Robbins wanted to go to IU. He was seen wearing IU year long before he committed. He was essentially an IU lock as a junior. He will be good for them.
Tracy is going to be a beast and become on of IUs best recruiters. I really wanted Tracy but the two corners that Brohm signed were too good to pass up. Tracy will be very good for IU and I hope he is very successful. One of my coworker had a son that played with him.
If James takes a red shirt year, he would only have to compete against Scott for two years at most. (Keep in mind Scott had two RBs ranked above him in the ‘18 class in Pechac and Walker). Walker was a top 500 recruit and a top 20 RB. It’s possible James could still go in and win the job as Scott was only a 3 Star.
IU doesn’t have near the talent that Purdue has on their class, but they got some decent players they should be excited about. I don’t know how long they will keep Allen, but IU is still in a better place than Purdue was with Hazell (although, that doesn’t mean much.) Considering how little fan support IU football has, that is about as good as they could hope for. If not for the reversible jacket crew, would the basketball program have more support than Purdue? It seems unlikely considering their football turnouts.
