DumfriesYMCA Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 (edited) Both Rory Heltsley and Cade Virgin of Gibson Southern have elected to pass on the FCS/D1 offers and team up at UIndy. HUGE get for the greyhounds and congrats to these two young men. Edited December 10, 2021 by DumfriesYMCA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarab527 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Also grabbed Chesterton QB Chris Mullen, who I think is another steal for them. Good day for the Greyhounds 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bash Riprock Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Heltsey passing on Air Force for a D2 school says something. Military is not for everyone, regardless of the degree value. As a Greyhound alum (grad school) thrilled for the UIndy program to have these guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rory could very well be interested in joining the military. Plenty of factors that go into making a decision. like the fact that they have had only 1 2000 yard passing season….and it was in 1970…lol. Phenomenal school for many things and for many reasons…but a very tough sell to WRs and QBs knowing the team will be bottom 5 in passing yards every year.

I didn't mean it negatively....Academies are amazing, but a very different college experience. Not for everyone. I see wanting to get his hands on the ball....but unless one is going pro....good to think about an education that is valued at $70K/year. Now, it has to be paid back with 5 years of military service....that's not for everyone. Also, Colorado Springs...while beautiful...is a long way from home. Regardless, I can only assume he made the best decision for him. Passing on playing in the Mountain West conference....and going to the venues of the teams the AFA plays had to be a tough choice.

It seems IUPUI and UIndy have a joint ROTC program, so that would be an option ... as would just going to OCS after earning a four year degree. The connection at most military academies, let alone the academies, open so, so, so many doors in different careers. Much respect to those who manage ROTC, athletics, and the books. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st_and_10 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 UIndy also got a commitment from Zionsville RB Colin Price. I believe he was a 4 year starter at ZVille. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimeqb Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 UIndy is in a great position, IMO. Now that St Joseph is gone, they are the only D2 school in the state. Unlike the FBS and FCS schools, they can give partial scholarships. Big advantage IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian becomes their stiffest competition for recruiting. Knights are 2-0 vs the Hounds as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
