  3. Noah Clowney (2022) Commits to Alabama

    in Basketball Recruiting

    Posted · Edited by OGIUAndy

    There's just a better vibe around the program these days, so I am not as concerned about landing the top guys as I was with Archie. With Archie and really with Crean, it just seemed liked when we missed on guys it was a gut punch. I think with the coaches we have now, when we whiff, it won't be as "catastrophic" as it was in years past. Semi-long story short, I am not nearly as nervous or anxious about recruiting as I was the past few years.

  7. The Big Ten set IU Football

    The league set the IU football teams building progress back years and maybe for good?  Think how difficult it was for players to stay in the bubble not go out and party with people outside that bubble and get the cold and have to set out two weeks. Our guys played by the league rules and got the buck nuts put to them. Think about the implications of playing in that game. Recruiting would have been a premium and we stacked up well with the Cats and very easily could have won. These same guys don't have the same fire the same swagger. What they look like is a team comprised of a bunch of athletes that believed in their coach and system. Only to be screwed by the money and a corrupt league. Oh there was more evidence of that on Saturday. The message from the league was. Indiana when you win, you still can't win. They sure did put Coach Allen in bad situation.   

    How many targeting calls were not called against PSU? I counted at least 5.

    This is my take away....Penix and Thomas Allen no longer belong on the field due to so many injuries. Both are not even close to where they once were and are hurting the team at this point. After MM got tossed well it was on Thomas Allen to right the ship. On one blitz the guard caught Thomas and drove him back 12 yards. No strength in his legs to stop it. Other plays he just ran shoulder first into the back of the line or right into the arms of an o-linemen. Watch the game again and focus on Thomas Allen. M.Penix we all can see that mess. Only QB in history with the no look 50 yard pass. It s time to sit him.

    I think Penix deserves to play his way back. If he's not up to snuff in a few weeks, then yeah, benching is the right move. If we don't have anyone better than Thomas Allen, then our depth is not nearly has good as it needs to be to win big games. I understand he's the coaches kid and a Senior? but he is not good enough (was he ever?), to play a lot of downs. It was clear he was getting blown away and/or is too slow.  I assume we have some younger guys, they definitely need to play.

    No real question the offense needs to be better, but it's also pretty easy to see how many points we left on the board. 

    Their defense had momentum building plays.. why can't ours? 

    We should have scored absolutely no less than 34... I think everyone can see that. 

    Thomas Allen should not be the back up for arguably the best playmaker on the team. He's a huge step down in talent. I love the Allens but you can't tell me he's the best they have to back up McFadden.

    Tuttle should start next week

    Do not agree. He made a lot of bad decisions, but he'll get better mentally, he needs to settle his feet, quit forcing plays when there are none to be made. Fryfogle has to step it up, some big drops. Edit: the WR's had a bad day outside of Matthews.

    Have to win at WKU to get to 2-2 but the next few games will show how this season is going to play out.  If we lose all 3 to PSU, MSU and OSU it will make for a long season.

    Maybe I am frustrated sports fan because it seems like all of my teams have struggled for years or not lived up to expectations.  IU basketball and football hasn't been horrible all of those years but a lot of inconsistent play.  The Colts, Pacers and the Reds have been the picture of mediocrity for the last few years

    Replace the Colts with the Bears for me...I can relate, as most people here can.

    I think Lander is going to have a chance to get minutes, he just has to do something with them when he does. Leal i disagree with, i think he might struggle to get minutes, unless he is hitting 3-pt shots then i see Coach Woodson leaving him in. Also Galloway shouldn't get as many minutes as he did last year unless he shows some improvement offensively.

    I would say all three won't play much if they can't play d. They all have capable offensive games, but if they can't keep anyone in front of them, then they'll be riding the pine. Lander has to take it to the hole WAY more. He seemed to force threes or pass every time. I understand he needs to improve his shot, but I don't understand why he was only using his speed to pass.

    I think this year will be the best defense IU has ever had; I know they've been pretty good the past couple years, but I think they're going to be very hard to play against this year.  With the recruits coming in, I think it's only getting better in the coming years.

    Special teams is extremely solid.

    Really, the only weakness I think we have is the offensive line.  For this team to have another special season, they're really going to have to step it up.

    Penix still looks a little shaky, but even if he doesn't come around, Tuttle looked really good, confident, and calm in his time yesterday. His throws were absolutely on the money, too.

    Still zero pass rush outside of blitzing. The d-line has to put some pressure on the qb. Even a great defensive backfield can only cover guys for so long.

    I’ don’t doubt that. When I was at IU, and when I lived in Chicago, I went to virtually every game (missed a few when I was in Chicago). Would love to be at the Cinci game and am sure you, and everyone in attendance, will have a great time.

    Pretty sure it's Cincy not Cinci. Go Hoosiers!
