Ranking transfers is such a daunting task that it probably isn't worth doing. But this one was not that hard lol.

I was concerned about his size. LOL! Foolish me.

Going back through 247's rankings for our transfer guys last year is LAUGHABLE.

 

Sarratt was the 33rd ranked WR

Jailin Walker 44th ranked LB

Fisher 65th ranked LB

CJ West 31st ranked DT

Carpenter 36th ranked DT

Tucker 95th ranked DT

Kamara 100th ranked DT

Ponds 84th ranked corner 

Asburdy 38th ranked S

Terry Jones 80th ranked S

Wedig 48th ranked OT

Rourke 22nd ranked QB 

You forgot these beauties of analysis: looks as though we picked up:

• The 61st best transfer TE, Zach Horton,
• The 68th and 91st best transfer RBs, Justice Ellison and Ty Son Lawton, and
• The 92nd and 114th best transfer WRs; Myles Price and Keshawn Williams.

Lol

Ellison in 1 season has become probably an all-time top 10 IUFB player for me. Love that kid.

I'm convinced his listed size is wrong. He plays and looks so much bigger than 6'1 265.

He's gonna play on Sunday. He may fill in the last spot on my future fantasy football teams as a sentimental choice.

Today's signees from The Daily Hoosier:  https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-football-announces-21-class-of-2025-signees/

 

Tweets I saw earlier today from Coach Cig's signing day press conference -

Cignetti asked if he has an idea of how big this portal class can be when all is said and done. Smiles. "Yea, I do."

Curt Cignetti says Indiana will definitely pursue a QB in the portal this offseason.  Cignetti asks about QB. Says IU likes Tyler Cherry and Alberto Mendoza, didn't feel a need for a freshman QB. Will "definitely sign a quarterback out of the portal."

Fourteen (14) of Indiana's 21 signees today will enroll early and be here next month. Seven more will arrive in the summer.

I'm trying not to read too much into the QB comment, but I am surprised Jackson wasn't mentioned...

I wouldn't too much into it. I didn't. I think he was asked why they didn't pursue a QB for this year's signees? I could be wrong.

They were discussing why they didn't add a FR in this class.

I think the "definitely" part of the statement says everything we need to know. CCC obviously doesn't think what we need at qb is already on the roster. And, I might add, replacing Rourke won't be an easy task.

I think they'll just bring in someone to compete with TJ and the chips fall where they may.

And as well as TJ has played this season, you know Rourke had to bring it in the spring to totally beat him out during those practices.

I may be remembering incorrectly or possibly CCC was being coy and not giving out more info than he needed to but didn't CCC pretty much say that neither Rourke or TJ had really separated themselves from the other in the spring and preseason practices? I do remember he didn't announce a starter until close to the first game.

Well Rourke was QB1 in the spring game. 

He stated in the spring practices, "Well, I am not going to tell you about the quarterback rotation. From here on out I might not be very open about it. I am impressed with [Kurtis] Rourke's progress, let's just say that."

"He just looks like [he is more comfortable]. The last two practices he has been functioning and looking like a high-level quarterback. "

 

Then Rourke got a full interview after the spring game in the IndyStar. 

[CSP]

Ultimately-- my point... the competition created 1. 2nd Team All B1G QB 2. A DAMN good backup

I recall that to.  But practice and game are different. I don’t like the guy but Tom Brady consistently got beat out for a starting spot yet whenever he got PT dude delivered results
