McCulley article…

Not trying to argumentative (seriously) but Sheridan is now the TE's coach at Washington...

He might be giving some morale support to MP from time to time but he's no longer his position coach...

Sheridan did come out of last seasons debacle smelling like a rose...
Oops, my bad.

This is so freaking stupid. By your logic, no head coach should ever get credit for anything.
By a lot of logic on here non of the blame either. Allen gets credit for those hires as well as blame for the last 2 but either way you have to know when the wheels are falling off the bus before you lose them and head over the cliff.

This may end up being the best of both worlds. Bazelek throwing passes to McCulley. Get the best athletes on the field.
Honestly believe this is an astute coaching decision and you stated why, get your best players/athletes on the field. IUFB has some impressive history with tall WR's. DM will continue the string. Just hope it is prominent this season.

If he wants to play, there wasn’t a choice. He was #4 at best as a quarterback. Huge recruiting mistake.

It was only a mistake if he doesn't do well at WR. Missing at QB is why I don't like people pushing for going after so many Indiana high school players. Yes, it would be nice to pull in the elite Indiana players but even then some have been misses especially at QB.

It was a recruiting mistake because they don’t have a quarterback for that class, and they try to get one every year. It also took us out of the running for some other kids, though we didn’t have much of a shot at our top target. Sheridan and Allen both have responsibility on this one.

You are missing out that it was based on ratings of QB which many analyst missed on so quit putting all the blame on IU coaches. You are not a good poster on this site are you a PU troll?

McCulley did not look particularly athletic at QB. I do think that was probably because he was thrown to the wolves and was forced to think too much, so I am interested to see what he looks like at WR.

IU’s evaluation of DM was based on analyst’s ratings? Do you really believe that? I can assure you that’s not remotely accurate. If you know any coaches or understand how they evaluate talent, you’d know how far off base you are. Been a huge fan of IU since before I earned my degree there. The troll remarks are uncalled for.

Troll "remark" was a question not a statement. It is based on you not answering where you get your info from. You are ignoring the effort of fans like you saying IU doesn't pull in enough Indiana players.

I didn't say that coaches don't evaluate recruits but the optics of not recruit a player so highly rated from Indiana. You put words on posters messages to fit your narrative.

I don’t really understand what you’re trying to say here. The issue is that missing on a quarterback means we will end up without one in each class, which is how they try to balance them out. Taking DM also meant we took ourselves out of the running for some other good QBs. It had nothing to do with whether DM was from Indiana.
 
Being a wide receiver involves a special skill set that has virtually nothing to do with throwing a football. However, to be successful at either position requires a great deal of mental and physical toughness.

Just can't agree with your last sentence.

Don't worry about me answering you since you can't read very well or see "?" and understand words. Good Bye

That’s fine. What you said wasn’t an accurate depiction of how our coaches evaluate and recruit players, which is why I questioned it.
 
Was he the highest ranking recruit that Indiana had or just the highest rated quarterback? Granted he was thrown in the deep end of the pool without adequate preparation in the Ohio State game and then the rest of the season was forgettable on both sides of the ball.

CTA thought he was going to be a great quarterback. Now he's thinking he's going to be a great wide receiver. I certainly hope he can find a position on the field but something just doesn't pass the smell test here.

I'm still a big fan of Michael Penix. He exhibited signs of greatness before getting hurt, came back and got hurt again and then did it a third time. And now Washington has jumped on him. There is no quit in Michael Penix.
You actually missed one…MP is trying to come back from season ending injuries in ‘18, ‘19, ‘20, and ‘21 (2 upper body and two lower).

My hat’s off to the kid if he pulls this off!!

Also since he RS in 18 and 20 was a free year, he still has 2 years to play 2 if he can get healthy.*

* Now that he has left IU he will very likely be the first repeat Heisman winner in history!
