Just asking: Do we really need threads for each and every transfer -- or can we just keep that info here? 

If we create separate threads for every football player that transfers in -- that's gonna be a LOT of threads. 

Kinda makes it difficult to find other threads -- at least for a old, forgetful guy like myself.  Right now, when I open BTB -- pretty much all I see are football transfer threads. 

There is the search option at the top that is helpful if looking for something specific.

This thread is likely to remain the one that gets the most action unless posters having something to say specific to one of the commits.

Maybe we can get a sub-sub forum called Lebowski's Recruit and Transfer Threads :)

How are we on linebackers? I know we've got Aiden, but are we solid on the others?

Here's a scholarship chart breakdown. We currently have 7 total on the roster. Aside from Fisher, I recall Jones and Hardy getting a little more playing time than others. Hardy has the "better stats" (whatever that means), probably because he plays Mike. Jones plays Will. No clue on which position Fisher plays (he played Will, might move him to Mike) in 2025. 

Senior
Aiden Fisher

Juniors
RS Kaiden Turner
RS Isaiah Jones

Sophomore
RS Rolijah Hardy

Freshman
RS Quentin Clark
Jamari Farmer
Paul Nelson

its official on Ryland Gandys Twitter.

 

I would also like to note that TE Donovan Green liked my tweet saying that he was a future Hoosier!

Lebowski mostly broke it down, but any time I get a chance I like to point out that Rolijah Hardy is gonna be a friggin’ animal. There weren’t many snaps to go around this year, but he took advantage of what he got.

I. Jones and Ro Hardy have gotta be the reason we aren't pursuing linebackers.

IU football has been the laughingstock of D-1 football forever.

Recognizing kids individually who commit to playing here should be encouraged. 
 

We are not an elite where getting kids to play here is a privilege for them. 
 

Thanks Big L for shining a light on each of these guys

I don't want to derail the thread, but the lack of development from Kaden Turner is one of my big mysteries from the '24 season.  I was a big fan coming out of HS and his first few seasons in B'ton, I thought he was primed to really pop, but he rarely saw the field and was buried on the 2-deep.

Also visited UNC, Michigan, and Ole Miss.  Nice group to beat out.

No kidding. I’ve been waiting for him to show up for what feels like years.

This is some very sound reasoning.

My apologies. 

These are committed players (16 total so far) just added. I am treating transfers like I treat high school recruits (roughly 20 to 25 a year). This is the recruiting forum. With the year IUFB had I'm under the assumption this will start to get way more traffic than the past. More than likely new traffic as well. Also, I really don't contribute to IUBB all that much, I'm pretty much here for the football (even when we sucked). If folks don't want me to add it, I won't. Just thought I was doing us IUFB folk a solid here.
 

I like it.
