RB Ronnie Walker committing next week...

[RBB89]

4-star (composite)/3 star (Rivals) RB Ronnie Walker will commit on Monday. As of now, it looks good for us. The last four crystal ball predictions within the last 24 hours are all to Indiana, including from Allen Trieu and a writer from the Michigan State site (one of Walker's finalists).

Most recent crystal ball predictions still all have him to IU. Highlights:

Thanks for posting these....I turned my Twitter off...

 

[RBB89]

Bump for tomorrow at 1:30.

We could sure use him; he looks like a td machine. Wouldn't mind some of his blockers, either.

All the early predictions were to VA.....all the recent ones to IU.

A bit scary for IU because VA has 0 RB commits for '17......one would think RW would be a big priority......concerned about a late push by them.....

We don't have any running backs committed either.

True.....IU and VA's recruiting classes appear to be pretty even overall.....If we're able to get Walker it would seem to be a big upgrade from the Bloomington kid who decommitted.....this kid looks like a flat-out stud.

Very nice! Thanks for the info as usual.

 

[IndyIUFan66]

The local kid who de-committed may be a great talent too. And I don't believe if Walker commits it rules local RB out either (competition!) as you can never have too many 4* RB's can you?

What I am curious to see is if IU pulls off big upset over OSU, how that changes the dynamics of who starts to commit or not. I'd love to see IU start landing more 4* studs!

 

[td75]

At some point in time, IU will have to land some 4* kids. There's no way to sugar coat the situation. Playing PSU, UM and OSU every fall, we MUST land kids at the 5.7 and 5.8 levels with more and more regularity.

We seem to be slowly headed in that direction. The 5.7 kids are probably the most important recruit out there that can turn IU into serious contenders.

Walker is a four star on pretty much every other site.

 

[iubud]

He reminds me a little of Howard. He isn't blazing fast or quick, but seems to run through initial contact and maintain forward drive. He would certainly be welcomed and could be an instant starter.

Ronnie Walker has committed to us, I'm sure only because all his other offers were no longer committable (tic) LOL ! Great get by the staff

For everyone freacking out over Pechac this is a big get!

 

[travlinhoosier]

Outstanding! Welcome Ronnie!

 

[turney333]

Also, he plans to enroll early. Its going to be a hell of a RB group next year for the next few years

 

[Fro]

Also going to enroll in January

over who? Never heard of him. vbg

Felt like it needed to get pointed out that he doesn't get tackled short of the goal line for the first five minutes of his highlight video.

 

[iuduffer]

Great get, I especially like that he is coming in early spring practice will have him ready for 2018.

 

[cshartle123]

This caliber of player is what we need to get over the hump. Great job IU.

 

[UncleMark]

Mediocre. Could have done much better if Glass wasn't the AD.

But just the same, I'm happy.

Think how many Ronnie Walkers we could've had by now if Glass would give away free tickets every week and didn't cook the attendance books. Wake up people!

 

[Big Red Crimson Buffalo]

One of 3 kids that was on our radar that I alluded to, back when Pechac bowed out, was this guy.

And, I think my words at the time were: "you'll be pleasantly surprised."

This guy is nationally ranked and, not that Pechac is chopped liver by any stretch, but IU just traded up in this whole scenario. How Rivals has him at a 3 star is beyond me.

 

[boiler1987]

Solid pickup for you guys. Does this take you out of the Andrew Cunningham sweepstakes?

 

[YOTHN]

Great get, I especially like that he is coming in early spring practice will have him ready for 2018.

The biggest deal with an early entrant is he will be signed in December and we don't have to worry about him backing out.

Not to mention lucky for him he will get to go with the rest of the team to Pasadena on New Years Day.

Well, somehow, I think with IU's luck, going 13-0, and getting a playoff spot, we'd get the Sugar Bowl instead of the Rose Bowl

 

[peytonrules]

Possibly. He was clearly option 1, so I'm not sure if they are gonna take another RB or not, and I haven't much about IU and cunningham

So funny that I'm in your head as much as I am. You got caught making something up and you still can't over it! Priceless. By the way, good pick up with Williams.

*sigh* Talk about disappointment. Let some overrated team like Ohio State have that bowl. We'll stick with the Rose.

In yours as well, too, though it feels like living in a trailer.

Who is Williams because we got a commitment from Ronnie Walker. You get on others for not getting things right so you should at least get the name of the commit right.

 

[JohnsyRick]

No, they would still take Cunningham, but Madison Norris may not have a spot if they get Charlton and Peat.

Can you imagine what we'd be seeing if he hadn't screwed up the NEZ?

Williams ? LOL, clueless, as usual.

Somehow, some way, this will be a failing of yours.

My bad. It's obviously Walker, not Williams, and I won't even point out your poor grammar that a college education would've addressed.

 

[Ewezrfan1]

No, I admitted my error. Perhaps, if you had any courage, you'd admit that you lied about McCabe, and then I'd let you get back up. Maybe.
