I'm not sure being stuck behind Costello or being stuck behind Wimbush are drastically different situations.

Big difference... 1 class.

Screw this.... everybody over to the Greg Bryant thread... he's gone for the year.

From what BGI has reported it sounds like he has been convinced, to some degree, of two things. Though he has a great relationship with Sanford, it isn't Sanfords offense yet. Also, Sanford won't be around when he's there. A majority of the conversation revolved around that.

Convo with who? Butch Jones?

Honestly, the fact that he has locked in another visit to ND shows, IMHO, that ND is where his heart actually is. However, Butch Jones has done a good negative recruiting about whether Sanford will be there and his dad being in UT's corner hasn't helped. Again, I feel like ND is where Hunter wants to go, but the outside negative influences are marking him reconsider.

Jones knows he's losing this battle, thus the conjecture about Sanford and who controls the offense. I'm confident the staff is or will be addressing those issues.

Sanford spoke with Hunter about Ian Book, everything is good there.

Which sounds like we still have the slight upper hand, even with a great UT visit.

Great UT visit = no verbal
Great ND visit = could verbal = muy bueno for you Spanish speakers

Does anyone in the know see a potential conflict between Wimbush and Johnson? Is Johnson one of those QBs that is expecting to play by his Sophomore Year?

IF Hunter can be taken at his word...he doesn't care about the depth chart as he is confident in his abilities

Butch Jones might just have to let a few QBs get into some off the field issues between now and 2017 :)



ALWAYS a big "IF". Haha.

Steve W. saying he is starting to lean towards Tennessee again, I am getting the feeling Hunter wont be at ND

Is it Clifford from this class who is dying for the ND offer? This one trends a different way every week!

Yes. He committed to PSU because of the writing on the wall and to hold a spot in case HJ goes Irish. I'm sure the staff has discussed where they are with him in every scenario. His friend and teammate, offensive lineman Matt Bockhorst is in the same holding pattern and would commit tomorrow if offered.

I'm hoping we offer McCaffery's (spelling) son if Hunter goes elsewhere

Brownsburg (Ind.), led by class of 2017 five-star quarterback Hunter Johnson, will take on Avon (Ind.) at 8 pm on Sept. 11. The game will be played on ESPNU.

The matchup will contain two standout quarterbacks in Johnson, as well as four-star quarterback Brandon Peters, who is committed to Michigan. Also featured in this game is Brownsburg star running back Toks Akinribade, an Iowa commit.

Sorta odd that HJ lives in Avon (or has an Avon address) but will be playing against Avon High. I wonder if it's just a typical unincorporated county mailing address issue so common in Indiana? I wonder if it had anything to do with Peters being at Avon?

Pretty impressive that two adjoining small towns of 12,000 and 22,000 have 2 of the top QB's in America. Indy football has really exploded with the popularity of the Colts and the investment they've made into the sport in the metro area.

I'll bet you 10Bil they win 7 or more

I'll bet you all my internet points cuz fuck it why not.

Last year they beat Utah state, Arkansas state, TN Chattanooga, 6-6 South Carolina, 5-7 Kentucky, 3-9 Vandy, and 7-5 Big 10 Iowa. They didn't beat anyone. They return a lot but I see them losing to OU, Bama, UGA, Ark, Missouri, and one of SCAR and UK.

coulda shoulda woulda... I know...but they should have beat UGA and FL, and played Bama closer than the final score. Good recruiting is going to catch up with UT over the next two years.

I'll make it more interesting... 8 or more cause I dig the Philly. And give you 10-1 not to exceed 10Bil
