rbkl Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 With offers from Alabama, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Penn State, etc. - it may be hard to pry him away, but that isn't stopping the Hoosiers from making him top priority.

Andy06 Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 I know it's early after the visit, but has anyone heard an6 rumblings on his visit? I hate missing out on guys like David Bell, but linemen like Fryar will make a bigger difference on this program making the next step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like you guys have had pretty decent/good lines recently but didn’t have a plethora of stud skill players like a David Bell. I think they’re both important but if I had to pick between skill guys or linemen, I’d go skill guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like we have had a lot of skill talent at rb with Tevin Coleman, Jordan Howard, and now Stevie Scott and crew. Wide receiver has been pretty solid too with Cody Latimer, Shane Wynn, and Simmie Cobbs, etc. I think the biggest difference for IU and PU to compete with the big boys regularly, not a random win here or there, is offensive and defensive line. Our oline has been pretty solid, but there have been crucial times we needed to run to convert a first down and couldn't do it. Or stop the run to get off the field. I don't disagree Bell would have been a great addition to our roster, but we need as many big athletic linemen as we can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or we have a good first unit but not a ton of depth whereas OSU/PSU can go 2 or 3 deep at most positions with minimal drop-off. It’ll be nice when we don’t have to keep using grad transfer band-aids on the OL haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am by no means trying to diminish Bell because he is an absolute stud, but football is blocking and tackling... the rest falls further down the list.

BobSaccamanno Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Regarding Ohio State, it will be interesting to see whether Ryan Day—who is completely unproven at this level—is up to the job. He’s going to find there’s more to the job than developing an offensive game plan. He’s inheriting talent but managing it can be difficult. Michigan, as an example, recruits at a high level (look at the last draft where half their defense got drafted) and hasn’t been able to break through. Day may do well but it’s not preordained.

Some really make it but a lot of them will get over recruited and will look to play elsewhere in two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
