I count 4 scholarship kids, all highly recruited. That doesn't count DJ Mathews. Nor does it count Omar Cooper from LN. There is some nice talent still there on paper, but will be very young. But, really, do any of those that left scare anyone? Edited November 29, 2021 by thirdgenhoosier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys on the roster are Holt-Bennett, Matthews (no clue what he does next), David Baker, Javon Swinton, and Jaquez Smith. I think those are all the guys that played last year.

jojo123 Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 TA and staff will hit the portal hard this year. I hope he gets his OC on board quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojo123 Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 I have to say one thing. TA must run a tight ship. You know there had to be a lot of bad attitudes on that field and locker room all year. And we not one story came out of it. So, in this case we know it was not loose lips that sank this ship. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier82 Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 I’m not counting any of these guys as gone until they sign eslewhere. I don’t blame kids for entering in to see their options. If we make a good OC hire, he’ll lobby hard to keep a couple of these kids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a homerun and he’ll be gone in a year or two…get an up and comer and you risk failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he had some bad drops and caused at least one INT from Penix because he ran the wrong route. Got benched and never saw the field again. Probably for good reason 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btownqb Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 From Sept 1-Dec 1 you shouldn't be allowed to go into the portal. You can quit on your team mid season if you want, but you shouldnt be rewarded for it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really want guys in the locker room who were shopping for a better deal? Doesn't feel like the level of commitment that you want. Of course, I'm old and view things differently than people do these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I'm old and view things differently than people do these days. Normally I’d absolutely agree but with the OC being in flux, you never know how/if these kids even fit into his plans. I’m a firm believer in that it’s rarely what you do but how you do it that matters and only the current staff and these kids are privy to that at the moment.

Of course, I'm old and view things differently than people do these days. I'm ok with a kid wanting to take a step up in competition....I think you do have to be VERY careful about bringing in these kids just because they lost their starting job. That said with coaches leaving, promises broken, etc every situation is different. Have to trust the coach knows something about these kids character. From what I saw I don't think we really had issues with our transfers this year....they played pretty well for us. It was our returning players that had all the offseason accolades that didn't put in the work and make a difference on the field as they should.

I understand what you're saying, but IU can't afford to be turning away anyone if they have talent and want to be in Bloomington. The landscape of college sports has changed. Us old guys will need to be open and accepting of the changes or be miserable. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really mind kids transferring. A lot of good reasons to do that. I'm talking about kids on our team entering the portal, not finding anything better, and then wanting to return to the team. Kind of like the Sampson James situation. If a kid is not all in, I don't think I want him on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 so many kids last year lost their scholarship because the school they were at wasn't good enough for them and no one picked them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
