With 2026 schedule, it will be very surprising if Lebby is still the HC after 6 or 7 games..

I guess it?s good State brought Arnept back to step in as interim the second half of next season.

This site needs a new name, bc Eilte it is not! The whiny, bitchy dogs would be much more appropriate and accurate. If you want previous starters or 2nd teamers with stats, then whip out your check books. Does anyone know how much money Indiana is pouring into their NIL? How about TT? Put up or shut up, otherwise just accept the fact that we are what we are in football regarding NIL. Our ****ing HC is also a victim of our NIL!! His replacement will also be a victim of our NIL!! Cry all you want, but basketball and baseball are legit opportunities for us to be competitive in from a conference and national standpoint with baseball having the best outcome.

Let?s all get together and have drinks, so we can put some faces to these names. We can pass the hat around and see how much we can drum up! Who knows, we might be able to buy a holder for our kicker!

I love it when people post assumptions like this. There are some decent size donors on this forum. Just keep assuming brother.

Facts.

Indiana provides the blueprint. Get older players who have been productive. Lebby says not on my watch. We are going to get unproven, younger guys, who went to good programs and didnt play. Bold strategy cotton.

How about we get creative and recruit billionaire's children / grandchildren in non-revenue sports and work them into the State family of giving. That'd be a more impactful effect to our NIL.

Haha. Good idea. If we passed the hat among the people on this site, we might end up with $1000. We could hire a practice dummy with that.

I think everyone does that. The problem is there aren't many players that have a profile where they are older and have a lot of production. The ones that are out there are a ton of people after they.

If we get older players our fans would immediately question why they were in the portal or ask why they didn't start.

If it's a younger player we question why they aren't older.

No one is complaining about the Mizzou WR or when we got Whitson last year.

Yes, our smart fans want to see us sign kids that have produced at a p4 level or excelled at a G5 level.

The Rice safety looks good, I hope it translates.

I do not want a dumb fan base that celebrates signing kids that have done nothing at all on a p4 level and then wonder why we are getting skull drug by freaking wake Forest.

Either land some quality players or just start sending the money to Jans and baseball.

If we land the tackle from UAB and one of the upperclassmen guards to go along with Steen at the other tackle spot we will be in good shape for next year as our offensive line tacking shape.

And I'm not saying we should stop there. But our fans need to stop melting down over every player that isn't a 4 star portal guy. Indians only had three 4 star portal guys out of the 20 something guys that they signed.

Everybody ok with Cordova? His offer list out of high school was pretty impressive (247), not sure it?s all correct.

There's more than just "melt" or "rah-rah" on the spectrum of reaction. I'm solidly meh right now until I see that OL take shape and have producers. I prefer the G5 guys who proved they should be a level up. Love the Rice safety signing. But most of our other signings are based on potential. May work. But often doesn't.

If one could simply go by offers out of high school, this guy is the most loaded guy on the team now.

He definitely has an impressive offer sheet. The talent is there.

I'm wait and see. I usually don't complain when I feel like the staff is going to fix the problem because it's not productive. Player acquisition takes time. Big difference between January 10 and February 10.

The portal isn't closed yet for another 6 days and technically the season still isn't over yet.

There are no foolproof signings in the portal unfotunately.

That's where most of us are. Just when someone comes in with the toxic positivity or the toxic negativity the middle group rips them. Reacting to that ripping needs to realize why they were ripping.

Money plus Raleigh, NC vs. Starkville, MS. ?Might? have played a role. Some guys just aren?t looking for the small town living.

Of course, a guy shooting up 6 people in West Point last night might scare a few people away too!
