BDH is right. All this coach has to do is get IU off the bottom of the Big 10 barrel, and produce some winning seasons. By doing this he'll start to draw some more recruits and leave the program sitting pretty for the next guy to come in. I dont think Hoeppner is one to turn IU into a big ten champion, but he can at least maximize the current and improve the overall incoming talent like he did at Miami(OH).
Just to touch on the Penn State topic a little bit more, they just landed the #1 recruit for the '05 class, and already have another #10 recruit, this is huge for them landing other recruits. I honestly feel Joe Pa would leave Penn State if he felt he wouldnt see another good team before he left. Penn State has a great defense already, if they can shape up their offense they have a solid team.
