Four-star 2026 LB visit reaction

Caught up with 2026 Ohio four-star Cam Thomas after his visit to IU this weekend. The Hoosiers made a big impression on him.

"The buzz around the program is clear," Thomas said. "The fanbase seems very passionate about having a winning program. My tweets have been going crazy with replies and messages from the IU fanbase. I appreciate the love. Also they made sure I was taken care of while on the visit, my chaperones were great and I was able to meet with the coaching staff before and after the game."

The staff made it very clear to Thomas that he's a top priority for the 2026 class. He speaks often with the linebackers coaches and they constantly preach how he'll be utilized early if he picked them. Thomas definitely has IU on the short list of potential official visits this spring/summer. He'd like to be committed this summer or sooner.

With success comes...

Hard work. I'm not talking about the team, I'm talking about site preparation for the B1G Tailgate Show, Big Noon Kickoff, and now...College Gameday. As an alum and lifelong fan of IU Football/Basketball (men AND women)/Baseball/Soccer, I can't be happier when we succeed and get recognition. As someone that is also ultimately responsible for these pregame/game broadcasts working as intended, it causes some non-fan heartburn lol. Each iteration of pregame is more demanding, so as you sit on your couch or crowd the pregame stage to get on camera, remember there are many hard working IU employees that contribute to making it happen. I'm not complaining (never daunted), we have the *best* people working behind the scenes to make it all possible. GO IU!

Mike Greenburg was complaining about IU being ranked ahead of Alabama

says if the met on a neutral field Bama would be favored by 2 touchdowns, I think that may be a little extreme but would concede Bama would be a prohibitive favorite, following his logic should Las Vegas do the polls instead of the ap and coaches? F the SEC, we beat UCLA on the road by more than LSU did at home
