What does a lame duck coach do for recruiting or transfer portal?

While the probability of making the tournament is looking to approximate zero, would we pull the trigger on Woody mid season to retain current players or stay in the running for future talent? I can't believe that the success of Pope at UK and McNeely being FOTW doesn't heat CMW's seat significantly.

Gotta think that Mac and Malik would be outta here after this year if we don't have post season simply based on trying to preserve their NBA hopes. What recruit is going to see this level talent and believe their NBA hopes will be boosted if Woodson was miraculously retained? I see zero chance Woody leaves voluntarily and if we don't backfill quickly, next year is house too.

Strength of schedule

It is obvious as I watch PSU destroy SMU and listen to those questioning IU's schedule strength,that something must be done to measure everyone's strength of schedule . Part of that might be just rewarding teams for whom they play out of conference and then track the number of wins those teams have and use that number as a reward or detriment to your team's overall strength. Yes, if everyone played 3 tough non conference teams, the 12 best teams might all have 3 losses. I would love to hear other possible ways to pick the 12 best teams in an era of giant conferences and unbalanced schedules. And before anyone complains, IU certainly deserved to be in thus year. SMU did not.

The real shame in the playoff format

The auto byes given to lower seeded Boise St and ASU. Had they just gone by straight rankings we would have had a home game against Boise and we would be likely heading to the Rose Bowl to play Oregon if we won. I hope that changes in the future. It has given Penn State an easier road to the semifinal than Oregon.

Backup QB

It will be interesting to see who wins the backup QB job in spring. Will it be the younger Mendoza brother or the higher rated Cherry? Mendoza has 2 years of eligibility so if the younger brother stays we could end up seeing 4 years of the Mendoza brothers starting

We also offered Jacob Bell out of the Chicago area who is in this year's class but is currently committed to Ball State. I would imagine he flips his commitment.

Trump to Panama if it doesn't lower its canal fees: "we will demand that the Panama Canal be returned to us, in full, and WITHOUT QUESTION."

lol

This announcement will surely have a decisive effect, much like when Michael Scott "declared" bankruptcy on The Office.

And what's w/the "without question"? lol I take it Trump intends to go down to Panama, overtake the Canal and turn around with his finger over his lips w a "shh!"

"without question" is moron wannabe strongman talk. Everything w Trump is carefully orchestrated to make the guy look like he doesn't have a thimble dick and shits himself on the hour.

But thank God Leon "People Skills" Musk owns us now. And all the Starlink satellites I see each night on my Stellar App flying across space. Really reassuring.
