IUFB Offseason/Transfer Portal News

[MemphisHoosier]

Kentucky LB Jared Casey will be on an OV starting tomorrow as well.  Originally from Louisville (Ballard HS) with a number of great offers out of HS.  Weaver put in Crystal Ball pick for IU today so I would assume CTA & staff have a solid shot here to help sure up this opportunity area.

Rumor is he already gave a verbal commitment to IU

Crazy to think we're still here in 2022 but yup, Btown is surrounded with a lot of this.

You do realize that you just did what you accuse those surrounding Bloomington of doing, right?

I think we got him too. No just need to find the QB

[Hovadipo]

I think we've gotten 2 commits in the last 24 hours based on Twitter. The 2 LBs would be nice. Any of the visiting QBs would be welcome additions too.

I'm especially up for the Clemson or Incarnate Word QB. The Missouri guy has obviously been the most successful of the bunch, but his skill set closely mirrors Tuttle.

I think the IW kid is probably the grand prize. Regardless of how people feel about DMc or Tuttle, adding any of these transfers to the QB room will make for a really competitive 3 horse race going into spring ball with a new OC. Having that clean slate and starting from scratch (from Bell's perspective) is a pretty good spot to be in imo. It wasn't that long ago that our options were Richard Lagow and freshman Peyton Ramsey at the same point lol.

No idea if the Incarnate Word kid is any good, but his video is 10 kinds of fun to watch. In lieu of IUFB being good, I’m ok with being entertaining.

Looks like he had a few decent offers but I would expect more than 13 offers for a 4-star.  The better ones consist of Cincy Wiscy and Oregon.

Is he a headcase? Bad student?  Late bloomer perhaps?  

Certainly not poo-pooing on the guy, just that the offer list and the ranking don’t jive, unless I’m miss-reading.

Missouri QB committed to IU

Transfer Mizzou QB Connor Bazelak has committed to IUFB

[Hovadipo]

And just like that, we have a (likely) full QB room. I like what we have in there, let's start plugging some other holes on offense.

[VPC]

Bazelak looks like a nice pick up... knowing its cliche but true, it all starts up front. We desperately need for the O-Line play to improve.

[Hovadipo]

Should still have 2 more commits locked and loaded.

Beyond QB's and LB's do we have any other position groups visiting this week? Asking for...no particular reason...

The OL room is full so you're beating a dead horse.

We can only hope the freshman help or the scheme is better otherwise we can bring in Tom Brady and still suck with our OL

That OL room couldn't block a dead horse.

False. There is talent in that room contrary to popular belief.
