It took the last game of the season to accomplish this. They have accomplished everything on this list except the NFL draft. That will be determined in April 2025.

I think you're right, but winning that first game would be sweet!

Feeling like we end up playing Tenn.  Texas and SMU win.  We end up as essentially the 9th seed with the 8th ranking because Boise jumps us.

Starters
RT Trey Wedig - 6'7" 319lbs
LT  Carter Smith - 6'5" 308lbs

Backups
Cooper Jones - 6'5" 314lbs
Austin Barrett - 6'6" 308lbs
Redshirts (they'll probably add pounds during the offseason)
Evan Lawrence 6'6" 281lbs
Austin Leibfried 6'6" 288lbs

I think we're pretty solid with size, it's just depth and development. And who knows how many in the OL room decide to transfer out.  

If Texas and SMU win then. Those two and Boise State/Oregon round out top 4. 
 
Then you have Notre Dame, Tenn, Penn State and Ohio state. Unless we leapfrog Tenn today no real chance of hosting 

Another name to watch...
WR Trayvon Rudolph from NIU (Cig and Shanahan started following this afternoon)

Nah man, the "Bowl experience" will be considered playing in the NIT.  This is a good thing. A CFP participant is much much more coveted. Way way way more important than playing the Citrus or whichever else. Recruits know this too.

You sir, are the master.

Let's hope this month fills holes for next season.  Remember, production > potential. Whoever decides to transfer here will most likely be a solid contributer to his current team.  And Coach Cig isn't afraid to look at G5 and FCS talent with chips on the shoulders.  
Definitely need depth at OL.  

Harold Fannin or Tanner Koziol, please and thank you. 

I'm waiting on the All-conference announcements. Once those drop, I'll have a wish list. Regardless, front 5 and front 7 need to be addressed for depth.

For example, someone like Red Murdock, LB out of Buffalo, will more than likely be an all-conference. He's a SO from VA. I wouldn't be surprised if he's caught the eye of Coach Haines. 

Eric O'Neil and Khairi Manns out of JMU are other names to keep an eye on.

Fannin is going to get PAIIIDDDDD. (By an NFL team)

yeah, but what's weird.. Sports Reference has it wrong too. :(
Our website (his bio page) has 2021 as playing in 11 games or something like that. Horton played in only a handful as a FR, too, or we'd have him back. sigh
 
Come to think of it... replacing Horton will be as difficult as replacing any that aren't Rourke.

A year ago today we were introduced to a really good football coach to be IUFB's next coach.
