'14 IN OLB/S Drue Tranquill (Purdue Verbal)

Steve posted that he isn't sure the PSU offer will mean much (despite Drue's "honest look" comment) and that Drue's final decision could still come in the very near future. He is discussing it with those closest to him his week.

At this point I'd rather have Sykes. Better frame and more natural at said position (LB).

Give me both, IMO. We have ~8 spots left not counting McKenzie (I think the writing is on the wall there). We can afford to take two ILB candidates in addition to Martini, especially if Tranquill/Sykes are as versatile as we're lead to believe. We've only signed 2 ILBs in the past 3 classes... yet try to put two on the field at a time. That's insanity. We probably need 3 in this class even if Randolph moves to ILB full time, and we only currently have 1 kid committed.

I agree completely. I'd rather have excess up the middle on defense then at WR, where we have great depth and is a much easier position to fill.

It's funny that my opinion of this recruitment was ridiculed before, but now it seems to be the popular opinion.

Let's just quit posting here until he makes a final decision. Will save a lot of heartburn for everyone.

I believe Drue and his brother Justin will be on a segment on the "Indiana Chevy Prep Zone" airing at 5 pm tonight on FSMW in case anyone wants to catch it. Should be similar to the one that they did on Justin Brent a couple weeks ago.

Absolutely. Even assuming a 5Y for Moore and a permanent move inside for Randolph, we still need to sign 3 ILBs this cycle.

Hahaha Jesus. I told you guys he was a looney tune. He's a entertaing poster though. Pm me the details I wanna here this.

The post hasn't been deleted yet. It's in the Kolin Hill thread.

It probably should be deleted though, if a mod wouldn't mind.

They are deleted. Thanks for the heads up.

Looks like the whole "why waste so much time on a 3-star" camp doesn't have a leg to stand on anymore...

You guys don't actually believe that, do you?

If we are calling that a 4.47, then we are saying that he is faster than all of the linebackers at last years combine.
