Colorado OL Yousef Mugharbil, OL Luke Eckardt, and QB Drew Carter have all entered the transfer portal.  Colorado has now had 51 players enter the portal.

What's the count of players transferring to Colorado? I think it's pretty high, like close to 30 or something. I recall 24/7 had them transfer ranked #1 and the recruiting class wasn't bad either. Like something close to 20 recruits coming in.

This team had a worse record than IUFB so it makes sense the mass exodus is happening. 

I guess what I'm saying here is that the players leaving probably will find a landing spot at a school like Ball St. or something because that's the talent level. It's no knock to those playing at mid-majors it's just that there's vast difference in talent from a PAC-12 school to a MAC school.

To your first paragraph, Prime is claiming that they have a bunch of unannounced transfers coming in that will shock everyone and make the plan make sense. Remains to be seen obviously, but it seems like usually what he says ends up happening.

He'll probably be fine with his current team. LOL. He wins 2 games this year it's better than last season. His team sucked last year.

No doubt. I'll be shocked if they don't win 3 or 4 purely on talent, but opening with TCU won't be pretty.

Oh I'll absolutely be cheering on Colorado. Too bad Indiana didn't have the money and guts to hire him.

Saw we gave this kid an offer so I went to his profile to see what else he had going on. First tweet was this gem. An all time “University of” blunder. 

Could be worse.  Could have said USCLA.

Ben Davis didn't teach him better than that? Dumb, dumb, dumb. I wondered why the Colts passed 3 different times lol.. makes sense now. I'll take Freeland anyways.

[Hovadipo]

Not particularly relevant to IU, but this kid is Ty Fryfogle’s brother and he is an absolute problem. We offered really early on, but uh…yeah lol. Holds offers from just about everyone.

Gruden will be coaching college within a year and a half.

A year and a half later and he's back in the NFL.  Can I get partial credit?

Eli Drinkwitz parleyed 1 year at App St into an SEC job and then a 3-year record of 17-19 into not 1, but 2, extensions with raises. The dripping self-righteousness of some coaches on this stuff will never cease to astound me.

And purely my opinion, but Eli Drinkwitz is a dumb-@$$ name that he fits visually:

1 thing on Drink: his agent managed to create a panic in the Mizzou athletic department by somehow convincing them of the transparently laughable idea that he was in play for the LSU gig, resulting in a 2 mil/yr raise and 2 extra years. That guy did his freaking job. Drink, not so much.

His face screams “cheats at golf.”

If it's IU Football-style news, our new conference opponents will be mandatory nine annual games consisting of mandatory triple plays against Penn State, Michigan, and OSU. 

To make it 'fair' our opponents will wear helmets and we will be banned from helmet usage.
