IUFB 2024/25 Portalstravaganza

[Hoosierfan2017 21,423]

What an insane difference a year can make. From 9 wins in three years to 11-2, a playoff berth, and a quarterback recruiting win over Georgia. Build Coach Cig his statue already! 

[OKHOOSIER 2,313]

Mendoza is a massive get. Really excited to see the Cignetti effect in a full recruiting cycle.

Mikey Matthews.  Two years eligibility left.  Played at Utah one year and Cal the next.  Smallish, water bug type of receiver (5'9", 180 pounds).  Last year caught 32 passes for 272 yards.  Freshman year at Utah caught 27 passes for 261 yards.  Mostly used on quick passes near the line.

So a Ke’Shawn Williams type? I can see that.

The Cal TE maybe 

Endries? That wouldn't be a bad get, 56 catches for 623 yards.

And his blockers will henceforth be known as?

The Mendoza Line. 

(if you don’t get it, you’re not old like me)

Our Hoosier buddy gets it ... and he's only 31 ...

Gotta portal first, but if he gets in at this point, I'd really like our chances.

Not that anyone I saw was upset about missing on Lewis (IU fans not upset about missing on a 5* QB!? Whaaaa...) but this should make them feel better if they were. I know I'd take Mendoza over him. Proven college player.

Yeah, I hadn't seen anything of him being in the portal. Just wasn't sure it was him referenced.

Yeah, no offense to “JuJu,” but a very generous 6’0, 185 pound 18 year old is not what the doctor ordered for IU’s Big 10 slate. I’m rolling with the 6’5, 230 pound guy with 20 college starts at a P4 program under his belt. Plus the odds of him staying at one school for his college career are 0% on the high end.

1,000 yards receiving his first 2 years in college. 

[Hoosierfan1901 6,301]

Makai Jackson is next, 800 receiving yards and 5 TDs

[tyappleg 3,130]

Another one. 

[monskisprodigy 1,923]

Football School, Football School! 

[FootballSchool 82]

App State WR transfer Makai Jackson is expected to transfer to Indiana, 

[LamarCheeks 18,943]

We could be set at QB for a while now. 

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

[MemphisHoosier 2,199]

I'm a big fan of Jackson, fits the G5 stud mold to a 't' - still need 2-3 more solid WR's before I would feel good about the room.

[MemphisHoosier 2,199]

Jackson is official - BOOM.
