Just gotta figure out how to beat NW now. But NW and Maryland are about as good of a draw in the double match up as you could ask for. Plus getting the top 3 teams at home. No excuse to not go over .500 in conference play this year.

Agreed. Key will be to stay healthy

I'm hoping he flexes for the first B1G road game, because I'm gonna be at Rutgers (and in Btown for the OSU game!).

First glance gut reaction 4-3 in home only 4-3 in away only 4-2 in home & away Would be a 12-8 conference record. Could see anywhere from 10-10 to 14-6. Looking forward to seeing them in Peru. Bummer Yig won't play though

He has four years of college eligibilty left ya know. But if it's a package deal with taking Bronny I'm a hard pass.

Mendoza had the measurables to be the most coveted prospect but Hoover can easily be our best QB. He can be a better passer than Mendoza. Will he be able to beat teams with his legs not really. But Hoovers offense will look more like Rourkes. Hoover has a chance to be the best Big Ten QB. Moore really wasn’t that good last year I will die on that hill if you dig into it. 12/6 stat line in 9 Big Ten Games in regulation. Sayin is going to be asked to do a lot more with likely less weapons or at best similar. He’s going to have to take it to another level. Hoover is going to have the best defense in the conference. Maybe the country and a great running game. im really excited. Hoping Cig flexes the ole muscles for the first home big ten game

Looks very favorable, nice

VERY friendly schedule. NW is not looking good, and almost all of the toughest teams in the conference are home only games. Reads like the stars are aligning for some serious momentum building this coming season!

Seems like we got a very nice draw this year. As far as stacking wins at least

They're worlds from each other athletically. Best resume, ok. 3 straight really freaking good QBs. And really 4 straight, if you include FanDuel Express Sorsby

LeBron may be availailable though.

Wishful thinking. Not just to return to college, but to see any indication of an IU interest.

Hoover has the best pre-IU resume? 100% without a doubt. And for Cig to pass on Alberto for a specific interest in Hoover says a lot to me. Fernando Mendoza had the best measureables/ceiling for the NFL coming into his IU year.

Wait, is Momcilovic a real possibility or is this just wishful thinking? Apologies, I haven't been paying attention recently. I can't see any way we could possibly afford him, assuming he doesn't stay in the draft.

"Unless we have Momcilovic on the team them that will change my expectations." He's shown going anywhere between 38-45 in the NBA mocks that I've seen. The salary range is roughly $2.2m/yr average for 2nd round picks. Could IU/Cuban flip him for a yr with $4m-$4.5m?

Fraschilla and Bilas will have a fight to the death to determine who gets to propose to him.

I don't see how you can say the bold. One was 6'5 240lbs and fast af. I do think he's got a lot going for him, especially in terms of fit in the offense, but Mendoza had that, as well.

Ridiculous

This is not a hot take. Hoover is the best QB transferring into IUFB compared to the two previous NFL drafted QBs. I'm not saying that translates into a Heisman like season but today, during the spring, he's better than both of them were during the spring. He's also perfect for this offense. I have a feeling we're in for a treat folks.

Markus says he's ready to roll! Story here.

Given that June and July are the most common commitment months and that June/July commits have an 80+% chance of staying committed, these May visits are are about as important as it gets.

How did your discussion with family about renewing go/ Hopefully you were able to find a way to be in for another year.

I’d just call it “cradle crap.”

After nearly 70 years of distaste for all things Purdue, I take immense pleasure in the recent turn of events in football. For years, Purdue has promoted themselves as the "cradle of quarterbacks" and Cignetti has snatched that from them. Crushed their soul. Maybe they can be the "cradle of mediocre quarterbacks" going forward.
