You couldn't have a more imbalanced conference if Gary Barta hired 20 mathematicians with Ph.D.'s from MIT who tried with all their might to put together the most imbalanced conference possible. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been wanting to move to a North v South setup for years. South: IU, Purdue, OSU, Illini, Nebraska, Rutgers and Maryland vs North: Iowa, NW, Minny, Wisky, UM, MSU and PSU. Without a random assortment, hard to see us getting away from OSU every year but this at least levels the field. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think those divisions are pretty lopsided unless IU develops into a consistent contender or somehow Nebraska or some dark horse like Rutgers does. Penn State/Michigan/Wisconsin/Iowa in one division is brutal and Michigan State used to be a power too, we will see what they do under a new coach but yeah... I’m not sure that fixes much outside of swapping which division is the problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to Imagine Nebraska will find a way to be relevant again and if Rutgers is going to recruit like this under Schiano, they’ll be at the top of the conference in no time. It’s not perfect but it’s better than what we have now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I thought it was something at first, but it looks like CTA had the defensive guys at his house for like a BBQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't even find him on Rivals, and his offer list is not great. With how successful our recruiting has been, this would be a really weird commitment. If he does commit, it would be really interesting to get some more information on him. The staff would obviously see something if they take him.

But Dunnam, the only impressive off I saw was Florida State Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAHoosier Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 looking at Dunnam's profile on 247, he has family ties to the NFL. - EJ Biggers (Cousin): former CB at Western Michigan - 7th round draft pick in 2009 (bounced around the league to several teams) - Louis Delmas (Cousin): former DB at Western Michigan that was a 2nd rd pick in 2009 - named to the all rookie team and played for the Lions and Dolphins. he caught 43 passes for 710 yds and 10 tds in 7 games last year's shortened season and had 3 interceptions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indykev Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) Fast receiver. Slot guy. 6-1 but very thin. Runs by defenders. Could be a DB at IU. Edited July 19, 2021 by Indykev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTA knows what WE need, I have no clue if this kid can play, but truthfully, 247 doesn't either and their job isn't on the line like CTAs is with essentially each recruit. (I know you aren't questioning him at all lol) I just love this stuff. I find diamonds in the rough very intriguing. Like half the starters in the last SB were 2 star recruits or something "other". It's not a line I want to be walking with 8 to 10 recruits a year, but 1 or 2. Heck yeah! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a line I want to be walking with 8 to 10 recruits a year, but 1 or 2. Heck yeah! Exactly. It’s only one unknown kid so I completely agree. We used to have 3-5 recruits per year at a similar stature. CTA has a knack for finding potential on the defensive side of the ball and developing it so maybe this kid can turn into a Marcelino Ball or McFaddon caliber player…if not, you always need more speed on the scout team. Picking up a recent offer from FSU is nothing to to scoff at either. He also clearly hasn’t been evaluated by the recruiting sites so I expect this to change at some point in his senior season and he’ll have a rating.
