Lol. Just do what IE does and wet the bed. Who needs a restroom?

Get the details on who we'll sign at DT or kindly GTFO.

So your hill is that ND's top DT target is an Edge guy or a guy ND is tampering with. And not the actual DTs they've already scheduled to get on campus? I trust MF and co as well, but they will never publicly state "yea we whiffed on our top guys." Instead it'll be spin..."the guys we...

This isn't recruiting high schoolers. This the transfer portal. I'd agree with your perspective if this were the former. But with the portal, it's hard and fast right out of the gate to get your guys. If a guy gets brought in for a visit, he's considered a top target. Horka lives on the...

I basically agree with this. Anyone saying otherwise is huffing the cope. ND staff identified multiple prospects and then proceeded to struggle to get them on campus and/or sign them (as of this typing). Portal rankings are dumb and mean nothing. What matters is who the staff identified as...

I think the important thing to remember is that not all offers are the same. None of these are straight up cash value offers with no other caveats. I used to work in real estate and would always warn sellers that the biggest offer isn't always the best offer. The details matter. I know ND is...

Yeah fully prepping myself for the "ND was the bridemaid" for all of these guys. "Player X used ND to get a better offer from his first choice." Tale as old as time.

I'm ready to be crushed....Can ND actually get the ink to dry on: Keeley Graham Gilliam Brewu State your odds. I'm not optimistic, but still hopeful.

Said this to a friend last night. 0% chance I'd want to continue coaching in CFB if this is what it boils down to. No amount of money is worth that headache, especially when the NFL is just sitting there waiting.

Meh. A lot of these transfers (esp from schools like NIU) are leveling up their athletic careers and making a TON of money doing so. Even if he's right, and those kids don't end up traveling, dressing, playing...guess what, they just got a pay day that they'll likely never get again in their...

100% Feel like I made this exact point yesterday. Maybe I forgot to hit enter, who knows. But yes, OL and DL need age, development, experience. I'm all in favor of high level recruiting and development. It's a must. Esp as Lax pointed out that OL and DL are hard to come by in the portal and...

I agree except when it comes to DL and OL. I'd prefer to reload with proven commodities who are damn near 25 years old. It seems to be a cheat code in the portal era, imo. Definitely need home grown talent to develop. But always be enhancin' - Marcus Freeman (probably)

My point had more to do with the poster's clip claiming that Indiana did something in two years that ND has been trying to do since the 90s. It's simply not true. ND did not join the arms race. In fact, they ran the opposite way for many years. Weis got some stuff, BK got some stuff...

He's not wrong and I generally agree. It's a tough pill to swallow for sure. For the last 20 years, IU football has been quite literally one of the worst P5 teams. But ND, while wallowing in mediocrity during said time, also wasn't really "trying." The arms race took teams like Bama...

This is catastrophic! In all seriousness, though, if ISD is starting to wet the bed, it might be time to sound the alarms. I'm holding out judgement until the defensive line guys are signed (or not). If ND whiffs on DL, I will officially go buy diapers at the nearest Costco.

I was at this game. Will never forget it.

There's a new thread for these types of posts....

IU can sleepwalk to 9-3 next year w/ their '26 schedule. If they hit on QB and a few key replacements, 10-2 is likely, imo. OSU, @Michigan, @Nebraska (lets go Kenny), and USC are their only tough games and I don't see Cig losing all 4 of those. I'm so sick of seeing these giant conferences...
