That's why it is an odd choice. You would have thought Bell would go to a school with an established QB. Also be surprised if they give Sindelar an extra season.

I'd rather have Wandale Robinson than David Bell. I just dont feel Bell is as good as Rondale Moore. He'll be a good Freshman but I haven't lost much sleep over it.
Yeah, I think Sindelar stands almost no chance of getting an extra year. Generally players needs to miss the bulk of 2 years to injury to get the 6th year. 2018 was the only year he “missed” significant time, but he was also played in 2 games, and dressed/warmed up in all others, so it’s even a stretch for 2018 to qualify as a missed year. I’m sure he wasn’t 100%, but that’s not really the purpose of the 6th year.
I thought Sindelar was better than Blough. He had a rough start this year and that might have been a hangover from the injury. Blough got better. Sindelar will probably get better. Brohm seems to do a good job with QB's. Maybe we should have showcased our talent there if we wanted to draw guys like Bell. We didn't.
Come on...you know this guy's act. It isn't about not wanting Green, it is about belittling anything IU does. His stripes don't change.
There was an IU hat on the table but it looked like something from the Mallory era, wasn't even the approved school logo and color scheme. I think a family member got it at Wal-Mart on the way in. He wasn't coming here. Bell wasn't an IU fan. He also wanted to stay close to home. OSU might have been a serious option had they not had their coaching turmoil and decided to stay on the kid but they dropped him like a lead balloon several months ago.
Some of this may go back to Warren Central's coach, Jayson West, who coached Tre Roberson and saw what happened with Tre at IU under Wilson. Don't believe he is a big IU guy.
Well, the other poster posed the question so I was providing an answer. Since I wasn't responding to you I don't know why you apparently did care enough to speak up.
Wait.
You posted a message on a message board, and somebody responded?
I can understand your surprise.
Really? We could not have beat the teams we beat with Penix? I don't believe that. You don't win 6 games it doesn't really matter. Might as well have played for the future.
That is a bummer fir the PUers as the IU hat missing was bigger for them than getting Bell.
I know you are shocked that this guy wrote a post worshipping Brohm. Left you speechless.
Whatever the case may be, let's not compare Bell in football to Romeo in basketball or Purdue football to IU basketball. Romeo was almost the highest rated recruit in basketball and IU basketball is one of the best college basketball programs, whereas Bell is not close to being the highest rated recruit and PU football is a .500 program at best.
Maybe you should look at Timian a transfer and Paige a walk-in have done with a lot less talent.
How was their slot guy the year before?
