  1. All signs are good. I'd be shocked if he didn't commit to play some 812FB.
  2. If you forced me to guess where he's going, I'd say Bama but man, IUFB is definitely in the mix.
  3. Yeah man, I don't know how much longer we'll be able to keep Coach Kuntz and Coach Williams on staff. If our front 7 does anything remotely similar to last season they're going to get big fat pay raises.
  4. DL out of Bradenton, FL 247 On3
  5. He's been on the spring ball circuit. Just recently made a visit to Cincy and Iowa St.. Has an OV to the school up north in June.
  6. Committed with his brother.
  7. I'll never understand the fascination with the 40yd. Especially, with OL.
  8. One of our top 2026 recruit 4-star DL Kevontay Hugan is no longer on the roster. Unknown as to why. Thankfully, there's plenty of depth at the position.
  9. Bummed about it. I'm not sure we'll find out the details but regardless, I wish the best for this young man.
  10. Does anyone know if that has ever happened to the program? Or is this another first?
  11. Yeah, well, I'm a football guy so my misery of watching administration after administration after administration continue to focus on the wrong sport or no sport at all year after year has hardened me a bit. We'll be fine. Good things are happening for athletics at Indiana University.
  12. Currently with the Cincinnati Bengals.
  13. Currently in the UFL playing for the Columbus Aviators
  14. Currently playing in the UFL for the DC Defenders.
  15. On3 has IUFB as the favorite at this point.
  16. I'm a football guy so you can imagine what kind of 'dry spell' I was put through before Pam Whitten. LOL! I have faith. She understands that athletics is part of the fabric of Indiana University.
  17. I just went through 17 pages and only saw Pam Whitten mentioned once. I could be wrong because it was a quick glance and I didn't fully read every comment. But it's nuts not to recognize the value of leadership from the top. When she became the 19th president of IU on July 1, 2021 is when the budget, spotlight, and resources shifted to the true revenue maker in college sports. She understood this on day one. No other president in the history of the school ever made such a paradigm shift for the university. And it paid off. It didn't happen over night, if you recall IUFB shook the trees for a couple of years prior to Curt Cignetti. They, meaning the top brass (Whitten and Dolson), built the infrastructure, hired the right staff, moved to contemporary jobs, and, most importantly, raised the funds that were needed. Once that happened, they did the coaching search. It took roughly 4 years to get to the point where IUFB is today. I firmly believe had any IUFB coach gone 6-6 or 7-6 over the last two years he'd be in an incredibly hot seat right now. The vision isn't 6-6 and that started when Whitten got hired. The brand isn't 6-6. Having a shot at the CFP is the brand. Understand this. Bloomington is now a place to be on Saturday's during the Fall. 50, 60 thousands come in and basically get a Little 5 every home game. This is the IU student experience today. The fans are showing up! This is her vision. Whitten and Dolson aren't done. IUBB will reap the benefits of her vision. Revenue. Revenue from IUFB will help this process. If DeVries doesn't produce to a standard, he'll be gone. That's the M.O. of this current administration, as it should be in my opinion. Coaching matters. You either have it or you don't. Is the IUBB culture dead? No. Does it need a jolt? Yes. But make no mistake, the top brass isn't treating IUBB like an intramural sport. Give it time and have faith.
