Weekly Recruiting Roundup 5-1-15
/Written By: Nick Holmes (@HoosierHolmes)
The Hoosiers coaching staff was out in full force on the recruiting trail this week, traveling all over the country to get a closer look at potential prospects. College football is currently in the midst of its spring evaluation period, April 15th to May 31st, an opportunity for coaches to go watch athletes compete, visit their high schools, and contact the athlete and their parents via letter or telephone. While Indiana did not pick up any new commits, there was not shortage of recruiting news this week as Wilson and his staff extended multiple offers this week to recruits of the 2016 and '17 classes. Among those were at least three athletes from the Lone Star State, including Paddy Fisher, Brayden Stringer, and Taylor Perry. This past week also saw the commitment of some Hoosier targets to conference rivals. Those corresponding tweets and more are below.
