Gunner Kiel picks Indiana

[thejumper5]

In one of the stunning recruiting decisions of the past few years, the nation's top ranked QB has chosen to stay at home (he's from Indianapolis) and go to Indiana, where he will compete with one of his older brothers for playing time. Iowa was on him early, but he never really tipped his hand too much about where he was leaning. That made today's decision even more surprising. Great pick up for the Hoosiers.

Wow I never thought he'd end up picking Indiana. Very good pickup for the Hoosiers.

I believe B. Stoops stated the new Indiana coach was the best recruiter he has ever seen.

How good can a QB named Gunner be anyways.

Kevin Wilson is an elite recruiter. He will make the Hoosiers a contender in their division in 3 years (Kiel's sophomore season).

If he's that good of a recruiter, I don't see him staying at Indiana much longer than those three years.

+1.

Especially when he sees himself losing recruiting battles that he knows he could win at other schools..

Good point. I think his 3rd year is like Zook's Rose Bowl year but Wilson will take advantage and go to a bigger program.

That would be crazy to see.

A diamond surrounded by crap is still a diamond surrounded by crap. Good luck Gunner.

It is not possible to turn Indiana football into a winner, particularly in a division with Wisconsin, Penn State, and Ohio State.

They will be lucky to reach McCarney-era Iowa State status.

The guy might be able to recruit and coach O, but IU has had that for at least a decade now. Their defense, meanwhile, will continue to be a mess.

They should have went with KOK.

At the end of the day Indiana football is still Indiana football-they are just putting lipstick on a pig

You'd better go get that checked out.

I'll do my best Steve Deace impersonation:

Indiana will be the 2014 BCS champion.

That's a nice try, but it should look more like this:

After leading IU to the 2014 BCS championship, coach Kevin Wilson, on advice from his good friend Bob Stoops, becomes the new head coach at the University of Iowa, after Kirk Ferentz is forced to step down amid intense media scrutiny over a burgeoning parking ticket scandal involving several Iowa players.

Yep, that's better. And then Lane Kiffin will be hired by Indiana.
