And yet looking at his offers there is one big team that did not offer.

Funny I noticed that too...but I would assume it was because we don't offer a guy we aren't recruiting.
As good as this kid maybe, at Indiana he going to hammered by so many school because he just won't have the supporting cast...

While a bit of a shocker, he does have ties to IU since one of his brothers goes there and I think plays football also.

His brother is a QB there and I believe is in line to start in the 12-13 season as a senior which means the younger Kiel can redshirt, learn and then start in 13-14. Still, even with his brother being there, this is a huge coup for Kevin Wilson and IU. This kid can now be in the ears of other elite Midwest prospects about teaming up and turning the Hoosiers around. While not likely, this still puts them on the recruiting map, where they weren't two weeks ago. This would be like Wazzu pulling the top QB in the country in. Kudos to Kevin Wilson for this get.

First year coach at Indiana and the state of Indiana produces some talent year in and year out. Having the #1 QB could well be a selling point for the future with recruits. Indiana has been down, but all it takes is the right coach and with Kiel it looks likes they are headed in the right direction. Tim Couch led Kentucky to the Outback Bowl after they had been down for a very long time after coming in as the Top QB. Indiana produces more talent than Kentucky. I'd say it's possible if not probable that Kiel will eventually lead Indiana to compete down the line.

Let's see if Kiel is still committed to Indiana when LOI time rolls around.

I wonder how long until IU gets investigated, because they are like UO, trying to crash the good ol boy club.

That would be like kicking a puppy when it's down
(on a serious note, the NCAA was just through there because of Kelvin Sampson, I doubt anyone lets anything happen after that)
