I’ve been saying this all season. Weaver is also terrible when he comes in. Thomas Allen Jr spelling McFadden was a terrible decision, boardering on negligence.

Lol. I’m willing to bet, it could have gone better.

Kramer may have been the least heralded transfer of the bunch but he’s made a huge impact already. Love seeing such an improvement on out DL

11.63 is good enough to get you to regionals in Indiana so a defensive end clocking that time is damn impressive and very rare.

10.4 would be the fastest non wind aided time in IHSAA State Finals history. 10.6 is good enough to take home 1st place in 23 of the last 40 state Finals and you’re here talking about sectionals. Come on man…

Penix needs to sit the rest of this one

Utterly baffling…it’s not like they had everyone back from a big year. Their only impressive win from last year was over Miami. Had a decent year, worth maybe top 20 and lost their top two running backs and wide receivers, brining nothing of value into the team this year. Their own coach called them overrated and their “Heisman” candidate is an absolute fraud. I honestly can’t think of a single justification for having them in the top 10 coming into this year

Indiana University Surplus Store will likely put them up for sale like they have most others in years past (they are currently selling unused cleats). These also find their way on eBay pretty consistently. I have two game worn road jerseys, one from around 2009 and one from 2012 that my wife wears. Just have to wait on them to go up for sale

SIAP but I came across this for the Cincinnati game…really cool. Would love to get my hands on one of these jerseys… https://iuhoosiers.com/news/2021/9/2/iu-football-to-wear-retro-adidas-uniforms-honoring-teams-from-1980s-1990s.aspx?fbclid=IwAR1nboXKIRB-Aj7ygBfxLCLo_DoAM8StbSPLgIzSE5BiiYAXVrW0R__st0I

How can you tell? That’s now 3 TD’s on completely blown coverages. Stroud hasn’t impressed me but their OLine and RB’s certainly have.

Who knows? I absolutely agree but things like that don’t always work out. I’ve seen guys desperately try to add weight at that age and it doesn’t work. The great thing about Desan is we don’t “need” him to change anything, no matter how he develops, there’s a spot on the field for him and he’ll excel at it.

You may wanna ask Dasan first because he’s gonna play wherever he wants on the defensive side of the ball. I also don’t hate the idea of him playing TE2 in the red zone or situationally if he wants to. Kid is an absolute freak of an athlete

If this kid doesn’t move up in the rankings, I’ll be surprised. He has all the tools and instincts to play at this level. I feel like being listed at 6’1 is why he’s not higher but if he can excel in top class Texas football, that’s obviously not an issue for him

…for them, ya

ASU puts DB coach Chris Hawkins on “leave”…should help efforts to flip Alfonzo Allen

A 6’5 kid who also plays basketball and has speed is one hell of a matchup problem and weapon to have in the red zone…just an added bonus that Scott Frost really wants him. I really hope he joins

“A bloop double and a seeing eye single”…um, is this some hip TikTok speak I’m unaware of???

Lol, one of these things is not like the others….but that being said, does he want to be great, stand out, help build something special with friends and family in attendance or does he want to blend in, wait in line and risk getting passed over???

First and foremost, these are kids doing kid things. Also, they’re not friends and they barely know each other off social media. Personally, I’m surprised there’s not way more of this in general. As for the adults “in the room”, we should be taking the high road and wishing him well but the harmless smack talk amongst kids, I think, is healthy…normal competitive behavior

It’s either intentionally throwing people off or a slip up. He also said he wants to study engineering. All material signs point away from Bloomington.

All that matters is cable subscriptions. NJ and NY cable companies make BTN standard as a result of Rutgers. Otherwise it’s ala carte or shoved to the most expensive channel tier and thus millions less in revenue

I think Monds and Hoover will approach 4 star status before their seasons are up also. Rivals has them on the cusp already

Any word on Jaylin Williams? I can’t find anything regarding the latest hit and run incident as to who was driving his car or if charges were pending.

Exactly. It’s only one unknown kid so I completely agree. We used to have 3-5 recruits per year at a similar stature. CTA has a knack for finding potential on the defensive side of the ball and developing it so maybe this kid can turn into a Marcelino Ball or McFaddon caliber player…if not, you always need more speed on the scout team. Picking up a recent offer from FSU is nothing to to scoff at either. He also clearly hasn’t been evaluated by the recruiting sites so I expect this to change at some point in his senior season and he’ll have a rating.

Football programs need to smarten up and put down better sideline material. Kids get hurt all the time trying to stop on slippery material or in some corner areas there’s not enough room with no wall padding.
