Nate knows his stuff too, especially with QBs. Nothing is gospel when it comes to prospect scouting, but I really respect his opinion. 

Wow

 it only does he project Mendoza as the 4th overall pick but also as the first QB picked!!

That would be awesome for the program/perception/image etc and add yet another “look what I do with QB’s” aspect to Cigs arsenal.

I got this today for helping with the housing of some freshman students.

Penix is the starter for week 1. He has led the #1's at every practice since the scrimmage on Saturday. They might not announce it till next week but he's the guy.

Game week!!!! How tired are you hearing from your closest friends (some of them fans of IU sports) that IUFB was kind of a fluke last year and that this year will only be a 5 or 6 win season? Thi

Cal WR Jonathan Brady transferring to IU. Caught 74 for 1010 yds and 7 td’s from Mendoza over the past 2 seasons. Based on size(5’10” and 180) and yards per catch I assume he’s a slot guy.  1 year left. 

We really needed a slot guy after our UM transfer’s ACL tear.

So good on us!

Love it.

1. We beat out Tennessee and Miami for him.  We continue to level up the recruiting battles we are winning.

2. Obviously it's nice he already has the connection/chemistry with Fernando.

Yes.  To be a trusted destination for QBs and other players with NFL aspirations would be amazing.  And really it's already happening -- Miami and Georgia (and Mizzou among others) were recruiting Fernando hard.  While our NIL/rev share has improved, those two schools can offer more than us.  Yet, he chose the emerging superpower in Bloomington.  

The progress IUFB has made in 18 months is just incredible.  It was only about 18 months ago we were rock bottom taking 4OT's to beat Akron at home.

Same team, except my watching IU football started in the 80s. Aside from the Joe Huff days, last year's team was the most fundamental football team I've seen wear the Cream and Crimson. And we're basically getting the same coaching staff from last year that will be coaching upgraded players. This year we'll probably get a lot more closer games. There's 4 (Illini, at Iowa, at PSU, at Ducks) games on the schedule that will be dawg fights. And the cat's out of the bag, there's no chance a school is ever going to overlook IUFB anymore. We'll be in some battles this season for sure.

I played football with Joe Huff. He was/is a standup guy. He was a beast and in my opinion was one of the best to come out of Castle HS back on the 82 Indiana State Champion team

PWO - four year starter that played in 3 of IUFB's 11 total bowl games. Aside from last year, his Jr and Sr year was probably the most fundamental football teams I ever watched. Some pretty solid years from 86 to 93.

man.. that's something. And Haines is paid very well too, and I'm sure Shanahan's contract is very competitive.

This is oddly one thing that IUFB was ponying up for even before the Cig hire. They paid Ballou and Rhea handsomely and when they took off for Bama, went out and grabbed Wellman who was far from cheap. Hopefully we don't have to replace Owings for a long time.

Good interview with Greg McElroy who knows Cig since they were at Bama together.  Touches on recruiting (some committed just not announced yet) and thoughts on next year’s team.

One stand out funny quote that also is indicative of IUFB culture: "I'm not worried about keeping them happy, they have to keep me happy."
