Waiting for a Mendoza and Hemby announcement today - would be a hell of a talent grab for the offense if we get both.

Hope so.  I’m spending way too much time refreshing the boards and checking X today.

Hot damn; that would be a home run, especially since Mendoza is our only top-tier option!

Not surprising that the staff had a plan given the Tayven portal and Pribula cancelled visit.

That'd be great. It also said Hemby to IU but haven't seen confirmation of that yet.

My favorite part about that account is that he’s more than happy to change gears when he hears something different and is transparent about it. He was full steam ahead on Mendoza to Miami a few weeks ago, heard some different talk a couple days later and said IU has a shot (along with others), and now is calling the commitment. No BS, just acknowledges that recruiting is fluid and keeps info flowing.

When do we expect to start hearing about the weekend visits?  Portal news seems slower this year and it has me nervous, LOL.

Hemby has signed with Indiana

There's one. Now let's get Mendoza.

As much as I loved Lawton and The Judge, 2025’s backfield - ON PAPER - is absolutely filthy. Bring in Fernando and let’s get real weird with it. 

The real challenge will be upgrading on-paper talent in this way in the trenches. Because we all saw that’s the difference.

Thamel is reporting on it- Hemby is done.  I really like what Coach Miller has done with the RB room, sooo much talent.

The DL is off to a good start. The OL may take a bit

Still need an edge or two.. especially if Kamara goes pro. 

I love the kid from JMU.

Hemby, Beebe, and Kaelon Black.  That's a solid 1-3.

After watching the ND game, I think we have to bulk up both lines to really compete with the big boys.

Absolutely, and another year for Khobie Martin (who showed some flashes in limited action) and an intriguing true FR in Cuono - a lot to like for this season and moving forward.

I think Black is a great back and will surprise some next year.  

[Stuhoo]

Hemby and Beebe have big play ability unlike any player our offense had this past season.
