[Lebowski 2,744]

If any of y'all know about offers already made please post them. I'm going through All-Conference players that hit the portal and trying to see if IUFB has made any offers.

I hope he doesn't blow up against IU when we play them in the Sugar Bowl.

I kinda wonder if our next QB just hit the portal... Veltkamp from WKU is in. Nothing other than a gut feeling.

[Lebowski 2,744]

He hasn't entered the portal but man if Mike Green out of Marshall hits the portal he's gonna make some bank.

He was productive, but turned it over 23 times.

Not sure where you're getting that number. Unless he has a ton of fumbles I'm not seeing, it's less than half of that.

I'm seeing 25 passing touchdowns, seven rushing touchdowns, ten interceptions, and one fumble for the 2024 season

Do I remember it correctly that WKU runs an air raid system?

[Lebowski 2,744]

In the Portal:
RB Ahmad Hardy - SBC Freshman of the Year & All-Sunbelt First Team followed by IU RB Coach Miller. 
LB Jaden Yates - All-Sunbelt First Team followed by Coach Haines.

I'm guessing the article I read had it wrong, said 23 turnovers (int/fumbles) in 750 snaps. I checked his sports reference page and only showed 10 picks.

Should've double checked first.

I wonder if they mixed that up with his Passing TD since he did have 23 of those.

No, it said he had 30 TD total which he did (23 passing/7 rushing).

The UK On3 page. I'm guessing they have the TOs wrong.

Helton has in the past, but game logs don’t really paint much of a picture one way or another. Veltkamp doesn’t have a Zappe-esque number of attempts per game and they don’t have any backs with a bunch of carries either so I’m not sure what they were doing. I watched 0 minutes and 0 seconds of WKU this year.

RB Ahmad Hardy

Will be my guy until further notice or he spurns me (yes, me personally) for another school. I love this kid.

Saw he has an Auburn and Ole Miss visits scheduled. How ridiculous is it that IU’s pitch against a school like Auburn is, “Come to Bloomington and play meaningful games.”

So do I. Going to be hard to pry him from Ole Miss but it’s sure worth a try.

Elijah Green to the portal. One of the first (maybe the first?) of our guys to enter this offseason.
