…..with the Barrett commitment today. Can we clone 3 more of him?
Need more of him in the O-line.

Barrett is a good pick up on the OL and I hope several more come to commit to the Hoosiers in the coming weeks.
Tyler Jeffries 6-5 315 OG will be committing Tuesday 5.7 3 Star out of Tennessee leaning IU .
Kid has a good frame. Also the conference/area he plays at is full of good competition.
Looking at his profile it appears he is visiting FSU today. I hope on Tuesday he chooses IU
Lean, rangy, athletic. Like you say 3 more like him and also roster 4 more road graders. The better their feet the better for IUFB. Gotta have them to run effectively and pass efficiently. Talent at the skill positions can then make plays. Really can't wait to see Bell's offense, game planning, scheming and play calling. If he is a good manager of the above we could be in for a treat.
Agree. And he’s actually up to 6’7, 270 per 247.
It seems Hiller can recruit. His coaching not so much. Can't we find an Oline coach that can do both.
Don’t forget Coach Carey former IU lineman ,head coach NIU and Temple my thoughts Allen didn’t add him for SGrins.
The question is why not just replace Hiller with Carey. Carey can't coach on the field or recruit in his current position. If his job is to teach Hiller how to coach then you might as well just let Carey coach.
Since practice starts Monday who knows if he is or he isn’t on the field.I do know the NCAA has bigger things to worry about than who is on the practice field at IU with the OL.
Welcome Austin Barrett!! Very good pick up on the OL.
Love that he said he woke up today as a Hoosier!!

I believe Hiller has another year on his contract (this year) so perhaps Carey is preparing to take over and will spend this year getting to know the players and the playbook.
I have my doubts about coach Hiller but maybe the OL and he will look better in this new offense. If not, he needs to be gone after this season if the OL struggles again.
As the OL goes so goes the team & the season,
hoping for a road grading experience.
I liked the Rod Carey coached Northern Illinois teams. They were poised and had some upsets of teams on the road in the likes of Iowa and Nebraska.
He’s a good coach and we could do worse if we look for an Allen successor.

Would be interesting to know what he wants to do longer term. The Temple situation went south for him quickly, but sometimes those things happen. Wonder if he wants a shot at redemption as a head coach or if he’d rather be a position guy or coordinator going forward. Wonder how much profile he’ll have with us.
OL has been one of if not the limiting factor for us since Wilson first mismanaged the room so badly. None of our QBs are fleet enough to run for their lives effectively
