I'm not privy to GBR, what is that exactly?

Are you talking about Ben Humrichous? I saw him play a few times this past season. Credit to Coach David Ragland and his staff for upping his game because he was definitely a positive for UE. But honestly, I'm not sure he'd fit with IUBB well. It's possible, but I think he might be a liability on the defensive side of the ball. No knock on him, he was fun to watch this year and a breath of fresh air for UE basketball in general. Hope he lands somewhere and continues to get better.

And excellent defense against the 3 ball.

Is he a F1 visa? If he is then he's limited on NIL.

Top 100 OT out of Macomb, MI (but his Twitter account says he's from Pancake City. lol) 247 On3 https://twitter.com/justinbell0426/status/1779613124921860216

Yeah he's for sure small. Probably the reason why he was at Austin Peay to begin with. They need depth at that position and adding one of the topped ranked FCS corners will definitely add competition during practice. He's just the type of guy Coach Cig wants, someone that has something to prove with a chip on his shoulder. Who knows if he'll ever step foot on the gridiron on Saturdays. Best of luck to him and I hope he beats the odds. I will say he did get a pick and PD against Bama in 2022 and a FF, 4 solos, 2 ast and 1 PD against the Vols last year. So he's no stranger to size. He also sees size at the FCS level as well.

FCS All-American CB Cedarius Doss will be on the roster for the 2024 season. https://twitter.com/DadaDoss1/status/1779550430453731826

Committed today.

Top 100 LB out of Cincinnati, OH 247 Rivals On3

I don't know who Brad Crawford is but he's got IUFB on this list. And if this is even remotely true, it tells me Indiana is finally ready to get serious about its football program. For us that have been paying attention, we already knew Coach Cig wouldn't have taken the job if he didn't have the resources and backing of the university from top to bottom. But to be on this type of list where resources seem to be a larger bucket has me wonder how accurate it is. On the other hand, it also kind of makes sense if you think about it. Coach Cig has done only one thing throughout his entire head coaching career, win. Google him. Man, I can't wait for the season to start.

"Change the way people think." -Coach Cig

"No self imposed limitations." -Coach Cig

I'm sure he fully expects that to happen. I'm also certain he and his staff will be hitting the portal as well. They need to fill some spots on the defensive side of the ball. Losing Blidi comes to mind.

15 minute interview: Hoosier Hysterics Podcast: Coach Cignetti He mentions a desire to change some NIL rules and understands the importance of football (83% revenue) in the athletic department. It's worth a listen.

Shane Wynn also comes to mind. Yeah, I typically don't get too excited about verbal commits until after the season is over. We haven't even started the season. LOL.

Yeah, Lucas is probably a really good comparison. Shane Wynn is another comparison. Bond is under 5'10" but is able to create space. It also helps that his teammates on the field are really good as well. He has offers from a handful of P4 schools, Maryland being one of them.
