thirdgenhoosier Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 I've heard through the grapevine that IU will be very active in the portal...as in don't be surprised if it's in the upper teens in terms of number of new additions. Obviously, I don't know if that is accurate or not. Just what I've heard. I have no sources inside the program.

If Coach Allen is planning on "cleaning house" on the offensive side of the ball, players may already be seeing things behind the scenes or hearing things. JMHO.

I think you're right. We have scholarships.. use them. Like I think 12-13 at bare minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierinbham Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 Look at MSU for how quickly you can turn a program around with the portal. We have basically every starting position on offense up for grabs next season. Should be attractive to guys that want minutes against great competition. Just need a new OC and system that attracts the type of players we need. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 (edited) 1. Please let it be true. 2. It's a big offseason for our young talent. Let's hope some of these guys in the hopper emerge now. Beau Robbins, Cameron Williams, Josh Sales, Khalil Benson, Jacquez Green, Jordyn Williams, Holt-Bennett...and a lot more.  3. We lose probably four guys on defense who will be on NFL rosters. Micah, Jones, Matthews, Anderson. I am assuming our corners are back. That is a ton of production we will have to account for, and our offense needs jump started.  Edited November 23, 2021 by BobSaccamanno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he brings up a legitimate question.  Not only is Rattler no longer a Hesiman hopeful, he is no longer the future of that program.  He has been benched for a reason.  I think it’s reasonable to wonder why that is.  I certainly would still take him but Scott’s point isn’t incorrect.  He has absolutely struggled this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thirdgenhoosier Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 It’s interesting that this conversation turned right away to QBs.  I didn’t mention this yesterday but I also heard that QB would be one area where we would be looking to add.

What I saw of Rattler was that he was a turnover machine...usually of the fumbling the ball variety. When one is at a blueblood school there tends to be other highly regarded players behind you. Lincoln decided to make the change. Burrow left tOSU, Fields left UGA, etc. it happens all the time to even the great ones.

I agree with all of that.  I disagree w Scott if he doesn’t want Rattler.  I guess I’ve become more skeptical as I have hit my 50s.  If Rattler comes here then fantastic, but I’m not going to get too excited because of those turnovers you mentioned until I actually see him play well for us.

dgambill Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 We could land Arch Manning and not win a conference game behind this OL. The rebuild better start in the trenches. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there was a reason that Rattler was on the Heisman list and that was his showing in the 2020 season.  But it is all for naut. The odds of landing Spencer are extremely low.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
