No, I should have added a DWS to that.

They'll delay ruling until Feb.

Cherry might well end up as IU's starting QB, but I doubt its next year. Anything can happen but being that he's 3rd string at the moment, he may not even get much time in blowouts. I too think that IU will see homegrown QB's under Cignetti, I tend to think it will be guys in their 3rd, 4th or 5th year. I know a lot of people look at the fact that Cignetti has used transfer QB's for like 9 years straight or something and think that trend will continue, and I think he'll always keep an eye on the portal, but I don't think its automatic. I think the level of QB recruits he's bringing in is heads and tails above what he had to work with when he got to IU, and I'd say he probably felt the need to elevate his QB's at JMU as they transitioned to FBS. We'll see, but I don't know how you continue to recruit quality QB's to IU if they have no shot at being "the guy".

I thought Alberto would have got his shot, but I didn't think it was this year. I thought the next two years were his to shine. He didn't want to wait, and I understand that. Best of luck to him, and looking at the GT QB coach, I think he's in fine hands. And I agree, I don't think he ends up back in Btown.

#threepeat

Well, we'll see what he says when Cig drops 90 on his @$$ on his way to the second leg of the #threepeat.

And Kellan Wyatt is officially returning to IU this season!

Not sure if its reliable or not, but there is chatter that both Wyatt and Brady are returning also.

He played and contributed, but Nowakowski stole the show last year at tight end.

What I find interesting about that is that I am on college football forums daily (often hourly), watch any number of podcasts on college football in a week, and read all kinds of articles on college football, and completely missed that they had changed that. I don't know how that was possible.

Not sure where you're at there. If any of the above mentioned players were to return, I would think it would be as scholarship players. Therefore there has to be scholarship open. That has to do with the 85 scholarship limit, not the full roster limit. Doesn't matter if we have 3 walkon spots if the guy isn't a walkon candidate, and I would assume neither Daley, Staes or Wyatt is.

Yes, I understand the walkons and 105 roster limiy, but I'm guessing none of those players are coming back as walkons. So it was trying to figure out if there was a scholarship available. Looks like there is 1.

Stephens is a walkon.

Tristan Abrams left the team in late June or early July, although he just publicly announced it. They were at 85 before he left. If Stephens is a scholarship player, and he may not be, then they are back at 85.

I don't think any. Iosua Stephens joined the team about 6 weeks ago and I think he is scholarship although that might be incorrect. I believe that has us at 85.

The Oregon game was when I shelled out for B1G championship tickets. Money well spent.

Yeah, the whining from the SEC is just juvenile. Quit crying about the strength of the SEC and how you beat each other up. Show up and win the CFP and bowl games and we'll talk. I don't care that you have a depleted team because you have players transferring out or sitting out for the draft. All that means to me is that you either recruited the wrong guys or failed to structure the terms of the rev share/NIL paperwork so that it costs too much to crap out on your team. Quit crying and win the games.

And without a doubt I can listen to that over and over again.

I will be having to give some of these on your lists a listen too. Some in here I've never heard of.

I tend to move from one style of music to another with a lot of weird mixes. I can't say I love opera, but I have a great appreciation for the vocal talents there. I can pop up the video of Pavarotti singing Nessun Dorma in Dodger Stadium and just watch it repeatedly. But I might be listening to Willie, Motown, R&B, bluegrass or just about anything else a hour later. Have a ton of opera records left to us by my uncle. He was a professional singer and loved opera.

I tend to do a lot of greatest hits albums but I'll give this a shot. Numbered but also not ranked or ordered. 1. Live 2 Five - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band 2. For The Record - Alabama 3. Confederate Railroad - Greatest Hits 4. Ellis Island - The Irish Tenors 5. Their Greatest Hits - The Eagles 6. Stars: The Best of 1992-2002 - The Cranberries 7. The Three Tenors in Concert 1994 - Carreras, Pavarotti and Domingo 8. Les Misérables: The Dream Cast in Concert 9. Greatest Hits(All 3) - The Oak Ridge Boys 10. Chronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits - CCR

Well, he hadn't planned on committing this early, but schools are really pushing to get their QB in the fold early and build a class around him. Same with Purcell in the current class. Lukas realized recently that spots were already starting to get filled and if he wanted his choice of schools he was going to have to move his timeline up.

Pretty typical. TJ Lewis, RB out of Bolingbrook is listed at 6'0", 215 lbs, but got to his Illini visit and apparently came in at 5'9, 235lbs.

That was my first thought.
