McCulley to Michigan. Even less reason to root for him now. 

IIRC that is where he almost went last time he entered the portal so I can't say I'm surprised.

Such a talent. Scary situation. Wish it would have worked with him.

What's the scary situation? That he's going to Michigan or something else?

Yep I remember it the same way. The shot he took after the OSU game was lame. Perfect fit for the place he’s going.

He’s super talented.  Get him with a good QB and it’s almost an impossible cover.

Just added:

Alex Wollschlaeger, Offensive Lineman - Bowling Green: Wollschlaeger is an experienced, three year starter at Bowling Green along the Falcons' offensive front. Throughout his time at Bowling Green, Wollschlaeger started pretty much exclusively at right tackle. This past season, he was a first team All-MAC selection, just a year after being named third team All-MAC. Wollschlaeger has one year of eligibility remaining. Per source, Wollschlaeger is expected to visit Indiana on Friday, Dec. 13.

247 has him as a 4* transfer and #2 OL (33 overall) in the portal

It'd be nice to hear about landing a good QB. Especially after the dinosaur egg that was laid last night.

Like, say, a Kurtis Rourke?

You forgot QB, and not the one partially responsible for last night's debacle.

Rivals put their portal tracker behind a pay wall. Here is another from TDH:

This one mentions Duce Robinson, USC WR that I haven't seen on other lists:

There was the Wollschlaeger visit at OL

Apparently Mendoza is visiting UCLA this weekend and has a real chance.  It is strange that Sunseri is still on the staff while actively recruiting against us for possibly the most important player of the portal season. I’m not a fan of it.

I’d be curious if he’s even talking to Mendoza? We certainly aren’t going to let him talk to him and it’s not like he can be at that visit.  
 

Maybe they can talk on the phone but details will be scant and if the kid asks why they aren’t meeting in person “oh well IU is playing in the playoffs and I can’t get away”. 

[RaceToTheTop]

Honestly, regardless of his brother, I don't Alberto Mendoza ever being the starting quarterback at IU.  My opinion is that even if nobody else is brought in, he will be third on the depth chart behind Jackson and Cherry in some order.

Yeah dude needs to just go off and join his new 5-7 UCLA Bruins already. Don’t take another job and then stick around at your old job through the end of the season.

I don’t think it’s that serious. I applaud Tino for sticking with us through CFP

If Mendoza chooses UCLA over us it won’t be because of a couple phone calls he has with Sunsieri

As long as he and cig have been together I don’t see him doing anything shady behind cigs back. Playing out at cal I’m wouldn’t have been surprised to have seen a usc offer and visit as well

The timing and marketing of the Sunseri Hire wasn’t ideal. Kind of a bad look, really. But with the portal, there were no options.
