When replacing Thad Matta became a serious discussion 4 years ago, Archie Miller was my #1 choice. When IU hired him and Matta decided to "step down" a few months later, I was initially pissed we let Archie get away. Especially that it was to IU. As I dug deeper into potential replacements, Holtmann quickly became a guy I was more than happy with.
I, and many, said that we'd be judging/comparing Holtmann based on how he did as opposed to Miller in Bloomington. Right now, I'd say we very clearly got the right guy.
Kudos on the pint glass from the Distillery... spent many a Wednesday night sitting over in a dark corner nursing one of those (sans logo), listening to Gaylord Dubois and the Men of Leisure. Smelled like no other bar on High Street.
You are exactly right. Dickerson was a huge loss at center.Bama had injuries too, Landon Dickerson 1st team All-American Center, Wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (the single most explosive wide receiver and punt returner in the country), Labryan Ray starting defensive end, and we lose Battle on a targeting call early in the game. Regarding injuries, if Jaylen Waddle is healthy, it's an even more lopsided score even if every player out for the Buck's is back. And the shortened season didn't seem to bother the Buck's against Clemson. Better team won this one, just like 2015 when OSU beat the Tide in New Orleans. When it's over I tip my hat to the winner and move on, excuses are worthless.
That’s a good comparison. He reminds me a lot of Antonio Pittman at the same time in career as well from a size perspective but closer to Samuel in skill set. Great film for a sophomoreTre’s video reminds me of Curtis Samuel...
I'm picturing a grey uniform script with Buckeyes in scarlet with white trim.
You can say that again!!
Zach Smith did go hard after him on his last podcast... not sure how exactly much to believe, but most of it makes sense. We lost a good amount of talented Midwest OL to ND. And not all of them could be under the excuse of "catholic school kids"If half the things Zach Smith has thrown out there are true, it is understandable why. A guy who took the Peter principle to the utter limit that is also becoming more and more of a ineffective dinosaur in recruiting to boot.
What would Bah and Tsahboula have to do with him? There are 2 other G and T spots on the OL. I'm sure even with those 2, they're looking at adding 3 more OL, Armella would have roomWas watching Bah and you can definitely see the potential but man I REALLY like Armella. OSU knew he was a stud before he entered his freshman yr. Hoping Bah and Teshbola don't prevent this kid from wearing the Scarlet and Grey
Garza gets away with a lot down there...felt like he was trying to rough our guys up...glad we threw it right back at him!A couple of his late shots hit the front of the rim.... I think he got beat up by Young & Key - as the round mound of rebound says - He was TURRED.....
IU has almost never recruited well, mainly because there's not a lot of elite talent. And the elite talent they do have usually goes to ND or leaves the state. Not a surprise. IU sees success with under the radar kids like Wisconsin because they almost always lose the head to head recruiting battles to the big boys.They are at #9 on Rivals: #2 Ohio State, 21 recruits, 3 five star players, 4.00 average rating, 2988 total points vs #9 scUM, 23 recruits, 0 five star players, 3.57 average rating, 2447 total points.
Other B1G teams:
# 14 Wisky
# 19 Corn
# 20 Turtle
# 24 Iowa
# 29 Ped State
# 36 Rutgers
# 37 Sparty
# 38 Gophers
# 54 Nerds
# 62 Indiana
# 72 Illinois
# 75 Purdue
Just sayin': I would have thought that Indiana would have done a little better than # 62 since they were coming off a very successful 2020 season. Hell, the Juggalos at #35 did better than 1/2 of the B1G.
