IU has Walker and Scott, both true freshman that are playing a lot and playing well. Walker was a top 500 guy in his class as well.
Look, James may start for IU as a true freshman, but Scott and Walker are going to get touches.
Purdue has 849 rushing yards and IU has 981 with an extra game under their belt. Purdue will likely finish the year with very similar rushing numbers. The difference? Purdue has Moore, who opens up ridiculous run lanes. Whoever ends up at Purdue as the feature back is going to feast. Hewitt has a chance to be that guy for Purdue. He is putting up ridiculous numbers against lesser compition. A dominant running back would be very helpful. I would like a speedster that can catch and an all purpose back.
I saw an article for John Branham, a back out of Ohio. Said he just visited Purdue and doesn’t have an offer, but he really wants one.

Also, King Doerue, who was supposed to visit but had to miss. There was speculation that he could commit on his visit.

And of course Robinson, who has the potential to be the next Sproles and literally the perfect fit for Brohm’s offense. But, who knows where he ends up. Very possible it is whoever he visits last, but he will be making a decision soon enough and enroll early.
