Are you ready for some swag? Andre Kates is ready to bring it

Andre Kates interviews and comments can only get IU fans excited for the 2010 season. In this mornings Indy Star, Terry Hutchens, wrote a great article about Andre and signing day in general. Here are some quotes that I thought were pretty important. Here is the link.

The 22-year-old defensive back chose IU from 14 Division I offers, including Illinois and Minnesota in the Big Ten. He also had offers from schools such as Clemson, BYU, UCLA, Oklahoma State, Washington State and Oregon State.

"I wasn't looking around for a school to beat Indiana out, because if you look at my offer list, I had a lot of schools that could have easily beat them out," said Kates, a 5-11 cornerback from Washington, D.C. "But I wanted to go to a school where I could help make a change. I felt like Indiana was that place. I want to help get the fans excited to see IU football again.
"And I'm not going to Indiana looking to win five or six games in a season. I'm going to Indiana to help lead them to a Big Ten championship."
Kates said he called Lynch as soon as he reached his school Wednesday.
"I asked, 'Are you ready for me to bring some swag to IU?' " Kates said. "And he said, 'Bring it on.' "
