Idk if we got another one, but there’s a chance we don’t have any returning so taking 2 wouldn’t surprise me. The Quintero kid was listed as a RS Junior last year so I’m not sure if he’ll be back or not. 

No shot we're putting 2 punters on scholly. I could see us adding two, just not two in our 85.

Obviously not, but you can take on a walk-on transfer.

Off to a great start!
 

Looking forward to a couple of OL and a couple of DL commits.
Trenches, trenches, threnches.

Love to beat a Georgia out for a QB, but would love it even more when we start beating those teams for help along the lines

[Brass Cannon 24,803]

Definitely need to improve the oline. d-Line did good enough. Not great but good enough. 
 

But this remind me of that year the colts got Frank gore and Andre Johnson for Andrew Luck but neglected to protect him. We have to improve the line for these skill players to have a chance to use their skills 

But very happy with our offensive weapons. Big day for IU football

Indiana offers QB Jacob Bell.

 

Also, Cig added 7 transfers last Christmas Eve. It’s a Cig Miracle!

I can’t believe this is true.

The walk-on should be a Canadian who specializes in cold weather punting for late season ;)

With the rev share coming in at $16-18M or whatever to supplement NIL, I’d guess that’s what juicing these players deals so much.

We could be set at QB for a while now. 

Two years of Mendoza, who then passes the torch to ... Mendoza! 

 

Wonder if big bro gets #15? I assume a Christmas grecko roman wrestling match on the family room floor for it.

Love it. I hope he's got speed to burn.

We need a burner at the WR position to get separation. Most of our guys have typically been possession type receivers. 

LeBron Bond is that. He's a true FR though so maybe a year away

[Brass Cannon 24,803]

9-3 is the floor for me next year now. 10-2 is maintaining and 11-1 is huge progress

There ever going to be a day in the NIL era where the players salaries are public record? Would love to know how much Michigan’s Underwood is going to make. Don’t blame Portnoy for opening up his wallet after watching Michigan’s QBs this year, just have a hard time thinking he’d be an upgrade over a portal addition QB

No on NIL since those are private deals, but on the rev share side that's paid by the athletic depts and I assume journalists will FOIA the public schools and get the players' contracts.  So we'll know the rev share side of the player's compensation.

Agree, I like an experienced QB over a freshman.  It's just tough to learn the college game quickly -- of course some can do it, but it's tough.  Mendoza has two years of eligibility which is great.

ESPZYN, who has nailed every IU prediction to this point, stated this flip is coming soon.  

CCC and Crew are clearly feeling the holiday spirit!

I think that account has a midwest connection. He posts commitments to many schools but seems to concentrate on Indiana and Kentucky schools.

Flipping from where?

I'm pleased with the lack of IU portal entries after the end of the season. So far only Green and Jackson, who were recruited over. That's good for continuity and shows that most of the team has bought in and are happy.

Punters?
