Get Francis Brewu on campus, that's four.

I have to imagine a visit with ND is in the works too, if not already in place. Partridge recruited the guy.

Nah. It shows how utterly useless the portal rankings are. Seriously, they are just beyond trash. Just a reminder that Jared Dawson was the 83rd rated DL in the 2025 portal class. That is ungodly stupid.

It doesn't sound like was ever involved in this one. If guys like Brewu keep popping up in the portal, I can't say I'm losing sleep over this one.

He did both. He had the weight, lost it early at Alabama when they moved him to OLB, then gained it back when they moved him around the line.

I don't think Saban deserves fairness in regards to Keon. Saban ALSO didn't utilize him correctly. Dude was 6'5 and close to 280, and it was evident that he was going to be either a big end or DT. What does Saban do? Has him drop 40 pounds and puts him at OLB. Bruh...

I mean, if Onye returns, and hypothetically should Burgess start, you'd effectively have a starting 4 of: Traore (Senior) Onye (6th year) Burgess (Sophomore) Young (Junior) One underclassmen next to three upperclassmen, including a grad student is hardly super young. And not to mention...

I mean, I don't want to take anything away from Indiana, but let's dissect this: Last year, Indiana got curbstomped by ND. Don't @ me with the final score after they got 2 garbage time TDs. This year, they beat the crap out of an insanely overrated and mediocre Alabama team. Keep in mind...

I mean, we're not on "borrowed time", and ND is hosting a dude who had 11.5 sacks last year.

Yeah, but Indiana HAS to do that. Their current roster has 3 homegrown blue-chips on it, and they're only adding 2 from their 22 man '26 class. ND has 58. As well as another 20 from their 28 man class.

I mean, I think they need to be cultural fits and have to actually play school and have been in good academic standing at their old school. I don't think they're just going to take every Joe Schmo with credits in underwater basket-weaving. That said, it definitely looks like the credit...

I think the days of ND "having a hard time" getting non-grads in are over. Several of ND's targets in the portal are non-grads. Marsh was a sophomore. Gilliam is a sophomore. Ian Strong is a junior. Riley Leonard came to ND as an non-grad.

That's possible, but here's the thing. ND only has so many slots that are tagged for "luxury" players. Essentially, 2 DTs are a need. 1 boundary receiver is a need. 1 kicker is a need. Maybe 1 rotational DE is a need. They have 2 DTs in right now with Ibirogba and Gilliam, they also have Jalen...

These are rare times.

Depends. Does this buffet line have free refills on Mountain Dew?

I think it's less because they don't want it and more that it's hard to find. There's only so many 340+ dudes who can also move extremely well.

I think we saw the issue with relying on the portal with Florida State. One year, it paid off big time. The next, it was a complete and utter disaster. It works for Cignetti right now, because these JMU players are 5th/6th year guys and have all been in the same system the entire time. Those...

Experience is pretty important, but more so than that, development is important. Hebert "may" be better than both of them, but as of now, he's not ready. Atkinson may not have Hebert's ceiling, but he is developed and can run an offense at a competent level. If Hebert was ready, they wouldn't...

Yeah, I like Mike, and ISD does a great job at covering, but Mike would go on a 10 minute rant about how the Gug's new carpeting is going to have a negative impact on recruiting if he could.
