Indiana just stole the school’s best recruit in modern history from Ohio State a day after losing to them

Less than 24 hours ago, Ohio State held off a punching-up Indiana — much the way we’ve seen what feels like hundreds of times this decade. Today, Indiana’s finally got a different sort of win over the Buckeyes on the gridiron.

Sampson James, the 10th best running back in the entire 2019 class, will stay home and be an Indiana Hoosier — flipping from his longtime Ohio State commitment. The Avon back becomes Indiana’s highest-rated recruit ever in the modern recruiting rankings era.

This is a, um, big f***ing deal, as one might say.

We’ll update shortly with more as we the why behind the decision emerges.
