Sources: Cal transfer QB Mendoza picks Indiana
Cal transfer quarterback Fernando Mendoza has committed to Indiana, sources told ESPN.
At Maryland will be tough. It was one of the closer games in Bloomington this year and big ten road wins are hard to come by. Maryland looks improved doing very good in the transfer portal and many starters returning. And I know indiana won’t want to hear this or will probably argue, but hemby was losing his starting spot to freshman ray so Maryland has the edge on indiana there.
Also just looking at wisconsin I would say that is a game indiana could lose. They seemed to upgrade at a lot of positions already.
Illinois is a pretty tough game for IU too.
Projecting 8-10 wins for any B1G team that’s not OSU is shaky territory.
IU sos was 67 before the ND game which is about right in the middle of of total D-1 teams
I'd say there are 10 winnable games on the schedule in eyes. I said the same about this year as well and we won all 10 plus Michigan. Next year I don't see us beating Penn State or Oregon and that's perfectly fine with me. Iowa is a who knows because you never know what Iowa will be year to year. I think Illinois is the 3rd best on the schedule and that'll be a really tough game. Maryland could be tough but their coach sucks. Wisconsin is a mystery as well. I think saying 7-10 wins is realistic.
↑ ↑ Says the king of sales and sales management. Keep driving that black "pick up truck".
Wisconsin upgraded at QB and has the highest portal ranking in the big ten. 7-10 is fair given there are 3 gimmies in non-con. But I think they are just as likely to win 5 games as 10. Remember 2021? You lose the young offensive mind after an old coach gets lucky on an easy schedule the prior year… and went 0-9 in big ten.
True, a slide is possible but it’s kinda apples and oranges to the Allen era.
The only assistant leaving is the qb coach—Nine out of ten assistants return including both coordinators, and all three 1st team all-conference players return and lots of other starters. And unlike Allen, Cig has a long proven track record of success as a head coach.

He does have a a record of success as a P5/P2 head coach. And it’s not the number of coaches retained it’s the impact. Sunseri was iu’s qb whisperer and rourke credited him with his improvement. He’s the young rising coach who is now a full OC. Sound familiar? This is exactly what happened with DeBoer…
Except Sunseri was replaced with a good one. DeBoer got replaced and Indiana had the COVID year without him. Then it went downhill as Womack also left as DC and went to be the HC at South Alabama. Allen then hired a god awful DC from Georgia and then Walt Bell the season after.
DeBoer was the offensive coordinator, not an assistant.
I’m not doubting that Tino is a good qb coach, but he has only been with Cig for three years; Shannan has been with him for nine years and they’ve had all-conference QBs multiple times before Tino.
To think that Mendoza will be a significant step back from Rourke isn’t realistic; both starting WRs are back four of five linemen that were starters at the beginning of last year are back, they finally have pass catching RBs, and Mendoza was really proven and accurate in the ACC.
The schedule is way way tougher, but everything else lines up.
Indiana bringing back Kamara and Fisher on defense so that's two of the best defenders in the Big Ten. Sooo... Things seem to be fine. I'll take a 7-5 season🤷♂️. I'll take 6-6. I just want a consistent 6+ win season every year.
Mendoza is a talented QB but won’t be on any preseason all conference lists. He was rated lower than even Hudson card last year on some lists The strong offense last year was led by him, its a huge loss. Are you suggesting cooper is your 2nd best WR? I’m not an iu fan but even I know better than that. Where was he in the championship game? Never had more than 4 catches in a game. He made a lot of big plays but that was more rourke.
How do you have 4 returning OL? Katic, Wedig, and Stephens are out of eligibility.
Mendoza has some talent. Not sure what kind of talent or coaching was at Cal though. He still threw for 3000 yards. As for WR, Indiana kinda did it by committee outside of Sarratt who was the only real star. Same goes for RB. OLine is what needs bolstered the absolute most. Need some big boys to protect and open up the running holes. OLine was okayish.
OLine definitely needs more-currently counting on two guys that ended the year injured. Carter Smith, Nick Kidwell, Drew Evans, Bray Lynch return, but Evans and Kidwell need to get healthy.
To me KeyShawn Williams was the second best wr; they need a slot guy. But they also just picked the star wr from App St. Him, Sarrat, and Cooper are a great outside group.
