HanShotFirst Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 According to his Twitter, Dierre Kelly has also made his way back to Merrillville High School. Looks like the Pirates reload going into the 2020 campaign. https://247sports.com/player/dierre-kelly-46085622/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slice60 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Valpo vs Merrillville just got even more interesting. Maybe we will see 2 DAC squads at LOS next fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merrillville may struggle early, replacing both quarterbacks; though there is plenty of play-making ability in Armani Glass and now Mr. Johnson.

I think he could recruit well to MSU, even with the majority of his ties to Ohio high schools. But I also didn't think he was leaving Cincinnati because, at this point, he has the Bearcats coming off 11-2 and 11-3 seasons, respectively, and is really building momentum in recruiting. They're a perennial G5 power right now. Mel Tucker is basically starting several years behind that. It's incredible how Dantonio went from a CFP team in 2015 with five 10-win seasons in a six-year span to one over his last four with a 3-9 season and a pair of 7-6's. JoJo is a heck of an athlete. It'll be interesting to see how he fares on the defensive side of the ball, especially if he's in the same room as Jon Tenuta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantonio sold his soul with the Austin Robertson recruitment and then further tarnished his legacy with the recent Curtis Blackwell lawsuit where he got caught in a bed of lies. But just like Urban, it was simply “time to walk away...” 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
