Leathernecks Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 Seemed really high on IU when we offered him. Couldn't find anything about where he might be leaning, but might be worth keeping an eye on tomorrow morning. https://247sports.com/player/carter-smith-46104090/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyHoosier22 Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 Pushed his announcement back to 8:00 EST. Saw he tweeted about getting an offer from Michigan State last night. Wonder if that had any effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 An athletic offensive tackle. Fingers crossed. There are only so many of those humans even walking around. He’d be a really good get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 Absolutely no CB picks on Rivals or 247 about this kid. Odd to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDB Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Noted in the 2022 thread, but two CB’s for IU from Wiltfong and Weaver. 7 and 9 out of 10 confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should be the next domino to fall. What an exciting 4 days for the program! The dividends are starting to increase on the Tom Allen investment. It's a great day to be a Hoosier!

Leathernecks Posted June 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 He worked out for OSU June 1st, and impressed them enough to get an invite for an official visit. I'm guessing that all fell through since I didn't find any more about it. From the little I've read, it sounded like he really wanted an OSU offer. Maybe that didn't happen and we were next on the list. Having a chip on your shoulder against one of the teams in your own division isn't a bad thing.

Yeah...the local kid who grew up a Buckeye fan, but wasn't quite good enough maybe. We're familiar with that in bb, aren't we. 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy06 Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 A couple of different scouting reports on Smith say he is very athletic and flexible. We seem to get guys with the right size, but play upright and stiff. Sounds like a guy that could be a gem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leathernecks Posted June 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 I could see his ranking going up at some point this summer/fall. Rivals has him ranked really low (maybe they haven't seen him?). He is the 38th ranked player in Ohio on there, and the 12th ranked player in Ohio on 247's ranking. His composite is 20th. I could see that ranking getter better if Rivals gives him a different ranking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see that ranking getter better if Rivals gives him a different ranking. And he’s not even ranked on ESPN. If he gets upped on Rivals and a ranking on ESPN he could be a composite 4-star or real close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Smith, Sales, Carp, and Benson are some of the highest rated OL we've ever had and they'll all be within one year of each other. The talent is coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were 4 time state runner up while I was in HS to Muncie Burris. Big time volleyball program, and played a ton of pick up volleyball growing up and still do. Carter might be much more in the mold of a Spriggs than any other guy we've had recently. He is going to put on weight easy. I'm willing to bet he is 275-285 and is 100% natural. Like no eating plan. They'll get him eating here soon.. he'll be 6'6 300lbs easy come next June. Love multi sport athletes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
