Moore is pretty lazy. Has the size and ability but seems to take a ton of plays off. If he would play with urgency every play..he could be a stud
Gee, I wonder why you think Moore would be a good prospect?
There are going to be some guys at places looking for a new home...be it players looking to transfer, or, recruits coming in.
Problem with the portal is that those guys are there for a reason. Usually the reason is lack of playing time and better players on the roster ahead of them. However, we sometime see mid-major guys who have developed well and want to go up to the next level.
While I think that has typically been the case...it seems that right now, way more guys are looking to move on for other reasons...better players in a lot of cases...I mean, lets just use IU as an example...you have a year or two left...are you staying and just going through the motions, or, are you looking for an opportunity to play somewhere where you are actually playing for something? That is true of any number of schools for that matter. What if you are at Nebraska as someone else touched on and your position coach was fired...and, similar situation in that you know you really aren't playing for anything there right now either. What if your HC gets hired away (almost certain to happen at Cincinnati, and, going to happen at other places as well)?
I think O'Connell stays, and, I do think you see the other 2 QBs hit the portal.
O'Connell's genius is that he throws a very catchable ball. He doesn't have a superstrong arm, he doesn't throw frozen ropes that are hard to catch. He uses good judgement and throws very accurately. Reminds me of Bob Griese.
I was really disappointed we didn't get Wandale, but Garret Miller turned out to be a pleasant surprise in my view so we came out ok.
that was me who asked about Trevon Booker of Miami (OH) , do some investigating work and let us know
Would Burton get another free transfer after already transferring to Purdue? I have no idea how any of that works at this point.
Here's what I'm hoping that will play out, AOC comes back, Allen in the fold, Plummer and Burton transfer out which will keep Alaimo around. If AOC leaves then maybe Plummer sticks around.
That’s strange that is very conflicting with my observations. Maybe not super strong arm but can put plenty of zip on the ball. He used to only throw frozen ropes but improved tremendously with putting touch on the ball.
Purdue backed off him. Same as cooper. McCullough going with dad and brothers. We didn’t even offer him. Those are their only 3 commits from Indiana. Only guy they have I wouldn’t mind is Carter Smith, OT from Ohio but we weren’t close to getting him. I’d rather poach some of their players from the transfer portal.
My observations are that he also can throw with plenty of zip on the ball as well as through a catchable ball. It’s a talent that he’s worked on for quite some time it seems. He has a lot going on between his ears. How obviously put in the work outside of their practices in the film room like a true professional does. Because he understands all of the nuances of this offense.
If OConnell is going to stay, you need to get him some OL help in the portal. Guys that can come in and start right away. He'll have a nice WR group to throw to and Scott should be the No1 RB, so OL is really the area of need on offense.
And if you pick up players from blue bloods that aren't getting playing time, they're likely to be very good players who may have gotten beat out by another 4 or 5 star and are looking to be more than depth. You know, generally better than some of the players we have the ability to recruit en masse? Or they might be head cases. Who knows? Not sure how you can broad brush like you just did?
Based on what I saw Saturday, I'm not sure they have any players we'd have much use for.
He's now public enemy No.1 for Boiler Nation!
