Oof. A little jarring seeing as our reporters have been impressed with some of the additions. Clearly outside analysts believe we didn't do a good job recruiting players. Jimmy was put in a bad situation based on timing, but articles like this remind me that we could very well go 2-10 next season. It would be devastating for the program and the AD.
So the knock is that we got FCS players? That doesn’t really seem like any deep level analysis. Doesn’t seem like the reporter did anything but look at what the team the transfer was coming from.
Transfer rankings are worthless, and they might be even worse than that. Look no further than our basketball transfers and the success we've had there. None of those guys were seen as big gets. Kalscheur, Brockington, Jefferson, Buchanan, Gilbert, Jones, etc... all studs. 'Experts' who rank transfers have zero idea what they're looking for, just taking a wild guess based on where the kid played and where he is transferring too. They're not studying hours of film on these guys. Probably not even watching a highlight tape for most of them.Ouch! Oh no! One man's opinion is unfavorable!!! Why go on????
How did the talking heads evaluate Indiana’s transfer class last year? No one knows anything right now…
Amen. These recruiting rankings are like pre-season rankings, they may generate some clicks but they're absolutely worthless.
Unless our team is near the top of said list. Then they're fun, accurate, and building to the momentum and hype of the program!
Guessing that this will find its way to a bulletin board inside the Cyclone facility and increase the sizes of the chips on said transfers shoulders.
