Wondering about some players entering portal

The portal should only be open in the spring, it's killing bowl games, and h.s recruiting.

Yep! It’s unfortunate the academic season is the real reason why the portal is open during Christmas break. They make it way to easy to just pack up and leave half way through the academic year.
I get the kids wanting to leave if they are grad transfers or a coaching change is made but with no real rules in place when it comes to NIL or the portal you’re asking for problems at all schools.

DJ won't be playing this year. That is a given.

As to the others ....you are correct you have no clue. Nor do I.

But let's theorize the odds......how many players go from a non producer on Jan 1 where we are now ........to a productive scorer by March 1?? Very Rare. Moreover, the high usage rate of the Big 3 makes supplemental productive scoring by others even more rare chance to happen.

There are only 20 regular season games left.
Even if one of the other youngsters somehow miraculously DO breakthrough & have a few "decent" games in those 20 games......that would be nice & welcomed, but still be nothing to plan around or plan by for next year. People thought that with Heide last year, gave us glimpses...and has again this year. Still not a player to count on as a productive starter.....this year.

Well, neither Trevion nor JI were producing consistently before January of their freshman years and Carsen had been benched about 12 games into his freshman season. So your claim that it would be ‘miraculous’ for someone outside of the big three to come on in a significant way is pretty hyperbolic.

Are you talking about DJ? I understand the concern there unless RB or Berg really comes on this spring. Outside of DJ you have no clue (neither do I) how those guys will be playing in March.

You may be 100% correct but it’s silly, IMO, to assume that we know what this team will look like in 2 to 3 months.

They beat eight B1G ‘scrub’ teams? That is awesome! Thanks for reminding one and all.

An ‘IU Football is a failure’ thread is also awesome in current times. Every time you post it’s a reminder of how times have changed. More please.

I know your team has had so few wins it must all seem memorable. But for the rest of us those beat downs were against scrubs.

Now those fries won't cook themselves. Get busy.

I explained how you got fleeced. Are you not capable of reading ?

Agree as Jr- Sr. Highly likely.

As sophomore or RS frosh if granted.....???? I am sure there will be glimpses. But consistent production......Certainly would not count on that in the overall plan for next year. That is in no way a given. And why the portal will be important.

Oh, young man, IU had many memorable wins including many beatdowns. And what do you mean by "IU was fleeced"? Hmm. inquiring minds want to know what goes through the teenage brain.

CJ and DJ are going to be huge in the future.

Could we possibly see another run to a NC with those 2 getting on the same page, defensive stopper with GH and Burgess. Our youth has very high potential in my mind.

That’s the counter argument to the ‘we have to hit the portal’ crowd, it’s really early to make a call on a lot of these guys. If it’s still the big three carrying most of the load in March the portal argument is probably right. Fortunately those decisions don’t need to be made in December and January.

Who gives a shit about IU. They paid their coach and now he can coast into retirement. Enjoy your one season of zero memorable wins. Zero trophies and nothing to show for it.

IU was fleeced and it will show itself soon.

Save this post. 2 years from now purdue will be stomping on IU and they will be looking to take ole cign to pasture.
