Hovadipo Posted October 4, 2021 Posted October 4, 2021 He was Hart’s guy. Thought he would have a breakout year coming off how he ended last season, but he had 2 walk-ons getting snaps that should’ve, in theory, been going to him so something wasn’t clicking between he and McCullough. Next. Quote

cthomas Posted October 4, 2021 Posted October 4, 2021 Not sure what to make of this. Are there some internal problems on this team or is this just the nature of the new landscape with the portal. Quote

A whole heap of kids not getting the carries/minutes/love/attention they want enter the portal and hope for the best (which is very rarely better than they have it now). I wouldn’t look much further into it than that. Stuhoo, American HoosierX and Class of '66 Old Fart 2 1 Quote
Stuhoo Posted October 4, 2021 Posted October 4, 2021 I’m wondering if losing so many carries to Davion Ervin-Poindexter, a walk-on, has been an ego blow that has contributed to both James and Baldwin leaving. Quote

Poindexter has only had 8 carries in four games and I think three of those came in garbage time against Idaho. The truth is that our starter (Carr) would be best suited to be a situational back like he was at USC and the rest of our backs would be roster fillers at other Big Ten schools. And anyone we have is likely eventually going to be behind Gi'Bran Payne on the depth chart when he comes in. Payne was a four star back who had offers to Notre Dame, Florida, and Tennessee. Quote
VPC Posted October 11, 2021 Posted October 11, 2021 I had high hopes for him. His fumbles hurt his playing time this year (and hurt the team) but I expected him to earn that trust back. I am disappointed with his departure mid-season. That's him giving up on his team mates, and I have an issue with that. I suspect there is more going on behind the scenes, but regardless, it's him bailing out in tough times. Very disappointing. Quote
ap2345 Posted October 11, 2021 Author Posted October 11, 2021 RB depth is getting very thin. Ellis is out for the year too Quote
Loaded Chicken Sandwich Posted October 11, 2021 Posted October 11, 2021 That’s not helpful at all. But it would definitely help if we had a different system for the running game and an offensive line at all. I feel bad for our backs. Quote
Stuhoo Posted October 11, 2021 Posted October 11, 2021 Charlie Spegal time? WayneFleekHoosier, ap2345, JMett94 and 2 others 5 Quote
