Charlie B’s ability with contested catches compared to others.  Amazing.

Who has been the ‘best’ wide receiver in the history of IU Football? James Hardy? Maybe Ernie Jones? Maybe Omar Cooper?

Charlie Becker is now in a league of his own. We’ll see how he does this year while getting attention from the best DBs in the country, but it’s wise to appreciate him while we can because players like him don’t come around often.

Yea.  His legacy is already cemented with the 2025 postseason… as clutch as a WR could be.  How much he adds to it we’ll see… good start so far!

Gotta go Hardy.. 36TDs in 3 years is too hard to deny.. 

3 years of 10+ TDs

[Brass Cannon]

If Becker wins another NC with us I dont care if he finishes with 20 or less TDs total.  Total TDs are less important than impactful ones.  
 

Dude was a hero in the Penn State, Ohio State and Miami games.

I am starting to get the feeling that true freshman Jacob Savage is the more likely every down linebacker than Turner or Utzinger should either Jones or Hardy miss time.

Daley and Wyatt have a hearing in Monroe Co. for their injunction this morning.

Turner and Utzinger are extremely limited. Savage is extremely not.

Saw that and appears Alexis is being added and withdrawing from Tennessee.

This is a big day.  NCAA has won a ton of these so far.  We need Daley and Wyatt eligible not to mention Alexis for basketball.

Adding Alexis makes me wonder if we are supremely confident

Probably feel like it being in Monroe county is the best shot for him.  NCAA keeps winning so I am not as confident as I was initially.  Just seems like these rulings are inconsistent so you just have no idea which way it's going to go.

And the conclusion from today is there is more to go here…

Thanks.  Was assuming we likely wouldn't get a ruling today.  Really hoping Daley and Wyatt get their 5th year.

[Brass Cannon]

Ok question for the people who understand the legal stuff. How much of this is just stalling?  Theoretically can we stall this till January?  
 

Is Alexis now eligible since he joined a case where the athletes are eligible 

[Brass Cannon]

Oh wow I guess Howard could have been their last game

Hopefully not, but I have a hard time believing that Cig and Co. left the Defensive line talent up to a chance ruling by a judge.  We should be in good hands even if they are not eligible one would have to think.  Coaching staff could not possibly be that short sighted.

Talent? Burnham and Ndukwe have been completely fantastic so far this season. 

So if we are without Daley and Wyatt we will have a defensive end rotation of Tobi, Chiddi, Ndukwe, and Burnham. That is still a stacked situation.

Yes and Wyatt, Daley just icing on the cake..

They're not. There was talk about how this season's defensive line might be more talented than last season's. And that was before Daley and Wyatt got the TRO.
