    IUFB 2024/25 Portalstravaganza

    I think with Mendoza it may come down to personal vs team goals: if he wants the place that will potentially get him the most NFL ready, I think that’s IU. If he wants the place where he has the best opportunity to play for a national championship, I think that’s Georgia.

    Looks like on3 is still listing Georgia as the favorite for Mendoza—we should know pretty soon

    That was a lock as soon as Oklahoma hired Arbuckle away from WSU to be Venables’ new OC.

    Some people are interpreting Fickell’s firing of Longo as a sign that he’s changing course on the whole Air Raid approach. Guess we’ll see on that one. I would hope that the QB opportunity at IU is at least as attractive to portal guys as what’s currently available at Wisconsin or UCLA. And Mendoza (the Elder) doesn’t strike me as someone who would aspire to go somewhere like UGA so he can hand the ball off to a room full of 5-star running backs but time will tell.

    No doubt-not really sure what the attraction might be for Mendoza (or other portal QBs) about playing at Wisconsin, especially compared to Cig’s offense. Or Georgia, for that matter, where their overall record has been great but their record on QB development has been pretty mid imo.

    Haven’t seen Alberto play, but based on what I saw of his older brother this fall and what some NFL scouts are apparently saying, if he came to IU it wouldn’t surprise me if he was IU’s starting QB by opening day next season.

    2024 Hoosier Hysteria - Friday, October 18, 2024

    Sounds like Woodson may not want to stagger those minutes or have Mgbako at the 4 any more than he has to. Hope he’s more flexible than that, but I guess we’ll see soon enough.

    Thought I read somewhere that Ohio State was after Hatton too fwiw

    I haven’t seen Georgetown play in years but in general I’d prefer an underclassman for a backup big instead of having to add 2 new bigs again a year from now.

    Would Ryan Mutombo be a possibility? Apparently transferring from Georgetown, originally from Ya’s Atlanta area fwiw. I assume he’s related to Dikembe M.

    He’s one I’ve wondered about, along with the Reeves kid (Duke iirc)

    Some would but they might well be guys the staff thinks won’t ever develop into legit B1G 10 starters anyway
  13. Magisterium

    Transfer Portal w IU Interest

    I’d prefer an underclass man big who potentially could start in 2025-26 but maybe the staff doesn’t like any of those guys currently in the portal?

    Does VCU also have a 6’ 11” guy in the portal? Wheeler iirc
  15. Magisterium

    Transfer Portal w IU Interest

    Lot more playing time there I’d assume CU is a strange program: not much success nationally, but every time I look up they’ve got 1 or 2 players in the NBA lottery

    Realistically maybe they could make a run at one of the other post players like the guys from Creighton, USC or Nevada. Or maybe the guy from (iirc) Weber State.

    Allegedly Scheyer wants a more experienced lineup to surround Cooper Flagg with next season and he isn’t that concerned about some of the guys he’s losing. I guess we’ll see how that plays out. Gotta be a big adjustment for programs like Duke, Kentucky and Kansas now that everyone can buy players.

    I brought up his name the other day-from Yorkville IL iirc basically a bigger, more athletic version of Essegian
  19. Magisterium

    I thought Kansas might go after him but I guess they just got Storr, so maybe not
  20. Magisterium

    Any chance they might get in touch with Jaden Schutt? Duke shooting guard from Chicago area now in portal
  21. Magisterium

    This is why Malone intrigues me—he might have some of Essegian’s shooting plus more size and rebounding sounds like there’s a pretty good market for him though
  22. Magisterium

    Transfer Portal w IU Interest

    UK, UConn, and….maybe Michigan?
  23. Magisterium

    Transfer Portal w IU Interest

    It may be simplistic but it sounds like Malone (or Humrichous) could provide a lot of the same shooting as Essegian but with more size as well
  24. Magisterium

    Transfer Portal w IU Interest

    If Ballo commits does Williams still visit (fwiw he’s got some positional versatility)? and if not maybe Malone or Brea gets the last spot (assuming Carlyle is on board)?

    I would’ve expected Bradshaw to wait and maybe follow Cal-didn’t see his quick commit to tOSU coming
