IU/PU Recruiting Hitting the Skids?

A question that has occurred to me a few times this season: has the importance of getting 5 star recruits right out of high school diminished due to the ease with which student athletes can transfer - especially grad students - and the ability to regularly supplement your roster that way?

I think rankings are overrated seems like IU is doing fine because they are good at player development

That’s great ... if “doing fine” is your goal.

So, your objective is top 10 in the nation. That’s a bit more specific than “doing fine.”

Dude, after 4 yrs. at Notre Dame, I found a lot that made Bloomington desirable when I went to law school. 😉

As a Boilermaker alumni...I was just joking...though, I do favor West Lafayette over Bloomington...but, that just me...lol

IU added some really solid transfers this offseason.

Added former top 50 recruit DJ Matthews from Florida State who should replace Whop Philiyor in the slot

Added Ryder Anderson DE from Ole Miss who immediately gives IU a solid pass rusher, the one thing IU's defense lacked last year

Interior lineman Zach Carpenter from Michigan who started for the Wolverines last year.

Those won't show up in any recruiting rankings but 3 players who should all contribute immediately for a team set to return 17-18 starters.

Transfer market going to kill prospects out of high school   

Tough sledding

Is he 1/16 (or whatever 3 it was) 4 star recruits?

This year was tough sledding for them from the jump. Our ILB is a MAC level player, but there is so much uncertainty among so many programs about what they would have available for offers, he has not had many follow through with an offer.
