How long before we reach the point when it is just important to recruit the transfer portal as it is to recruit high schoolers?

I say ,it is there! A lot of the high school athletes that would have been 3-4 star rated are losing out to proven existing college players. 

Coaching changes are mirroring the portal transfer. Nobody commit’s for more than a year.  Happening to all programs now. It was just Indiana for a long time, good Wilson hires leaving for higher level programs,starting in the Wilson era’s first year or two.  The Hoosier Program was the trend setter. Coach thieving is oneway for programs to rise at a faster pace. No loyalty.

Looks like Ricky Nelson on the right. 

Very delicate topic that needs immediate attention. 

Very interesting Muda. 

From the inside, Allen we will be the DC this coming season. New hire Chad Wilt, is DC in training.

Do they keep that kind of stat or records? Pretty impressive though. 

White or black smoke? Any word?

Even Saban is chiming in on the unfair benefit  this will have on the already prosperous top football programs.

While the Alabama Cincinnati score was predictable, I did not see this coming in the UM Georgia game.

Why? Georgia is the best team in lfootball.  Heads and shoulders above any big Ten team. And the championship game will bare this out. 

I didn’t give Cincinnati a chance 

My arm is getting sore guys.  

3rd DC in three years. Batting 1000

Sounds like a great opportunity to get Mark Hagen back. 

Might not want to come back?

Probably 

DC Warren, D line coach peoples

Allen looking for 2 new coaches

All you guys on here dancing around with each other about player rosters. 
Indiana needs to get coaches to stick around for more than one or two seasons to establish consistency with the offense and defensive schemes. Hoosiers problems start with the coaching. If they want to contend for the good players and stay competitive with, all world teams ,of the Big Ten East. 

So…. Warren gone? And peoples! Maybe Tom is taking over.

Finally some good news.  IU finds its 2022 QB out of Missouri in the transfer portal. Connor Bazelak is 6-3, 215 and put up some nice numbers for the Tigers in the SEC.  Was a 4 Star coming out of Ohio 

This appears to be a vote of no confidence in Tuttle and perhaps a stop gap until McCulley grows into the position.

Finally some hope in Bloomington.

I don’t think it is a dis on Tuttle, as he was capable, but definitely some more security for the position. Man, the cupboard   was bare last year.  Hopefully, McCulley is the guy next year.

Hey. The ☘️ aren’t little guys. 😂 

Called BIG little guys,Funny!What’s that make Pee U, and IU then?

Just getting back to what the committee’s sticking points ,by 2 of the conferences was . They would not agree to 8.

The example that they gave was last years scenario, Alabama (1) Florida (7) .If Either one of those not getting in But PAC 10 winner Oregon (27) getting in. This wouldn’t pass the “ fair” test. So that is the sticking point for 8. 

But again, it’s not the money here folks!

Don't think $$$ was a factor for Kelly. Been venturing into some ND message boards and info coming out that Kelly's yearly compensation package the last few years has been between $7.5-$8.5 mil/yr. He was paid handsomely and one of the top paid coaches in college football. 

Yea me either, he’s well heeled and a man in a mission to get a championship. Smart move for him to pull this off ,very opportunistic on his part.

Comes down to Jimmy’s and Joe’s…gonna be easier for BK to break into that top four in Baton Rouge.  Sorry guys.

That’s right, ND peaked the last two years,and won’t be a factor in the championship 4 ,going forward. The loss to Cincinnati this year was the handwriting on the wall for ND’s previous coach.  He’s smart , and if his goal was to win it all, he knew this was his obvious move. If it wasn’t his goal then at his age, it was for $$$ only. I’m in the camp of championship reason.

Notre Dame's talent level was at the highest in his 12 year career there. The chances of him winning a national championship sometime in the next four years was better at Notre Dame than it is at LSU. 

Yea ok we shall see. I don’t think Notre Dame will ever win another.

No matter who is the coach. And I think it is the reason Kelly hightailed it out of town.
