Would love tk have that kid! Although PU is getting the "last look" visit, I really like our chances on landing him. I really like our chances with Bell too. Bell has an in home visit with PU tomorrow. And PU will probably pass on Cam to keep room for Bell. Would be really funny if Bell spurned the great Brohmdoodoo for the Hoosiers!!!
Let's hope we read a headline about Williams canceling that visit here in the next couple of days. & as for Bell, it seems like the longer this goes, the better our chances get. I think what's helping us is the fact that Purdue has already 2 outstanding WR pledges, not to mention the Freshman wonderkind.
Of seeming concern, though: why is a 4-star Rivals 250 player “only” having official visits with IU and Purdue? The ‘bigger’ fish like USC and FSU backed off offers long ago. No UM, no tO$U. Something just seems awry. Purdue just doesn’t seem to be trying that hard to get him, they’ve passed on visiting him recently, don’t even seem to be holding a spot for him. He didn’t make all-state this week. Still want him here very much, but why isn’t he being pursued harder by others? Dunno. Even U of Cinn, his third finalist, seems to have lost interest.
That's what I would refer to as "over thinking" this, my friend. No one knows how good this, or any other kid really is. A large part of his value for us anyway is that he's one of the highest ranked kids in the state--regardless of how good he actually ends up being, landing him further establishes our in state recruiting, which is massively important for us.
I hope your right...Good Lord do we need some good LB's. That was tough to watch this year!
Yeah, our front 7 was poor this season, very disappointing. I knew we'd struggle at LB, but the D-line was atrocious. We've added 23 DE's(practically)the last couple of classes & have absolutely nothing to show for it, so far. I think James Miller has potential, & I like the potential of Bonhomme too, but they will still be very young, of course. McFadden flashed real potential this year too. Obviously Williams would be a terrific get for us. We need OT's more than anything though, imo, & from what I hear, we're going to be back to zero in this class soon. That's typical IU football--the only decomms(recently)we have are at the position we most need help. IF this comes to pass, that is, which I'm quite certain it will. We do have hands in a lot of other OT pots though, the staff knows we'll need them terribly.
After Bell spurns you broilees I'm going to dig up threads on your board about how cocky you all were about "locking up" all the WR in the state of Indiana. Craig Young, anyone?
How many spots does IU have left? I know Purdoo just has the one spot left for Bell, that makes them hit the #25 limit. So they are done.
So apparently you can shift an early enrollee to the previous class. Guess they’re saying 2018 class had 24 so one of the kids coming in Jan will count to the 2018 numbers?
Maybe so, but from what I'm hearing we have a better than 50/50 shot with both Williams(Kristian & Cam). Anything can happen & can change, but all in all, I'll take being the favourite(supposedly)for 2 out of those 3. EVERY day, I'll take it.
Whether we like it or not, they now have a reputation of being an innovative and exciting offense to play in. Rondale Moore got them all kinds of attention this year and continues to get them more with his All-American status. I watched BTN a couple nights ago when they were talking about recruiting and Howard Griffith was slobbering all over Purdue's offense so that is just the reality of it.
purdue had 8 guys catch the ball in double figures. IU had 10! You take RM away and its very subpar as far as totals. purdue does not throw the ball near as all over the place as IU. Have no idea what your thinking here?
Do you know what your talking about? Let’s say a QB dinks and dunks his way down to the 25 yard line going 7-8 for 38 yards. Another QB goes 5-7 for 70 yards. Under your logic you are saying the 2nd QB is worse because he only had 5 completions where the other had 7 completions. Total completions is far from a good measuring stick by itself. Go look at total yards passing by each and total completions by each. I think you will walk away with the conclusion that Purdue’s passing attack was far superior to Indiana’s.
Go take your meds...God when you are off of them you just spout stupid all over yourself.
Who cares have you looked at the stats...Theres one bottom line IU had 10 receivers in double digits and purdue had 8. IU had more receptions than purdue. purdue had 1 more touchdown receipt than IU. Gawd you are a dumba$$
So I guess yards gained per completion mean absolutely nothing to you??? If all you care about is total completions what a freaking dumbass you are.
Thats not the point...IU had more receivers in double figure and more receptions. RM is the reason they had a couple more yards per completion and that has nothing to do with the offense only his ability to do something with the ball after he catches it. Are you new? Lemee guess you play in a fantasy league and think you know something. Stick to basketball you look more stupid with every post. cpa pfffft
Wtf you two? I mean, who shot it in the other one's eye? Actually, you both have somewhat of a point-true RM skewed Purdue's #'s a bit, & the overall passing state between the 2 teams are similar, but all of that has to be taken with a grain of salt. It's hard to argue that IU compares favorably to Purdue's passing game, or any other game for that matter. You have to take into account WHEN during games & the season that the 2 teams accrued their #'s. Purdue got out of the gate slowly , while IU started fast, against poor competition, Purdue blossomed in conference, & blew Ohio State out, which alone trumps(should I shelve that adjective?)anything we did, completely so, at that. Purdue, by rights, should have probably been an 8 win team, that's the level they are at, in reality, not 6 wins. Anyhoo, shouldn't let it get that personal. That IS a B-ball board staple.
