Well suck.

[ThompsonHoosier 3,414]

Damn it! Why can't this team ever catch a break?

[Crimson and Cream 5,798]

Good grief....and what's with all these transfers in the past month??

Can't figure out the Mister transfer. He was the third tailback as a redshirt Frosh. Come on man, patience.

[Hoosier116 318]

Hearing Patrick will get a redshirt and stay on...I say wait and see on that.  If he stays then I am not too bugged by this news, yeah it sucks he cant play now but at least he can stay on board and work with the team and dominate next year.  But again...these seem to mean they wont stick around, hope he does! As for Mister...it sounds very much as if he was passed over by Brookins for sure and maybe Rodriguez..if that is the case then its hard to be too upset.  I was very excited about Mister and he was highly regarded but I trust our coaches and their judgements.  Brookins sounds like he could be a true find by this staff.  I wish Tommy well.

Agree with last post about Mister. Most kids leave for more playing time and if he was low on the depth chart it suggests a strong RB cadre. Wonder if he is going to Illinois State to be eligible right away. ISU could become IU in exile...

Who is this Brookins kid? I don't recall even hearing his name before.

Redshirt freshman (I think) from Terre Haute. Broke some of Anthony's rushing records at North. Great hair.

Wow, impressive! Yeah I mean it sucks to see anyone transfer, but like someone else said it's hard to blame them if they just want more pt. Best of luck to Mister, hopefully Brookins and A-Rod can keep improving and our backfield will be fine.

I don't remember stats offhand but he played extremely well in the spring game too. The future at RB here is solid for sure.

And then Gest and Flakes in next years class, looking good for sure

[ThompsonHoosier 3,414]

Howard has two seasons of eligibility and from what I've read, he has looked pretty good out there. Redding is the change-of-pace back behind him as D'Angelo Roberts was for Coleman last season. Mister wasn't going to see the field too much this season, and it's expected coming off of surgery. But I guess he did not want to wait his turn.

[Hoosier116 318]

Yea Brookins was a walk on last year, earned his scholarship just a week ago.  Wilson has had nothing but good things to say about him and how hard he has worked.  The link I put here is from the local news station in Terre Haute so it is a little bias on how well he is doing I am sure, but it is info nonetheless!

Not sure Mister would be able to switch to another team this close to the season and not be completely behind the 8 ball so to speak.

 

Might as well transfer to another Div 1 school and take your 2nd year on the bench.

Cole Gest is a sleeper.

[Prilla the Thrilla 158]

Tommy Mister has transferred to Northern Illinois. That is where our next head coach will come from. (Rod Carey, former IU lineman). Powerhouse of the non power 5 schools.

I think KW will be here a while.

[ThompsonHoosier 3,414]

Yeah I think Wilson will be here for a while. But I would not be opposed to bringing Rod in when a coaching change occurs. We need someone with head coaching experience and a proven record of winning.

Mister was really good in High School. Bummer he won't be at IU.
