Rivals had him as a 4* dual threat QB. The clips I watched show a good arm and looks like decent mobility. I'd like to see more clips of him making plays with his legs if they exist??
I think he is a Peyton Ramsey type runner. Not a statue like Baz but not an great runner like Dex.
He just announced it on his Twitter. Seems the WR room is filling nicely.
I agree. Early in his recruitment he was considered a “Pro Style” QB with good mobility, at least that is what I have read coming out HS. We had better provide some pocket presence from the OL of more than 2 seconds. Not sure if he is true dual threat. May be wrong. That’s my hedge.
You can bet Bostad will have the OL providing protection and very good run blocking which will slow down the pass rush.
He ran for over 1,000 yards at the JUCO level. He has some wheels.
It looks like he has one year left but with his injury and COVID rules who really knows at this point. If the NCAA doesn't provide him with another year due to injury, then only the COVID year could be in play. I hope he commits to IU in time for Spring Practice.
He has been at Oregon State 3 years but only played in 4 games in 2020.Which means he didn’t use a year of eligibility so I ASSUME he has 2 years of eligibility remaining.
Before everyone starts criticism him lets give Chance a chance! LOL.
Agree on Bostad. Everything starts with the OL.
-protects the QB, less chance of injury, time to throw.(Penix at UW)
-opens holes for running backs (Henderson/Lucas)
-less 3 and outs, helps the defense with less time on the field.
Allens defense will be much better with a good OL.
Lets pump the break on Bostad being the answer to all that ails IU...
I dislike hiller immensely, but Bostad hasn't proven anything yet.
An even halfway decent line makes a world of difference. I’m not over the moon, but he doesn’t look worse than Baz. Hopefully he doesn’t get PTSD like Baz had.
Amen to that brother.
The last guy that got this much hype coming into a situation was a gentleman by the name of Jesus Christ, and that dude turned out to be the real deal!
Carey was making noticeable progress with the same OL hiller couldn't do crap with.
Bostad isn't Carey but he sure isn't hiller either based on resume.
“Noticeable difference” umm I disagree, but Hiller set an extremely low bar
Well you seem to be in the minority among those that watch the games
Feel free to give me a stat to support the “noticeable” difference
I was actually hoping that Rod Carey would've somehow been retained in that capacity. I thought he did one hell of a job in short order. Hopefully Bostad is at least comparable to Rod!
Well, we won a game where we only threw the ball twice in regulation
He is dual threat. He runs really nice. Not like Ramsey,but runs more like a wide receiver with a long gate. Real athletic looking
Neither our scheme nor the players up front will look anything like what BB had at Wisconsin. He coached guys who went into a S&C program that was geared toward a different result than ours, and they were a power running attack. We run a tempo spread that doesn’t really utilize a TE and features wider splits and lighter linemen. Great to have a proven Coach up there, but the proclamations of greatness when most didn’t even know who he was until a couple of weeks ago are more than a little premature.

Bostad has the reputation of being far better than most OL coaches in college ball.
We were also 14 points ahead of PU without a pass thrown ready to score again until Williams was injured. I hope IU takes a serious look at the field and shoes they wear to see why so many major injuries happen IE Knees, ACL, etc.
I think he’s underselling the impact of a QB that could run the ball and how that opened up the game… but 🤷🏽♂️
This isn’t accurate. We were ahead 7-3 at the half and then gave it up for good early in the third quarter. We scored very late to narrow the final margin to 14.
Talking about a likely IU win in that game upsets them almost as much as saying IU would likely have won the 2020 game if played.
If this is true, he needs to be part of every QB recruiting discussion.
Well that…and Allen’s defense looked awful again against Purdoo and this time, that stupid built-in excuse of running too fast an offense didn’t fly in that game. His defense just stunk, like it did for most of the year under him.
TD, I don’t disagree that I hoped Carey would stay in that role. But, from all I’ve heard and read, he didn’t want the gig. Likes the Analyst role. Don’t forget, he still has buyout money rolling in.
Don’t want to sound like I am making excuses but we did have a safety playing linebacker and a true freshman. True we were not good on defense last year.
A stat for blocking? Sorry I wasn't counting pancakes. But they looked better and based on posts at the time, it wasn't just my eyes noticing the difference
Well that, and we weren’t up 14 points. We were up four at the half.
Over 200 yards rushing vs MSU and PU.
Remove FCS Idaho, our last 3 games were our highest total rushing yards games and also largest YPC.
