thirdgenhoosier Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 We currently have 3 guys for next year...Ramsey, Tronti, and Taylor. Is there anyone else we are looking at to bring in next year? What about in the next class? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One guy we are recruiting pretty hard is Terry Wilson, JUCO QB, his HC there thinks he will be one of the best QB's in College Football. Others on him are Kentucky, and Baylor. https://247sports.com/player/terry-wilson-57500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leathernecks Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 Hopefully we can bring that JUCO QB in. His passing stats aren't terribly impressive, but the short clip I saw, he made some really nice passes. Looks like a pretty good runner too. I believe he'd only be a RS Sophomore next year too which would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are also in on a kid by the name of Devin Black, a three star QB from Florida https://247sports.com/player/devin-black-85266 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He committed to Nebraska in high school, recanted and signed with Oregon so he was obviously highly touted coming out of high school but we've seen this before with guys like Jayme Thompson and Marqui Hawkins who never panned out. Either way I'd love to have him if for nothing else, some experienced depth at QB in case Ramsey can't develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier82 Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 ...and at 5'10, 155lbs is Reece Taylor really a viable option at QB? I can't imagine a kid 3 inches shorter and 20 pounds lighter than Zander Diamont having success at the QB position in the BigTen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong, but i feel like I remember Allen saying something not too long ago that they would at least look at him for QB, but either way he has elite athleticism to play many spots.

KDB Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 I'm almost positive Allen and Debord said previously in an article on Peegs that Taylor would be a QB as of now for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 Given the uncertainty around the position for next year, I don't see why we wouldn't at least give him some reps. You can't teach his level of athleticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoopsta007 Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 They were saying on the radio that he was going to be a quarterback. I say why not let him try. The best quarterback that has played at IU, Antwaan Randle El, was undersized as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that sense the coach can't comment on a recruit until they are signed.

IU Scott Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Just now, KDB said: There was an article on Peegs about it, Reese said that Coach Allen told him on the phone, "I see what you're doing on Friday nights and I think we want you doing that on Saturday's." Like I said that was a comment from Taylor and not he coach who said that to Peegs. The coach can not comment publicly to any media about a recruit until they sign.

thirdgenhoosier Posted December 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 I'm not Rico...but But, Trent Green and Dave Schnell. Probably Babe Laufenberg. I wonder if some might argue Tim Clifford and the QB from the Rose Bowl team...name escapes me. I wouldn't put Clifford in front of ARE though.

thirdgenhoosier Posted December 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 On another note, Michigan QB La'Darius Jefferson just said that he'll be committing on Christmas. It kinda looks like it is IU or MSU. I'm going to guess MSU, but anyone with any idea which way the winds are blowing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may not have been the best NFL prospect at QB of all time at IU but he is by far the best/most productive QB ever to play at IU in the last 30 years. Anyone before that is before my time and I wont speak to it but that guy put up insane numbers surrounded by glorified mid level MAC talent. If Reese can play to that level then have at it but I’ll believe it when I see it. Randel El was a once in a lifetime player for his size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if some might argue Tim Clifford and the QB from the Rose Bowl team...name escapes me. I wouldn't put Clifford in front of ARE though. Trent Green was terrible at IU despite playing for a winning team. Guy threw more INTs than TD’s. No starting QB does that. Schnell was barely better but still a walking turnover. Neither could do anything on their own in the run game. What’s the arguement for those two over ARE besides W/L record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoopsta007 Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Trent Green was just a touch before my time but just from my experience ARE was the most electrifying player I’ve ever seen. Maybe this doesn’t add to his all time greatness at the QB spot but when have you seen a quarterback return kicks, play receiver, and be the 1st string punter?
