As a final send off to 2023, Tom Allen contract at PSU is 3 years, starting at $1.5M first year it is reported. What a year for Tom Allen, just had to lose plenty to win. All he needed to cap it was great legal and accounting. Anyone know that song "Act Naturally" by Buck Owens and the Buckaroos?

Got ‘em. Starting a new post with the numbers.

Lee Corso stated of his years at IU that his recruiting philosophy was to find out who Michigan and Ohio St were recruiting and then go after the ones they weren't.

100%!!! How hard would it have been for someone from Bloomington or West Lafayette to make the trip over to Center Grove to see Carson live? And if you did watch him live, HOW IN THE WORLD do you let him go to the MAC first AND THEN let him go to the Pac-12 on the second try?! Were you even watching the game(s)?! 😂 Purdue and IU missing on him TWICE is inexcusable.

As someone who has no allegiance to any fbs team I like it as the powerhouse teams can’t stockpile talents and it’s has made cfb more competitive.

Especially given that 1) it's really easy to get live views on them and 2) the dollar cost to look and talk is tremendously low compared to folks from other states.

That's the question that I think they need to try to answer. Don't get me wrong, I don't think Indiana is a HS football hot bed by any means but there is some serious talent and size scattered throughout the state aside from the insane amounts around Indy alone but yet our two public universities struggle to field competitive teams and effectively recruit our state. I feel like adding 2-3 guys per year from our state's top 10 has to be more valuable than grabbing the 50th, 60th, and 63rd rated guys in Texas, Cali, or Georgia, regardless of the vast differences in the Indiana and those specific HS football products. The Drew Brees find was 1 in a million and now it's the recruiting method of Purdue and IU that has led to their continued mediocrity, or less than. That becomes frustrating to see play out when Indiana talent is leaving to go elsewhere year in and year out. Being more Indiana-centric focused would be beneficial to each of these programs and as you noted, relying solely on in-state talent is not feasible in a state that (as I mentioned above) is not a hot bed for HS football but having only a quarter of your roster be composed of in-state talent (and often the wrong in-state talent) is no bueno. They have "numerous power 5 offers" but yet can't help Purdue and IU improve, based on the "well documented history" of IU and Purdue flat out sucking at football and recruiting prospective student-athletes. I would respect the "flipping MAC recruits gets you fired thing" but Carson Steele wasn't good enough for IU or Purdue, was for Ball State and UCLA though? IU also has an Indiana Wesleyan transfer on their roster this year. So that kid wasn't good enough for them coming out of high school but was when he tore up the NAIA level? 9 of the Indiana kids on IU's roster were not Hoosiers to begin their collegiate careers but came back eventually. Idk man, seems to me they can do a better job in some aspect to land these kids in the first place and avoid feeding off the scraps that make them .500 at best. 3 of the top 4 running back recruits in this year's Indiana class are leaving the state (Josh Ringer, Xavier Williams, & Jaden Hart) but don't worry, the 11th best RB in Florida is going to come save the day because their HS football is a better product...

Bo Callahan: everyone's #1 pick at, played QB , but don't tell Kevin Costner that, Vontez Mack over everyone!!!! You should give it a go, it's a fun little movie.

Don’t worry they can get them back in the transfer portal

Man, no fact checking by The Star or On3.com? Patrick Clacks didn't play for Andrean this year. The IHSAA blocked his transfer to Crown Point and he played in Chicago. Glenn Patterson didn't play for Lafayette Jeff as well. And I doubt Northern Illiinois is still going to take him.

The appointment of Travon Curry as the head coach is a thrilling choice. Being a local hire, Curry has been a witness to both the triumphant moments and the stumbling blocks of the program over the years. I'm curious to see if student-athletes will be drawn back to Elkhart under his guidance, and how he'll boost the program with the athletes walking the halls. The most intriguing aspect will be Coach Curry's selection of his staff; it's an exciting prospect that fresh faces and new ideas may be introduced with new staff members.

Yeah. Not taking anytheing way from Tibbs as I think he has a bright future with Purdue, but a majority of the guys on Big Ten rosters were men amongst boys in HS football.

Seems like another Bo Callahan situation
