So Koziol replaces Tyler Warren at Penn State?

He could sure try. Warren is an F-350 with hands and an angry driver behind the wheel though.

are we attractive to TEs? Horton didn't have many catches. 

I don't think that mattered to him much..... If a good TE can/likes to block in addition to catching passes he is valuable. He was responsible for ALOT of blocking that produced consistant, positive yards and for various players and extended yards for Rourke. He was an absolute stud in more ways than one.

zzzzzzzz

lets goooooo---- need some action!!!

TE Klare, one of Purdump’s very few players with a pulse, has reached portalization.

Remember that scene in We are Marshall where The coach goes around and all he can offer to recruits is playing time. 
 

That’s basically going to be Purdues next coach

The NIL coffers for the new staff will be telling, given Walters's feedback...it would take a significant pivot to change course...

Apparently MIkai Gbayor has scheduled a visit to IU. Stats aren’t eye popping but he was a starter. Maybe a depth piece or CCC sees something we don’t. 0 star transfer.

The stars on transfers by 247 aren't usually up to date and aren't kept in some cases if the transfer isn't a high level one.  He was fourth on Nebraska in tackles.

Gbayor was a high 3-star coming out with offers from Bama, Michigan, LSU, and a bunch of others.

He'd be a fit.  51 catches, 685 yards last year.  Two years of eligibility left.

The LB room won't be lacking talent next year with Fisher, Jones, and Hardy.  I like the approach by the staff of bringing in another experienced guy with multiple years of eligibility left (the latter seems to be a commonality with most names connected to CCC this portal season thus far.)

I LOVE Hardy. That kid is going to be a monster.

We’re in the final four for Phoenix Jackson, LB from Fresno State. Elite coverage LB with, I believe, 1 year of eligibility left.

Him and Fisher could be the best LB duo in the CFB!

Tulane QB Darian Mensah enters the portal. Given his talent combined with 3 years of eligibility I imagine he’ll be as in demand as anyone. 

[steubenhoosier 869]

The portal officially opens today.

Lots of names being entered. some P4 guys we might have interest in, especially on the O-line.

Remember (older folks) when we were kids and the Christmas catalogues started arriving by mail?  This is kind of how I feel about this thread.  Optimism (new for IU football fans), anticipation, hope.  Good times.

[JSHoosier 20,136]

I'd love to see us get involved with Blomstrom. Productive and versatile at the FCS level.

*4 from Indiana. Not Cigs style preferring production over potential, but???

BREAKING: Georgia True Freshman WR Nitro Tuggle plans to enter the Transfer Portal, he tells @on3sports

The 6’2 195 WR appeared in 6 games this season for the Bulldogs 

Will have 3 years of eligibility remaining

Time for an NFL style quick signing. Notre Dame and IU should both be in the market for this kid
