So, we had 2 edge guys that we were recruiting: Katrell Webb #625 nationally overall player and #61 Edge.
Ronelle Johnson #296 nationally overall player and #30 Edge.
Not sure if it was our plan to take both but on paper, Johnson is a much higher rated player and appeared to have much heavier interest from bigger schools than Webb. I’d think we are planning on 1 more Edge guy since once most schools are recruiting anywhere from 2-4 of these guys in the class and some will bulk up and eventually get to interior DL positions.
@thehoosierhuddle With the increase in popularity maybe we can get a sponsor for Memorial Stadium. Could be several million per year.
They announced last year they were looking for people to do the naming rights of the playing surfaces for IUFB and IUBB.
4/5-4* recruits in this class shows this is The New Indiana! I'm lov'in it!!
I am guessing you’ve seen this but it isn’t quite what you had in mind?
@tammany I didn’t see it, but that’s old right? That’s not the new Hoosier.

I have seen this but I expect there will be a more up-to-date version coming out.

Eli Lilly Memorial Stadium or Eli Lilly Field at Memorial Stadium. We can have a skinny Bison mascot that takes their GLP-1 weight loss drug.

If Webb had wanted to commit to us before Johnson, the staff would had gladly taken it. They evaluate and recruit who they believe can play, not how other teams have evaluated and chosen to recruit said kid.
@thehoosierhuddle I was at the IU bookstore over the 4th. They have a cute bison pillow that you can get. Just the first thing I saw.
