KDB Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 3-star OL from Southaven, Mississippi. Taking an official visit to Indiana this weekend. Down to IU and Mississippi State. https://247sports.com/Player/Kahlil-Benson-46081236/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Very good recruiting score. I think interior line play is the most underrated aspect of football. You find me a team strong there, and I will show you a good team. I’d love to get this kid with Feeney and others to bolster the interior O line. Get those running lanes going for our stable of backs and protect the QB from the rush up the pocket from the middle. You could be all world at the skill positions and it won’t matter if there are no creases to run through or time for the qb to let routes develop.

Zlinedavid Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Decent recruit picking between us and the hometown? That's pretty strong consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU878176 Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 A Mississippi kid with offers from LSU, TN, Mississippi and Mississippi State? Sounds like a long shot but would be great to get. As Bob said above, interior line (offense and defense) is critical. IU has had plenty of skill players in the past but the lack of good OL/DL has really limited our upside. The OL has been getting better and better but some more pressure from our DL would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leathernecks Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 I think it is safe to say the staff really wants Benson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indykev Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 Damn is this kid the next Anthony Munoz. 8-9 coaches for a 3 star. Overkill maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy06 Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Adding Benson and Williams would be a great way to close out this recruiting class. Add in either of the transfers we have been mentioned with.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btownqb Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 If Benson and Williams were to commit, we would move to #50 overall (up 5 spots). That does not include Dylan Powell. You have to take Williams and Smith out of the equation because 247 still have them in our recruiting rankings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we went a different route than with Smith, I think Holtz took his spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 This is a kid who was at the top of my list. Along with Brady Feeney, we hit on a couple of guards who could be legit in a year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we thought Benson was important enough to send almost the entire staff to see, we must really see something special in him. I remember we did that for Penix too.
