I just want to point out: all these high school coaches talking about how much better it is dealing with helmer as opposed to chapman- Its not about you, sorry. Its about your athletes and from everything Ive ever heard from those athletes: this coaching staff is awful when it comes to dealing with recruits.
Ive spoken with both chapman and huntoon briefly and it seems they have similar philosophies- Im going to show a kid what we have to offer, and if he wants to come and is a good fit, awesome. If not, best of luck to him. Unfortunately, huntoon is not in charge of recruiting. Helmer went ahead and decided to leave that job up to these girls, fresh out of college (dont get me started), who have 0 experience. I know of 1 former IN HS athlete with a lot of talent, had a HUGE family tradition at IU, went on a visit, was shown as little respect as could possibly be shown, and left with IU falling off the list of possible colleges.
So basically, all Im saying is it really shouldn't matter how this guy treats you coaches; it matters how he and his staff deal with the athletes, and I haven't heard a single positive thing in regard to that.
