Wiltfong just logged a prediction for Keys to Indiana

Yeah we show up on Saturday and take care of Maryland, I think Keys is ours.

Not Anthony Thompson but this will be a nice recruiting win, people gotta give DeVries time.

On3 guys were reporting Fuchs isn’t a take at Indiana and isn’t visiting anymore; any truth there?

I’ve actually heard the opposite on Fuchs, On3 guys reported Fuchs isn’t a take for Indiana right now and he won’t be visiting

As someone employed at a company who’s owned by PE, please no.

Sounds like Wyatt is likely done for the season. Stephen Daley going to have to step up.

Fox seems to think it’s the best time slot to avoid competition for night games, I think that ignores that nothing lends itself to a better atmosphere than a night game. Would love for Fox to stop the Big Noon nonsense but I think they want to avoid head to head collisions with high profile SEC games.

Want

Man would LOVE to get some of these PSU decommits.

Fox did that that to Washington last year lol

Landino is a damn stud, didn’t think of him as an impact guy before this season and he’s been wreaking havoc all year long. Him and Tucker are a nasty DT combo.

One thing I’m curious about is how Shanahan calls Oregon, one complaint is it feels like in every particularly big game, we get a little shy/conservative with our play calling. felt like that was the case with Iowa/Notre Dame/Ohio State, and obviously three of our worst offensive performances there. would like to see us be more aggressive there.

Astonishing the the home opener for this team still has 9,000 tickets left.

Bond and Byron Baldwin will both have sizable roles on this team.

Not surprising at all, I’ve heard Baldwin is a ******* stud. keeping him from the late Colorado push was huge.

Is it? Still showing tickets on the website

See, pretty notable change. You went from “true” freshman to just freshman, I’d say there’s a rather significant difference between guys who are fresh out of high school and guys who have a year+ under their belt at the college level. I also am not sure where you are coming up with these freshman from. LB? We have Isaiah Jones and Kaiden Turner there in reserve, neither of which are freshman. Safety has one freshman who’s in the two deep because he was extremely highly touted and impressed the staff early on. Interior D Line? Again, likely not a single freshman sitting on your two deep there, but as third string, sure? offensive line, once again, not one true freshman there, and you do have a few redshirt freshman across the board, but we have a clear top 6 there and versatile guys who can switch. I don’t think a redshirt freshman being in a reserve role is a red flag, every team in the country has that.

Yeah how many true freshman are in our two deep? Not really seeing this complaint. Only one I can think of is Byron Baldwin and that has more to do with Byron Baldwin being very good than us lacking depth.

Rourke did struggle in my view against better teams when the O Line didn’t hold up. Obviously ACL was a big part of that. but he just couldn’t move, couldn’t extend plays, and it’s really hard for your pass protection to hold consistently against teams like OSU and Notre Dame. that’s one element Mendoza brings, the guy can move.

Feel bad for anyone choosing Purdue

That’s true, im not super concerned about depth at some of those, particularly WR and secondary. We have some depth issues at corner, but Ponds/Sharpe/Grandy/Knighten are four legit corners and we have some young guys who were highly touted too, Jah Jah Boyd for one. WR is somewhat similar. Cooper/Sarratt are undeniably your top two but you still have EJ Williams/Jonathan Brady/Makai Jackson behind those guys, and then a couple young guys who will probably be getting reps like a LeBron Bond or a Davion Chandler. I will say I am really interested to see who wins that WR #3 job, I think Brady is the best body type for it, but that’ll be an interesting battle with Tyler Morris going down. Interior defensive line is the one position group I’m not sure we have a ton of depth or high end talent, but I’d love to be wrong.

One major worry I have is interior D-Line. Thought Tyrique Tucker was pretty great as a reserve last season, and then I expect Hosea Wheeler to take over the other starting spot. Dominique Ratcliff I expect to be the main reserve. I don’t know, I just think West/Carpenter were big losses, particularly West. Hope the new guys can fill that void because it’s a big one. That’s about the one position group I’m worried about falling off a bit.

Seems likely to be a Florida State commit

Would Walter Clayton had been an overpay if it took $2 million to get him? Genuine question, your logic seems to be if he’s a mid major it’s an overpay and yet Clayton just led his team to a championship so I’m trying to figure out if you’re actually consistent with the logic.
