update on portal

It’s too late now for the portal unless we’re looking at April. HS kids will be basically of no use as freshmen in the interior. Hopefully, the G5 kids will play up, although we could feel a lot better about it if they were using the same offense. Guess we’ll see… 🤷‍♂️
I thought it’s only too late to enter but once kids are in they can commit to a school whenever. Regardless I’m sure he’s not done with the portal and will pick kids up later on too.
 
I watched as many clips of games that I could find on Walkey, the ki from BYU.
A sure tackler with good ball skills that takes good angles!!!
I checked out his profile and it says he originally committed to Utah St in 2018.
He’s def going to be the oldest player on the team.
 
Says he’s “expected” so maybe he has to wait? Might be the new loophole. “Hey coach! I’ll be there when it opens back up. Come get me.”

They haven't perfected that part of the portal technology, yet...... :)

We probably win our first two games. I'm guessing we can win one more.

It's not an easy schedule but it's way easier than the last two seasons.
Rutgers? Home game so we (probably) have a shot. Don’t like our chances in any other games, though…

I mean we had a shot to win two games this season. And this was the worst team in the modern era.

We weren't far from 3 wins this season so I don't think 3 wins next season against an easier schedule is crazy talk. Much more than that shouldn't be expected.

They should really buy out the ND game and schedule an easy win. This program needs some success, not to go to South Bend and get throttled by 45 pts.

Ideally they start 2-0 so losing to ND won't necessarily be as bad this year but yeah I agree that until this team reaches at least mediocrity, we need 3 guaranteed wins every preconference. That means only 3 conference wins to make a bowl.

Making a bowl means "success" in the eyes of better recruits, it means extra practice time for younger players and it's how you step up to attracting better players, increasing fans and money for more NIL to graduate to 8-9 win seasons.

You don't get there winning 4-5 games max but hey you had a lot of top competition in RA. This isn't basketball.

No that is what IU does. Play some teams with a pulse. I rather face giants and have fun games than play high-school teams like IU. ND is going to get curb stomped by OSU. Over inflated and will get humiliated AGAIN in a national championship game.
