhile... Don't even recall his name...
No I'm talking about a guy drafted in 2009 by the Steelers: A. Q. ShipleyTexans drafted him in 23.
Position coaches recruit a region of the country. They will be the first to make in person contact. The position coaches go into a school. Usually in the spring. They will meet with high school coaches. The high school coaches will identify their players that they believe are potential prospects. The HS coaches will share video on that prospect. The coach will usually get a visual and greet the prospect to make sure the prospect does meet the measurables, sometimes HS coaches may embellish ht or wt. the prospect. After verifying measurables the coach will send video to position coach and possibly coordinator. Once they identify the player as a true prospect then the regional coach, the position coach and coordinator may meet with the player. They then may set up a visit and then of course eventually set up a home visit with the coaches including the head coach. But basically it is the regional coach that has initial contact and starts to build the relationship with the prospect.Do position coaches just recruit their position or do they recruit a region of the country where they have contacts?
It's also possible that Bostad actually is going after (aka wanting) the OL recruits that the media has ranked low. His ranking of recruits may be vastly different than what the media ranks. OL is probably the hardest position to rank given the nature of their position.
Premature to judge any recruiting until you see the results but doubly so with lineman IMO.
According to the Texans he's 6'3" .We have now established that PSU sends undersized center to the NFL.
His draft notes said he was undersized for an NFL line IIRC.
Yeah, I realize it’s the norm, but I was just saying that 6’1 or 6’2 is not uncommon or in any way a limitation considering teams much better than IU that have guys in that position the same size. Baltimore Ravens starting center is list at 6’2 and he is out of Iowa. So, whereas I do agree most are taller I still don’t think that limits his potential at that position. I’m 6’3 and don’t see a major difference when standing next to a person 6’1. I can’t speak for his talent level as I’ve never seen him play, but I think he has sufficient size to play OC at any level if he’s talented enough.You don't see a lot of 6'1" Centers in the NFL and since I consider the Big Ten just a half step below the NFL I consider 6'3" and up the norm (and yeah, I know the Michigan C is 6'2"...) - /for oly97/
Jeff Saturday was undersized (played for North Carolina)Lost track of him... He played for the Colts for awhile... Don't even recall his name...
I sure hope so. But after so many years of nothing it becomes a bit of “wake me when it happens”.CCC definitely has a successful blueprint in the works. Sit back, watch & smile.
Well..., we won't get to find out if he can play in the Big Ten. He's reported to have signed with ULM (another Sun Belt team). Evidently someone had doubts as to his ability to play here...Yeah, I realize it’s the norm, but I was just saying that 6’1 or 6’2 is not uncommon or in any way a limitation considering teams much better than IU that have guys in that position the same size.
