    IUBB vs Incarnate Word - Sunday, 11.16.25 @ 5:30 on BTN

    I don't expect us to shoot 40+% as a team from three all year. I was disappointed with the free throw shooting. Coach DeVries has plenty of rope, this year we'll surprise a few teams at home. .500 in conference will be something to be proud of with this group. Year two make the tournament and year three it needs to be the DeVries vision and we need to be sweet 16ish. That's reasonable. We will get pummeled by a few teams this year.

    We are all guessing about next years QB and my guess is that our starter will be someone that will arrive at IU with at least 2-3k passing yards already under his belt. Cig likes production and I think that is particularly true at the QB position.

    I’ll put my loathing of SEC bias up there with anyone, but if Notre Dame falls tonight because Oklahoma beat Alabama so they move Oklahoma ahead them but don’t drop Bama below them I’m gonna howl. The titanic battle between SEC bias and ND bias.

    (2026) - C Arafan Diane

    Keep your eyes on all of the juniors and under that play C and PG. They'll probably hit the portal.

    Well, I didn't want to cancel Louisville, and Colorado State backed out.

    Bought me a used Whop Philyor jersey off eBay, going to sneak it in under my work clothes during the Big Ten Championship game.
  11. That’s certainly a take for a guy who is going to go 0-9 in the games he didn’t get to handpick

    From the limited game samples of Alberto, I would think that what could potentially hold him back is not his height, but that he might not have enough pop in his arm to throw the whole route tree.

    I'm not sure Cignetti would want Leavitt. His completion percentages are much lower than both Rourke's and Mendoza's were before coming to IU. It could be due to personnel around him and/or scheme, but I think that is something the staff really values.

    100% As for the style aspect mentioned above, it’s worth noting that Cig had some DAMN good JMU teams with QBs that leaned more toward running. Jordan McCloud was a dawg. Todd Centeio was too. The Doza/Rourke build has been good to us, but don’t think we’re married to it either.

    I think Wayne kind hit on the one thing that might hold Alberto back. He’s listed at 6-2.

    I obviously trust the staff, but I’d think we take advantage of this Fernando momentum (wins, Heisman chance, draft pick) and try and get another big time QB in the portal. Obviously a guy like Fernando makes a big difference! But, I’ll just watch a learn with this staff. If they like Alberto that’s cool. He shorter with less arm strength that Fernando, but he’s more athletic and has been in the system a long time. The staff really like him.

    Who ever it is he will have to earn the start! Nothing given.

    On the one hand, have to assume Cig will definitely want to add quality depth across the board and have guys compete. On the other hand, Alberto has been through a lot with Cig and will be going into his third year in the system. Committed at JMU, followed to IU, got his older brother to come here over Georgia and others... they've been through a lot together and I don't think that can be totally discounted. In the end I expect we take a quality QB transfer but I don't think it'll be a given that they beat out Alberto for the starting spot.

    Great discussion! I betcha the staff already has a pretty good idea about whether Alberto will be our main guy next year.

    Without a transfer, we would have Alberto, RS Fr Jacob Bell, true frosh Cash Herrera, and maybe Tyler Cherry if he returns? Gotta think we bring in someone big

    Sure is. I don’t want Medoza to ever leave. lol. He’s one of my all tie favorites. Just and awesome human being. Smart, tough, the most ideal teammate. He will be greatly missed. Coach Cig knows ball, but he has a tough decision to make next year on if Alberto can be the guy. I think the formula of finding the 6’5” guy that has the skill set and mentality out of the portal is hard to ignore especially as our ability to hand pick the guy increases.
  23. Brass Cannon

    IUFB Offseason Updates

    That’s fair. I like Alberto my big thing is we have had success with experienced QBs do we change up the formula? If so we basically won’t be able to recruit freshmen QBs. Do we change up the formula though. Years in the system could be worth something.

    I would predict if we brought in another sure starter at QB that Alberto will look elsewhere
