It's great to see him commit!   I'm all for a balanced attack.

K/P Bryce Taylor of Bloomington South has committed to IU. His junior season was cut short by a broken collarbone.

Purdue got a 3-star Tight End from Ohio yesterday.  That's where the rating of recruits perplexes me.  Ohio, along with California, Florida (and most southern states), Pennsylvania, and Texas have some pretty good football programs.  That being said, does a 3-star by Ohio's standards equate to a higher ranking elsewhere?  Have a great day and stay hydrated--gonna be a hot one today!

New Palestine DL Michael Thacker has committed to Ball State, where he will play alongside his brother, Isaiah. 

Michael also had offers from Tennessee and West Virginia.

Nice to see Ball State able to get kids that TN & WV are after, sure his brother being there helped.

Michael's an absolute gem of a person from a great family, and he's an incredibly good DL. I think being close to home was a real drawing card, especially with Isaiah already there.

Oh the stories I could tell about his recruitment then (and more recently) and recruiting in general. Toledo ended up being the right move and he has been very happy there.
