The number of transfers at IU is not unusual. It just sucks because we don't have as much depth as some of the bigger programs. I was not surprised by Gest's or Ronnie's decision but I'm definitely puzzled by Sampson's. He was looking at an extended role this upcoming season with the possibility of being the lead back the following year.

The Locksley regime is, was, will always be a s**tshow. The longer they keep him, the better for us.

How about the Spegal kid from New Pal?

He's got an opportunity, now let's see if his preparation allows him to step in and meet the needs of the team.  Best of luck to him.

Tim Baldwin y'all. 

Already on campus, 6'0", 210, had a strong offer list out of hs.

He was committed to UM for awhile.

So our rb rotation will likely be: Scott, Baldwin, Lloyd.

That'll be just fine.

We still need to add another. That kid from Arkansas would be perfect, experienced too.

Definitely need one more and potentially a position change to add another for emergencies if Speigal can’t keep up. When is the last time IU didn’t have an injured RB during the season? Can’t roll with just 3 guys.  Ironically OSU is finding themselves in a potentially even more dire situation. Hopefully the kid from Arkansas doesn’t get offered by them and we can land him

David Ellis started to be used in the backfield as the rotation was hit by injury late last season. I’d look for him to be there a fair amount during spring.

He was the first guy I thought of as a potential position change but I assume that would require the WR corp (esp Whop) to stay healthy and Rashawn Williams ability to start day one unless there’s a RS Freshman whos made strides. Da’Shaun Brown immediately comes to mind along with Jordan Jakes.

Keep an eye on Jacolby Hewitt along those lines if he comes back healthy from a torn ACL. Ellis will likely be a guy that moves around a lot just to get him the ball a little like how Taylor was used before he moved to defense.

i don't think we had too much depth at rb. just because you a half dozen rb's doesn't mean depth. they have to have better than average talent. only scott proved that. sampson may have but couldn't gain any traction until scott went down late. he only had one decent game. walker was terrible, along the lines of majette or devonte williams (i think that's his name). never saw any of those 3 ever break a tackle or juke a defender. not one time. gest? meh. we need an upgrade of overall talent at the position 

No argument from me.  Who knows why some of the players weren't able to perform on the football field.  

I was talking in terms of a 'Depth Chart' meaning there's players behind the starters.  That doesn't mean, as you have clearly indicated here that they're productive on the field.  It just means, the roster has backups to fill a spot should a spot need filled.  IU now has some holes to fill the depth chart.

Sampson is back. That will help.

Well that is a little random...still wondering what made him put his name in the portal? and what made him change his mind?

[Crimson and Cream 5,878]

That was what, one day?
