It has been an incredibly busy week for Coach Wilson and his staff, racking up the frequent flyer miles as they travel all over the country identifying and evaluating talented athletes, searching for the team's next "Boom." The Hoosiers were particularly active in SEC country, extending multiple offers in the states of Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and Texas. The team did not stop there, however, offering prospects in conference opponents' backyards.

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, visits 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.

The Hoosiers 2016 recruiting class is now off and running with the commitment of Ohio quarterback Peyton Ramsey. His announcement came on Tuesday night via twitter, just moments before I posted my article meant to reassure fans that the slow start in recruiting was no cause for worry. The Hoosiers also appear to be in good shape with Ohio's Chawntez Moss and Missouri's Roderick Campbell Jr. Indiana also extended offers this week to defensive ends Michael Boykin and AJ Epenesa. The Hoosiers hosted two talented running back prospects on Thursday night, 2016's Kiante Enis and 2017's Kurt Taylor. Those corresponding tweets and more are below.

Despite missing out on Avon's Brandon Peters, the Hoosiers have a host of other talented targets from the 2016 class on their radar. Below are the prospects that currently have offers from Indiana or could be on the verge of landing one. Included is Tampa's Rex Culpepper, as there is some discrepancy between the three recruiting websites as to whether he holds an offer from the Hoosiers or not. Also included are Peters, Austin Kendall, and Noah Wezensky, because as we know when it comes to recruiting never count out the Hoosiers coaching staff, even after a player has committed elsewhere. Star rankings are based upon 247 Sports Composite Rankings.

This last week has been a busy one for recruiting, especially at the quarterback position. Two IU targets, Avon's Brandon Peters and North Carolina's Austin Kendall committed elsewhere this week. The Hoosiers also extended an offer to a dual threat quarterback from the Sooner State, Terry Wilson. Also, during our discussion with Rivals' Matt Weaver on this week's Inside the Huddle we found out that Ohio's Peyton Ramsey has Indiana in his top two along with Boston College.  Below are those corresponding tweets and more that could have an impact on recruiting for the Hoosiers.
