KDB Posted December 11, 2021 Report Posted December 11, 2021 Shivers is rated as a 4-star transfer by 247. He is ranked as the 17th best overall transfer, and #1 athlete in 247’s transfer portal player rankings.

Great thing about portal (and I know there's bad) you can reload quickly.

IndyHoosier22 Posted December 11, 2021 Report Posted December 11, 2021 Great pick-up, but need to put an O-Line in front of him.
Fiveoutofsix Posted December 11, 2021 Report Posted December 11, 2021 What a fantastic addition! Congrats coaching staff, team, fans and Shivers. I'm not sure we have has back like this in a long time. Can change the game directional. Cross between Coleman and Howard? Exciting!!!! Already, the offense got better. This kid can cut the corner, spread the field and break through tackles.

Get backs and other lineman follow or vice versa...I'll take talent/speed in any order but agree we need OLine help for sure.
Hoosier51 Posted December 11, 2021 Report Posted December 11, 2021 Get some help on the O-Line and possibly a QB and the transfer portal has been great for the Hoosiers. Coach Allen might get this turned around faster then some think.

A weakness can quickly become a strength because there is immediate PT available.

Allen is still a young head coach and he is first and foremost a motivator, one of the best. He never had to motivate when the target was reversed. Hope their is growth their and with the players.

Yeah i think it will be a very motivated Hoosiers team next season.
BobSaccamanno Posted December 11, 2021 Report Posted December 11, 2021 Love the pickup. We need playmakers and he fits the bill. I would still like to get a bigger back to pair him with. I do like our younger guys Holloman (has heck of a burst), Spegal (rugged), and Howland.
rico Posted December 11, 2021 Report Posted December 11, 2021 Good pick-up. Another needed piece added.

He's got speed but he is absolutely not afraid to lower the boom on someone. This is when he was just a little freshman playing against Bama:

There are a lot of RBs that would be #2 on the depth chart behind Tank Bigsby. This kid looks like the really strong version of Nyheim Hines and I am ALL for that.
Hoosierinbham Posted December 15, 2021 Report Posted December 15, 2021 The Auburn fans I know love him and wished they would've used him more. He was mostly a 3rd down back and caught passes out of the backfield. They're excited to see what he can do as a Hoosier.

He has the capability of being one of the best big play guys in the B1G, we just need to get him the ball in the right places.

I've mentioned it before, but I've got some pretty strong familial Auburn ties and would consider them my number 2 team (football they're more like my 1b team). I would agree, he wasn't utilized very well in the new offense. Shivers wants Nix to come with him, hope he gets his way.

Get your athletes out in space with the ball, consistently. We did none of that last year.

Sounds like Lucas (the RB that just signed) will be similar.
