The team was in the Assembly Hall and that WR has hops and I think he will be a very good WR for IU. I wish I had the link but it was on tweeter and I will try to find it later tonight if I can. Did anyone else see the video?
I just saw a video of Eli Jochem

Found it. Eli is 6‘ 1” (24/7 recruiting) and human highlight reel stuffing basketballs in Assembly Hall.
Even if Eli’s straight line speed is average for a collegiate WR, the explosiveness shown here should translate to separation from his breaks at the top of the route tree. [In addition, explosiveness leads to clean releases from the line of scrimmage].
Found another image listing Eli as #1 on the team for ”force plate” vertical; Fryfogle was #2.

Future scholarship seems written all over his potential.
Looks like IU has found a 3 pt shooter for a QB better form than anyone on last years Bball team.
If form is the model most needed Leal's is sound.
I’m reminded by these clips that some coaches like multi-sport recruits for their competitive toughness and crossover skills. Let’s hope many in the receiver room have hands as good as Conner’s.
Love seeing these guys having fun in Assembly Hall. Any former high school basketball player would relish a day like that. Now lets get the basketball players on the field in Memorial and see them playing some pitch and catch.
Let’s hope not: that’s an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty in collegiate football.

Let's just claim it's part of our brand strategy.
Eli shows the explosiveness to be very good receiver and it also shows he doesn't have hands of stone. I want to see how coach Henry develops our WRs.
I think we probably need to see him on a football field before we make any football declarations.
It's the offseason. It's a damn blog. Speculation is not prohibited.
I understand that. I tend to gravitate toward reasonable speculation, however. To each his own.
If he’s anything like Mitchell Paige, he should get on the field. Another walk-on who ended up one of the best in his WR group.
He was, and a joy to watch.
If nothing else, it just shows these guys really are exceptional athletes. Now it's on the coaches to utilize them in ways to take advantage of their athleticism. Probably easier said than done.
It's my impression that we have three (or more) Walk-Ons at the Slot Receiver position who are extremely athletic and have good quicks... Should be interesting to see who makes it onto the field... With E.J.s leaping ability he might even be a factor at the wide receiver position...
