Workout 3rd hand info

Talked to a buddy down here at Adidas event, that is close enough to program to have spent some time with the coaches the last couple days…

Anyway, he’s hearing (not from the coaches), but through others, that Tucker is looking like the best player on the team right now.

Take that for what it’s worth. We’re used to offseason hype like this. The significance, to me, is that when thinking of this team, Tucker is a guy I often forget about. Usually focusing on Rice, Carlyle, Ballo, Mack, Reneau, etc… if there’s a kid that even might be better than all those guys?… just underscores how good a job Woody did filling the roster at season’s end.

The Trump/divine intervention talk is terrifying.

UTFO
Last night was such a disgusting display of idolatry. Shame on you GOP.

The black pastor who said god saved Trump described God as if he was an MMA fighter. And then Dana White Kid Rock Hulk Hogan? lol

Guys....c'mon, already. I can't believe I have so many grown up friends and relatives who expect me to teach my daughters that MAGA is USA's only hope.

That thing last night was just so bizarre. Never thought I'd see anything like it in the USA.

And don't give me the Biden nonsense. Biden is an infirmed old man, period. He's not a malignant narcissist with 60,000,000 crazies behind him.

Atlantis: Arizona, Davidson, Gonzaga, Louisville, Oklahoma, Providence, and West Virginia

Woodson:
“My staff and I put together a non-conference schedule that will lead to long-term success this season. We have a new team this year that we are excited to showcase in front of the sold-out crowds in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

We will be tested by some veteran, well-coached ball clubs early in the season that will prepare us for a 20-game conference schedule. We are looking forward to playing in one of the best in-season tournaments in our game in the Battle 4 Atlantis. The matchups, no matter how they fall, will create a great test for our team.”

Roster makeup

I was looking at the Roster and it appears we only have 21 scholarship guys on the team that were recruited out of high school by IU from the 2020,2021, 2022, and 2023 classes. That is a lot of guys that have left over the last 4 years. Some of the 2020 class may have graduated.
With 17 guys in the Freshman class, that leaves 47 transfers, less a couple of walk-ons that got scholarships later. No wonder that I do not recognize any of the names
The transfer portal needs some fine tuning.

Bad reporting

BradStevens
So we now have had two questionable stories out there, one involving Hamas, the other involving Israel.

First, the baby beheadings report looks to be untrue.

www.bostonglobe.com

In the battle between Israel and Hamas, another potent weapon — propaganda - The Boston Globe

From news reports to the White House, an unverified story about Hamas atrocities made truth another casualty of war.

“Beheaded Babies” Report Spread Wide and Fast — but Israel Military Won’t Confirm It

The Israel Defense Forces could not confirm a horrific claim that Hamas beheaded babies during a weekend assault, a spokesperson for the military told The Intercept.
theintercept.com theintercept.com

Surely, the evidence--pics, eye witness testimony, etc. would be out there by now. If it were real, Israel would be justified in doing just about anything. And it looks like Biden might have lied or misremembered or misspoke when he said he saw a picture or video of decapitated children.

www.nbcnews.com

White House clarifies Biden's claim he saw photos of terrorists beheading children in Israel-Hamas war

After the comments, the White House clarified that Biden had read news reports.
www.nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com

Second, the report of the IDF's bombing of a hospital and killing 500 was also clearly fabricated.

It's concerning that both were reported by the various major media outlets without proper vetting. Everyone makes mistakes, of course, but in this situation, I feel like these kinds of mistakes could lead to more deaths on one side or the other as people become enraged by the latest outrageous reported action. Maybe the news agencies need to slow down a bit? Get more editors and skeptical eyes looking at a story?

Indiana Football’s Bomba Selected for AFCA Good Works Team

Jim Coyle
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The American Football Coaches Association announced on Wednesday (July 17) that Indiana football redshirt-junior James Bomba has been nominated for the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team. Established in 1992, the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team recognizes college football athletes for their unwavering commitment to community service and their “good works” off the field. This year’s 178 nominees champion causes including mental health awareness, youth mentorship, hunger relief, domestic abuse prevention, and many more. In addition to being actively involved with a charitable organization or service group, each player must also maintain strong academic standing to be considered for a spot on the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team.

Of his many volunteer opportunities, Bomba has spent his time on a volunteer mission trip to the Dominican Republic with Indiana football and Score International. He is also active with Habitat for Humanity, Boys and Girls Club of Bloomington, Hoosier Ticket Project and the program’s Holiday Toy Drive. He has also served as a volunteer coach for football and men’s basketball at Bloomington South High School. He has also teamed up with GO Bloomington to help the organization promote better mobility options and Stop the Violence Indianapolis, Inc., which acts as a catalyst for social change – empowering people to take action with the greater Indianapolis area to ensure safety, justice, accountability and healing for people whose lives are affected by violence and poverty.

On the field, Bomba redshirted his first season on campus and appeared in 20 games with 10 starts over the last two campaigns. The tight end owns 11 receptions for 75 yards (6.8 ypr) and one touchdown. His first collegiate touchdown came on a 3-yard catch in the third quarter against Michigan State to knot the score at 14-14. A third-generation Indiana football letterman, Bomba follows in the footsteps of his father, Matt Bomba, a walk-on that earned a scholarship between 1990-92, and both grandfathers, Brad Bomba (1954-56) and Bob VanPelt (1964-66) who were scholarship football student-athletes at IU.
