The next to last week of July was a difficult one for TheHoosier.com. On Thursday, July 25, Stu Jackson told us he was leaving to take an internship with the Los Angeles Rams and could only give us a one-week notice. We understood, thanked him for all his efforts and wished him well.
Two days before, on July 23, Jon Sauber informed us that he had accepted a job as a sports reporter with his hometown newspaper, The Centre Daily Times in State College, Pennsylvania.
Jon is a Penn State grad, recently became engaged to a girl from his hometown and wanted to be closer to his grandmother. He gave us a two-week notice and will start his new job tomorrow. We understood, thanked him for all his efforts and wished him well.
Jon only worked at The Hoosier for eight months, and in that short time he did a terrific job of covering basketball recruiting for us. We were amazed with how quickly he built relationships with prospects, their families and their coaches, and impressed with his knowledge and passion for basketball.
We are building a new team at the site. That started with Mike Singer, who is doing a great job of covering football recruiting. We are pursuing some top talent to cover basketball recruiting and should know something by the end of the week.
We are looking for a beat writer to cover football and basketball and have interviewed some excellent prospects. In the meantime, DJ Fezler, a student at IU and our intern this year, is helping us cover football practices.
Completing our staff may take a couple of weeks. Just know that we have read all your comments, we know what we need to do and we are “recruiting” some terrific candidates.
