Weekend visitors this weekend and next and predictions

This weekend, the following were to be at IU:
Shane Covington
Will Matte
Nick Sliger
Marc Damisch
A.J. Thompson

Next weekend visitors are suppose to be:

Doug Wiggins a transfer from Miami Fla; 5'11" 190 CB with 4.4 speed

Orhian Johnson a 6'3" 180 QB/Athlete prospect from Gulfport, FL with 4.5 speed. A Kellen Lewis clone

Cortez Smith a 5'10" 195 DB prospect from Detroit Michigan with 4.55 speed. Played RB and DB this season but projects much better at DB in college.

Darius Willis a 6' 210 RB prospect from Franklin Central with 4.4 speed. Ran for 1,728 yards and 28 TDs this year and also had 2 receiving TDs as well. The complete package that could come in and start next season.

Also, I've been told that Trent Mossbrucker is trying to get a visit scheduled so that he can decommitt and join the Hoosiers. Don't know if this will take place next weekend, but expect it sometime soon. Mossbrucker is a committ to Iowa as a Kicker and he lives close to Bloomington in Mooresville. Since Lynch is staying at IU, Trent loves the stability and the situation, plus Starr has exploded onto the national sceneand Iowa's coach is being strongly considered at Michigan. All this seems to add up to a decommit and a committment for the Hoosiers. Trent has a strong leg with range to 50 yards and is good on kickoffs. Also, he played QB this season and did very well and could probably go D1 AA and be a QB somewhere but his future is kicking the ball.

So we know 4 big names are coming in and at this point, IU is in a very strong position with all of them. Smith is still very committed to IU and he mainly looked around until Coach Lynch's situation was finalized.

Sometime next week, I'm going to put together a list of kids I expect will fill our remaining 8 to 10 spots. Of course it's early, but it's fun to do a little predicting once in a while.

God Bless all!!
