Count it! Indiana Adds Three Recruits
Bloomington, IN - Over the past week, a lot has happened in Hoosier land; Indiana won an outright Big 10 Championship, their fan base has stretched across the nation, and they are expected to play in the National Championship game. Let's add to that list, shall we? Three more four star recruits have committed to the Indiana football squad, raising the Hoosiers' total to 24 players.
The first player is a stud. Matt Wheeler, a four star athlete from Springfield, Illinois, is a force to be reckoned with at more than one position. He played quarterback, running back, receiver, cornerback, safety, kicker, and linebacker in high school. He was a five star recruit in basketball as well, and will be playing for the Hoosiers hoops team next winter. "It's pretty intense," said Wheeler today. "The Indiana campus is hot. I can't wait to live there for four years."
Wheeler recorded 3,001 passing yards, 2,320 rushing yards, 2,154 receiving yards, 218 tackles, and 12 interceptions during his high school years. If he had focused on one position, he could probably be the top recruit in the country. (For those curious, he didn't play any position more than two years).
The second recruit, Thomas White, is a four star defense end from Gas City, Indiana. I know, right? Fucking Gas City? Anyway, that's not important. He never recorded big stats as a defense player, but that doesn't matter to recruiters because he was constantly being double or triple teamed. Opposing coaches realized that he would probably be playing college football, and they decided that they wanted him to put up the shittiest stats possible so no colleges would look at him. Why they did that is beyond me, but at least the Hoosiers took notice of his greatness. And I mean, he can't keep getting double-teamed all through college, so at some point he has to play up to his potential--stats wise, that is.
The final recruit is Charlie Ivey, a four star cornerback all the way from Washington D.C. Indiana started out the year as far down on his list as physically possible, but with intense recruiting Indiana's stock rose. Eventually (just a few weeks ago), Indiana officially became his favorite school, and after an on-campus visit he finally committed. "Anthony Thompson had me hypnotized," he said. "He had this aroma about him that said 'Hey world. I'm a great coach. Bow down to me' and that attracted me."
While in high school, Ivey recorded only 5 interceptions and 4 deflections, but shut down receivers like no other cornerback I've ever seen. In fact, in a game in which he faced star receiver James Woods (the second rated receiver in this year's class), he held James to 1 catch for -2 yards. But his lack of stats bumped him down to a four star rating.
With the new "VSN" layout fucking up our updates, any recommendations would be appreciated. PM our coordinator, Rushito Mussolini, or contact our main contributor Packersfan4eva.
