BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Understanding Tom Allen's recruiting success -- and you don't get to an 8-4 record and a January bowl without a lot of it -- means recognizing what Indiana's third-year coach wants in players.
Yes, Allen wants big, strong, fast, athletic guys, but it's more than that. It's the intangibles such as heart, competitiveness and resiliency that make the ultimate difference.
This 18-player class is designed to make a big difference.
"I want high-character guys who want to be developed in leadership and character, in decision-making in life," Allen said.
