IUFB 2024/25 Portalstravaganza

[AKHoosier 7,709]

Wow what a surprise. 

Huge get!

[rcbowla 8,261]

Huge get. OL are an absolute premium in the portal. Hell yes

[JSHoosier 22,211]

I wanted to get one of those OL from ND, excellent news.

I'm doubtful but if Spindler isn't a  solid commit maybe Coogan can get in his ear.

Spindler isn’t committed, the registered student stuff wasn’t an accurate sign.  He is still visiting schools.  He seems like a long shot for us though.  That’s okay.

Obviously in reference to Rocco Spindler.......if IU ends up getting him, that's four high quality OL in the portal that have gotten.

I was told we aren't going to pay him what he asked for.  But if nobody else does either, I suppose his asking price could come down.

Spindler shut down visits. Sounds like decision is imminent

CB JoJo Johnson to Bowling Green 

[Class of '66 Old Fart 90,678]

Spindler committed to Nebraska.

Is this official?  Zyn is reporting a last minute $1M offer from UVA for Spindler.

Recently? As in today? I remember seeing that a few days ago but see articles from earlier today saying he's closing in on a decision.

Zyn is backtracking now.

Followed closely by:

It was so widely reported that he did commit to Nebraska though. I wonder if he signed? That would make this very interesting.

[Banksyrules 5,342]

1 million for OL would be fine with me. Just so much is dependent if a QB or running back have enough time to move or throw.

I’m confused by the Pat Coogan reference.

Yeah, Coogan’s in the boat. Not sure if Zyn just got confused or what. 

Edit: that tweet is from 1/28, so before Coogan committed. We’re good lol.

That was from  back before Coogan committed, soon after Spindler's  Nebraska visit. Jan 28.

As scarce as OL is in CFB right now and with the rev share adding $15M to team payrolls this season, $1M doesn't seem crazy for a 13 game starter on last season's runner-up team.
