This surprises me, Livingstone I am assuming we pursue if Cooper does depart? 
 

Hard to imagine he’d want to be here as WR #4

Livingstone probably decides well before Cooper so no, I don't think they're connected that much

And the best, most willing blocking WR I have ever seen at IU.

No block no rock baby.

Carter Smith feels like a more likely returnee than Coop. Though both should go if they’re gonna get drafted by the 4th round

I hate doing this before the end of the season, but I think these players will have draft decisions to make: Cooper, Smith, Tucker, Ponds, Ferrell 

I'll be kind of surprised if Smith and Ponds are back. Maybe even Cooper.

Any updates on Gilliam or Long?

In a way it makes sense. He'd be a late/taxi squad add in the NFL at about $225k, and would make quite a bit more at IU while having a ton more fun and finishing his degree. Would be an NIL-stay in school best case scenario.

Worth noting; if we have Marsh, Becker, Cooper, and Livingstone (Wow), it's not unlikely that Morris, Bond, and/or Chandler would be portaling.

I think you are severely understating Cooper’a draft prospects right now, decent chance he’d be a day 2 pick or maybe early day 3 (rounds 3-4), at which point he’d be making around $1-1.5 million.

For me, I think we get Tucker and Ferrell back, I’d imagine Cooper/Smith/Ponds are all gone though.

Sure would like to see us pick up an OL if Smith goes (I’d like an additional stud OL even if Smith stays).

That being said…..if Cig says we don’t need any OL at all, because we are going to start a QB, RB and 9 receivers, I would reply “In Cig I trust”.

Best sack dance in the nation

Cracks me up every time.

Heard a couple of things I liked yesterday.

1) Joel Klatt said that IU/Mendoza have run the highest percentage of rpo’s in the nation.  The team with the second highest percentage of rpo plays? TCU/Hoover !! Me likee. Even though Cig has shown that he can adapt the system to the QB there will be little need to adapt next year as Hoover should fit into the current system like a glove.

2) Jim Coyle knows Hoover from the first recruitment and he mentioned telling Hoover he would like him to be on his show.  Hoovers response was that he would go on the show but not until IU’s season was over.  Perfect answer/move by Hoover.

Steve Wiltfong reports IU, Oregon and Missouri in the hunt for Penn State CB A. J. Harris with Oregon the favorite.

This might have already been discussed but O$U's Mylan Graham is in the portal. He's out of New Haven, IN and IUFB offered him last year. 

Also, does anyone know whatever happened to Kiyaunta Goodwin? He was a 2022 UK commit that transferred to Florida but entered the portal again in 23.

Goodwin sucked, was lazy... not a Cignetti guy even at that time. Went to 2 or 3 different HSs... that kind of stuff. I don't believe he's playing college football. 

Looked like Tarzan, played like Jane.

Jeremiah Smith, Innes, and Carnell Tate all posted heartbroken emojis over Mylan Graham. To me that's a very good sign that he can be a kid that improves.

I know we backed off after we landed 2 others at S, but Braden Awls to Iowa St.
