Burrus isn't/wasn't an edge. 

He played both DE and 3 technique. And he's considered an EDGE in the portal.

You asked if Wyatt was a replacement for Burris. They don't play the same position. 

Wyatt is Kamara's replacement, as Kamara replaces Carr. 

Although, Kamara lines up everywhere and stunts even more.

this kid is probably the main reason for Burris transferring, TBH

Wha?!!?

A true freshman that is coming in as the 1,300+ composite ranked recruit? That would be a hell of a revelation.

Tell me more.

Composite rating? I don't look at those. There is simply zero chance you can put together a decent rankings list of HS football players. They do stupid **** like rank QBs, RBs, and WRs high. 

The kid is 6'4 290lbs now and was on campus to start spring semester, along with Calhoun (who needs weight).... plus Hall arrives in June. 

Then we have two DTs transfer AFTER spring ball... reading the tea leaves, but I doubt it's a coincidence.

Garcia's OVs-- Wisconsin, Indiana, Purdue, Louisville, and had just been offered by Georgia a month before he committed to IU.

Offer lists are 100% more indicative than ranking. But a true freshman as a top four DT on a ranked P5 team would still be a revelation. RB or WR? Sure- that is easier to see happening than a offensive or defensive lineman.

No, it wouldn't. DTs play all the time. If your body is right, you're good to go. What FR RBs and WR play? Other than the top of the top? 

And, again, why would we have two vet DTs--- one being Burris who played--- leave AFTER spring ball if this weren't the case? makes no sense. The only logical reason.... the FR are good.

Nail on the head!! And Garcia is ALL FREAKIN IN on IUFB. Last year he was extremely active on social media and you can just tell he's all about team ball. I really hope it works out for him. I like his passion a lot.

With Kamara moving to the STUD position replacing Carr, guessing the two new transfers (Daley and Wyatt) will compete to fill Kamara's vacancy on the other side of the line. Also think Landino moves inside. Like Garcia a lot and think he will get some snaps early, but guess he preserves a redshirt unless there is an injury. Staff was working hard to add the Ohio DT who ended up at Maryland so they may not be done.

Big day for CCC and Crew, the program received a commit from their third '26 recruit in '3* DT Rodney White.  Decent offer list for the Maryland DT, most recently from the likes of Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech, Pitt, and a host of mid's.

Seeing LB Jamari Farmar and DE Ta'Derius Collins have entered the portal.  I'm guessing Collins's move is in response to the recent portal additions.  I am guessing there is more to the Farmar story as he came on campus in January.

Class of'26 3* Decatur Central CB Kasmir Hicks announced his commitment to Indiana this morning, 4/25.  This is a big one, the staff has worked hard to get the upper echelon of in-state recruits and Hicks is the byproduct of these efforts.  Separately, it's nice to see the CCC & crew go head-to-head with Wisconsin, Louisville, Michigan St., Vandy, etc. to pull the commitment.  Lots to like here in the immediate and long-term future.
