KDB Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 4-star WR from Alabama. He decommitted from UAB not long ago. We recruited him before he committed there. I have read that he has been in contact with IU more than any other school since re-opening his recruitment. https://247sports.com/player/malachi-bennett-46054167/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btownqb Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 If we can snag him... probably on paper our best WR recruiting class ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDB Posted February 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 BOOM! Bennett will announce his college decision on Wednesday, and Steve Wiltfong and Matt Weaver have logged crystal ball picks for Indiana - both with 8/10 confidence.

Leathernecks Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 If we get Bennett, he'd be our 16th highest rated recruit ever on 247. That means in this class, we'd have our #1 QB ever (4th overall), #3 WR (8th overall), and #5 WR (16th overall). This is the kind of talent we need to keep bringing in. Not all of our top recruits will be great, but the more big swings you take, the more home runs you'll hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leathernecks Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 This many switches with high confidence 2 days before he announces seems pretty confident.

BobSaccamanno Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 Awesome. Our receivers room has a chance to be crazy good and deep. We have so many top prospects it’s not even funny. Some will bubble up and really emerge, I’m sure. I’m not going to sit here and try to do a run down but suffice it to say, we’ve got a lot of talented prospects. One guy who I really liked last year was Swinton. He looks to me like a tough minded, competitive receiver who is all about clutch. But there are several other young guys plus you add very highly rated recruits like Green, Williams, and Bennett and watch out. Heard has been a fabulous coaching addition both in recruiting and development/performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 I like the name Malachi. I assume it’s pronounced Mal-a-Kai. i remember the first time I saw that name (someone else), I read it so the end rhymed with Chachi from Happy Days or Chi-Chi’s restaurant. My bad. But I compliment the name. Very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree. Penix will most likely miss some time and Tuttle, Williams, and or McCulley will be fine in his absence. There is talent in the QB room besides Penix. Penix just needs to avoid the season ending injury which he keeps dealing with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
