3. Other prestigious schools can usually scoop up the top talent. Whoever this coach is needs to find the best players available to fit the system.

Best of luck to IU and I hope this works out.
I always figured the problem was there weren't many decent football players in Indiana. Have they missed out on in state talent recently?
