Former Indiana WR James Hardy found dead

Submitted by Chuck on

 His body was found in a river days after he was reported missing. Hardy was pretty darn good for the Hoosiers amassing nearly 3,000 yards and 36 tds.  He was a big part, both on and off the field, in 2007 helping IU break their 14 year bowl drought following the death of then coach Terry Hoeppner.   Hardy played a few seasons in the NFL.  Story appears to still be developing.  He was 31. Rest in peace.

I remember going to the Indiana game in 2006 in Bloomington and although Hardy did not play a lot, as I recall, he was fun to watch when he was in there. 

Very sad to see someone taken that young. Thoughts and good vibes to his family - I cannot even imagine what this is like for them.

Yeah it's sad, i played against him in basketball and football in high school, we all thought he would go to the NBA. I feel horrible that his family has to deal with this
