Loving this. Some unexpected, optimistic momentum heading into next season. 

I’m assuming he’ll be able to get enrolled and be here for spring ball? Very important imo. 

I assume Tuesday he will be in classes in Bloomington.

So TJD stays and shares NIL with his brother next year?

He’d be the expected starter at this point, right? Especially given Williams’s recovery timeline?

Another example of due diligence early paying dividends later on. Building/maintaining that relationship throughout high school - even when it was clear he wasn’t coming - helped him land here.

I’d think so. I guess another scenario would be bringing in a grad transfer to give him a QB competition and help bring him along for a year? He’s still pretty young. I think they need another older guy for depth regardless because that’s a really young room.

I'm sure there will be an arrant pass landing in Bloomington at some point.

I wonder how Falcons fans feel about that?  

[Hovadipo 55,253]

Luke Wiginton transferred to Ball State. 

[MemphisHoosier 2,057]

Richard Thomas to Florida Atlantic, per his Twitter.

I believe that leaves five scholarship players from last season in the portal - Simmons, Swinton, Sio, Randy Holtz, and Lanier.

Other than losing McCullough, it looks like we’re bringing in more talent than we’re losing.

I’d say Dasan and Barner will be the two departures we really feel. Need Bomba and Steinfeldt to step up now. Mostly just depth pieces other than that. QB too of course, but we’ll hopefully feel that for different reasons lol.

Hopefully that translates to 6+ wins...

Hopefully we do better next season but as always we under perform.
