Doesn't make sense to me especially because, I believe, both schools agree to play on Friday...not a TV decision. Just weird. Quote

IUFootballHappyHappyJoyJoy Posted June 5, 2023 Posted June 5, 2023 Man, the one cupcake game on the schedule and it pisses off the IHSAA fans. Meanwhile, I gotta ask, when did Tom Allen give up as a development coach and just go whole hog on the transfer portal? Quote

(Used to keep hope burning) Lateral moves on talent level does not produce more wins. Just different names with near same outcomes. IU football fans will know in 3 to 5 months….boy how times fly by.

Alford Bailey Posted June 5, 2023 Posted June 5, 2023 I definitely wouldn’t miss a HS football game to go watch IU football. Especially if the HS team was good and or my kid played. cthomas, Class of '66 Old Fart and Lebowski 3 Quote

I’m not sure we’ve even made a lateral move in talent. Must use the portal to fill spots. Quote

Panic set in after 2021 and he's been throwing crap at the wall hoping it sticks ever since. I also, as the eternal optimist, hope something sticks soon. He doesn't have the leash (or the capability......."SQUIRREL!") to run a Ferentz-style development program. Quote

Keep in mind a lot of coaches in the IHSAA played football at IU and ISU. And they coach/coached a lot of kids that are on both rosters. They'd like to make the trip to not only see their alma mater but also the kid(s) they coached in high school. Give up is probably not the word I would use but to each their own. The portal goes both ways and losing players (i.e. Dasan McCullough) to the portal is what it is. Overall, I believe CTA actually came out ahead with the portal this year and some of them are young and will need to be developed. But that's just my opinion. Quote

You're confused if you don't think the portal has been a substantial net gain for us over the past 4-5 years. We've lost essentially no one and have ended up with some damn good ones.

Our net gains from the portal need to translate to real wins soon if we're ditching the development thing he used to talk about though. I like our portal class this year, so as always I'm finding 6-7 wins on the schedule. Quote
CSP Posted June 6, 2023 Posted June 6, 2023 @Alford Bailey care to explain your reaction? or are you confused too? Quote

CSP Posted June 6, 2023 Posted June 6, 2023 Cam Camper, DJ Matthews, Ryder Anderson, Shivers, Henderson, Handy (sigh).... and I haven't even scratched the surface about how good the portal has been to us... and there have been multiple articles detailing the guys we "lost"... very few ended up at other Power 5s. But, sorry, I'm not following the doom and gloom like I'm supposed to. lol my bad. mamasa 1 Quote
