Gunner Kiel commits to Indiana
Possibly the biggest football recruiting commitment in Indiana history. Will make the "Leaders" division very interesting in the next 4 years.
JC Shurburtt- Nation's top quarterback Gunner Kiel commits to #Indiana per @SWiltfong247
This reminds me of when Tim Couch commited to Kentucky. Can anyone think of a top 1 or 2 national QB going to a similar program?
he should be the BMOC if only anyone cared about Indiana football....do wish him well though.
We will be fine at QB through his college career...So good for them, I hope to see the big ten doing some big things over the next few years...Ive grown tired of all the SEC talk
staying home is good. i don't really HATE indiana the way i hate some other teams in the conference, same goes for minnesota. if he would have committed to purdue on the other hand - GRRRRR!
Is it possible to hate something that doesn't truly exist?
I was WELL aware that Indiana football existed.
Did it really exist before those games? I agree with you, of course.
If he had committed to Purdue, it would only be a matter of time before he became a Wolverine.
Wow. One can imagine the family tension if he ends up beating out his brother for the starting job.
then they'll only overlap 1 year for playtime, I believe.
He's likely the most physically gifted QB Indiana has had in....well...forever maybe? Something tells me he won't redshirt.
You don't commit to Indiana to redshirt.
wont happen
...if Gunner had finally decided on a day to anounnce!
You should probably just go back to bed.
Great choice
Indiana is going to be a force in 8 years
mich peeps will pay to go watch
gunner going to indiana is like the kid that is NUMBer 1 in mich.
o wait 2 or 3 years from now
we have some other lil kid in 2 years pushing denard
One name comes to mind that makes me 'ok' with this. SHANE MORRIS!
Althought Gunner is a good player/prospect, I like Shane Morris way more from watching videos etc. Sure, we could always use a guy like Gunner on the team, but it sets up for Morris to come right in and take the QB reigns.
On that note, good pull Indiana.
... the QB reigns behind the strong arm and quick feet of Devin Gardner, that is.
But, indeed, Quarterback-Linebacker-Offensivedefensivelineman-Defensivebacker U lives!!!
So elder Kiel is the probable starter this season, and then next year his little brother is going to arrive on campus as a 5-star recruit and "future" of IU football and be expected to start from day one (and unseat his older brother).
Awkward....
Wow. I NEVER thought he would actually commit to Indiana. Yeah he had them in his final group, but still.
Well he will have one of the best QB coaches on the planet.
EDIT: This is trolling? Because Denard isn't one of the best QBs on the planet who was coached by the now Indiana QB coach?
Has Rod Smith ever mentored a drop-back QB into the NFL? I honestly don't know his background at all before coming to Michigan, except he was at WVU a couple of years with RR.
Not sure if he was the coach at Tulane with Sean...
I don't think he was ever at Tulane.
A quick Google search turns up South Florida (never had a drop-back guy, let alone one sent to the NFL during his time there) followed by a year at WVU (with White at the helm... none there). His time at Michigan was next (nope).
Anyway, for one of the "best on the planet", he's had basically no success getting his guys into the NFL (unless you count Pat White's cup of coffee in the NFL).
Rod Smith was at South Florida for several years. He was only at WVU for one season (2007). Not sure if he's ever put anyone in the pros.
Anyway, as a general rule, you won't find the best QB coach on the planet coaching at Indiana.
I'm not gonna google this, but my memory is telling me that he wa in on us getting a lot of the good players we did get during RR's tenure.
He has spent a long time in Florida, so it would make sense. But again, if he were a dynamite name in the coaching field, a higher-level program would have gone after him.
negged just because of the troll identity you've carefully crafted. It's just another case of troll on troll crime.
This site was so much better when the shanty dwellers were still dwelling in thier shanties. Or is it us that were the shanty dwellers? Either way, stupid people are stupid.
You are more than welcome to leave.
You are also more than welcome to leave ;)
If I ever form an irrationally-strong attachment to a terrible coach, and he gets fired, causing me to hate life itself, I will.
Terrible definition: Extremely and shockingly or distressingly bad or serious
Rich head coaching career record: 120-84-2
Brady head coaching career record: 47-50
What are you defined as when you fail to perform as well as "terrible?"
15-22
6-18

Yep, with Hoke... we'll see.
With RR.... we know.
Thanks for the update.
Good God Almighty. How can someone defend our ex-coach at this point? You obviously don't care about defense, Dudeness.
HOW THE HELL CAN YOU NOT CARE ABOUT DEFENSE?
He didn't coach defense. He basically hired a DC who had been a HC so that he could turn that responsibility from recruiting to Saturdays over to them. It just didn't work out because he fired a good one and hired a bad one. I don't find anything wrong with the concept. It was just Gerg'd to hell.
I guess he didn't worry about special teams either.
....the special teams during those seasons were "special".
Head coach definition: The coach of the entire team
That's a Hall of Fame career at Minnesota
What are you defined as when you fail to perform as well as "terrible?"Usually you are defined as "fired", which, unless I am mistaken, is a label that has never been applied to Brady Hoke.
I am not sure you fully understand what I was going for there.
For the record I didn't want this to turn into a thread about RR or anything.
Thanks jm! You just put it best right here.
I love to see two old veterans duking it out!
JM - I know you're younger than me, but your responses never fail to remind me of how my father would respond if he were an MGoBoarder.
Could your father's response be read aloud on HBO before 8 PM?
Answer: you live in a shanty.
