Yep, 2-10 seems about right for IU next season.

I've always felt 8 was the best.

I don’t know everything.

Tra’mar Harris
Jamari Payne
Ahrmad Branch
Nick Levy
Sterling Smith

I don’t know if all those guys will start. Branch is expected to complete and was the second fastest WR we had last year. Nick levy is our staring king snapper and when he saw we were hiring an elite ST coach he decided to stay. Harris and Payne were true freshmen and great recoveries. I don’t know anything about smith. Also Mockobee was expected to move on if Purdue didn’t keep Conard, so chalk that up to wait and see who the coach was but I didn’t count him since he didn’t officially enter the transfer portal. The other 5 did.

Again don’t let facts get in the way.

wouldn't mind Catalon S and Correa a 6'3 230 LB 3 star played at Bishop Gorman

That’s why NIL deals should be contracts strictly based off production and not potential.
Base pay + season accolades = NIL deal

Yes sorry Hudson Miller, lol. He will provide depth. I’m hoping we can also get mani Powell from UNLV.

Hudson? do you mean Miller ? he's not a BIG10 caliber LB

We will only play 2 at any time just like last year. I think 6 seasoned LBs is fine. We got the two Arkansas LBs, Berglund, Davis, Hudson, and two freshmen. One more would be good but I also think we can convert some edge rushers or even some larger DBs. Maybe Trey Smith

Need more depth at the 5 but would probably be a 1 loss team if DJ were healthy. Let's not overreact to this year when we lost our top recruit late and our tallest player early in the season. With both on the roster, the biggest concern would have been getting minutes for player development.

100% agree. That and let CJ play more as I think he has a chance to come in to his own later on this year.

We're really young too .. yeah we have 3 that have been around a while, but only (a meaningful) 3. I've said it before I am okay (not that it matters) with taking lumps this year for what next season could be. Especially if DJ comes back with some added weight... We could go from not deep, to VERY deep in a single offseason.

Tall pass catchers are always at a premium. If they get a hand on it, they almost always catch it. We need ball-possession receivers.

Wasn’t C. J. Smith one of the highest earners from NIL just to collect splinters and piss off others who actually played ?

Wow! Zach played Hockey and baseball too!! Who knew???? Next thing you know, we’ll be seeing posts telling us Coach Wooden was an all American guard at Purdue? And Joe Barry Carroll played center at Purdue and Big Dog had several sons.

Pardon the sarcasm. But this is about the millionth time I have read about Zach Edey being a former hockey player. I’ve seen it almost as many times as the misspelling of Indiana!

Give us a break. Every Purdue fan knows Edey was a former hockey and baseball player. Tell us something we don’t know!

How about the Grizzlies GM scouted Zach intensely for his last two years at Purdue and was going to draft him regardless of what his predraft rating was. He knew Zach would be a perfect fit. That’s a real scoop you won’t find in normal basketball circles!

I would hope we never see mid season transfers, that would flat out ruin the game. I can see a player doing it and being able to play mid season the following year, no way the same season.

Backup will be interesting. I think Tyler Cherry is still there and Mendoza's little brother who was a redshirt freshman. Cig might just roll with that.
