Whatever the yardage it shows he isn't a statue in the pocket 

No he’s not. OS is my alma mater so I try to keep track of both sports. Just saying that he posted those numbers with a half way decent OL. No knock against him just a knock against our OL.

You’re the Oregon State fan right? Any insight into him?

 

(sorry if I have you confused, I know we have an OSU fan here somewhere)

 

Lol whoops just saw your post above. Disregard!

You found me, lol. Yes I’m an alum had to find a school for an ag degree as far away from PU as possible.

The Stanford kid was a backup on a 3-9 team. The Clemson kid had 7 catches for 70 yards in 13 games this season. 9 catches for 66 yards in 8 games in 2021. If that’s our “flat-out home run pickup,” yikes.. And the Wake Forest kid had 516 yards on 4.0 yards per carry. Those are Shaun Shivers numbers. We’re rearranging chairs on the Titanic and still have no one to play QB next year. 

If QB can’t get them the ball does it matter? Not sure our receivers were terrible last year but guys get tired of the QB laying on the ground before half their route is run.

Assuming Camper is healthy, we added a major (albeit unproven so far) talent, and a guy with major production (albeit in FCS). I’m not worried at all about our WR room, and they have a damn good position coach in there too. Like everyone else has said, just need someone that can get them the ball. If they figure that out, I think the offense will have a better shot at producing with the addition of Bostad. 

Edit: it isn’t lost on me that there is a lot of assuming and if’s heading into 2023 lol. Our only certainty is uncertainty at the moment.

Does Simmons have any eligibility left. Got Camper, McCulley and Cooper and the two transfers so who else do we have left

Was hoping to see some OL transfers before positional players. The staff has to realize how bad they have been protecting the QB like what seems forever! By the excellent memory on the OS thing, lol.

Trying to think of guys who transferred in from higher profile programs under Allen and had a major impact offensively. Drawing a blank.

I think he has another year, but haven’t seen if he’s using it. Those 4 you listed plus even one of the transfers working out is already a solid group. Waiting for Jaquez Smith to break out as he was very highly touted. I like the big Greenlow kid we got from California, but he’ll just be a freshman. I thought Andison Coby was a solid depth guy last year too.

Henderson was pretty good last year

Don’t think this is going to turn next season around! Before injury this season he threw 7 TDs and 9 Ints with 939 yds. Last season he was 19/10 for 2,677 yds. He has 508 career rushing yards. And this was behind a fairly decent OL. 

So is he kinda a Peyton Ramsey skill set?

You could say similar with a little stronger arm and faster on his feet. Overall their stats were similar. There are a few good videos of Nolan on the ESPN app.

Saw we got another commitment from Lannel Carr DL from WVU

[Hovadipo]

Staff loved Carr coming out of HS. Finally got their guy.

Linder. 

DJ Matthews. 

I had no problem with Shivers. 

[Hovadipo]

Another one.

I guess it really shouldn’t shock me all that much but the social media/media reactions to the new editions has blown me away. It’s almost beyond being gullible. Seriously, yes the additions could prove to be nice but how has there been not any attention given to our biggest priority (not qb). 
 

I’ve seen Allen digging in his bag of tricks, IU football is back, No need to apologize for getting off….we welcome you back on the #IUFB train.

Christ will this fan base ever learn and stop falling for the hype!

Why do you need to try to dampen some enthusiasm in the program.  We have no idea one way or the other if this class will be different than the past year's. It is the off season so let people have some joy if they like what they see. When the season starts and these players don't work out then there is plenty of time to tell people told you so.
