WhiteyMcSpeed Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Alabama starting OT Elijah Pritchett is hitting the portal. Started 13 games this year with 2 years left. That would be a clear upgrade, no idea if we would even have a shot. WayneFleekHoosier and lillurk 2 Quote

He started this year but is looking at other $chools. What could be the reason? Wants to attend a more challenging academic $chool or perhaps it’s something e$se. lillurk, Napleshoosier and WayneFleekHoosier 2 1 Quote

WhiteyMcSpeed Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Ohio State could not block Michigan and Michalski couldn’t even get on the field. If Michalski is an upgrade, Pritchett would be too. WayneFleekHoosier 1 Quote

I’ll believe in any additions this staff makes until there’s a pattern that gives me reason not to. Lebowski, J34, MemphisHoosier and 3 others 6 Quote
MemphisHoosier Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Wyatt to UVA - I wonder if the staff viewed the final OL portal spot as a Wyatt vs. Benson decision? WayneFleekHoosier and lillurk 2 Quote

Magisterium Posted January 5 Posted January 5 The staff may not be done with OL recruitment but I think they still need a TE who’s a legitimate receiving threat and another pass-rusher Crimson and Cream and lillurk 2 Quote
WhiteyMcSpeed Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Did Wyatt get an offer or was he the backup plan if we missed on Benson and Michalski? lillurk 1 Quote

The most plugged in OSU fans are constantly mad about the state of their 1) OL coaching, 2) strength, nutrition, and conditioning, and 3) player development. Would really bet on notable improvement, current IUfb staff plus (formerly) high ranked players is a beautiful stew, maybe especially on the OL thebigweave, MemphisHoosier and Hovadipo 3 Quote

I guess he is revered and can clash with the DC. Kinda funny. Unfortunately, their team is clicking right now. lillurk 1 Quote

Time management and pass rush would be my guess for the others. CSP 1 Quote
