Seems strange while in the playoffs. But I guess the portal closes before the playoffs end.
I hate this. Has to be some sort of distraction at a time everyone needs to be focused on a common goal. And it sure seems like he’d be in line for a significant playing time increase for next year. Even though we’ve been a huge beneficiary this year, the portal and NIL both suck.

They'll be his equal to pluck from .
Maybe better..I'm with you on the portal and NIL..Both need limitations ...
I wish Green had more PT this year. He normally looked good and had good instincts, scored some TD's. He should have played more next year with Ellison an Lawton moving on. Doggone it.
His Dad is former Jets player Victor Green.

Green was the fastest runner in the RB room. This doesn't make sense on its face.
It makes sense to me, at least how I understand all this to work. Unless an NIL deal can, or does, say something about not transferring, all players can basically become unrestricted free agents every season.
Right, I was wondering why Green would leave an obvious good spot for next year giving up a sure thing for a possibility.

Only thing I can figure is Khobie Martin must be in line to be the #2 or 3 next year plus I’m getting the notion the kid from UAB is headed our way too.
Sooo…didn’t want to be in the 4-spot again???

I get that he was fast and in his limited carries he really stood out but let's all remember, he was number 4 on the depth chart for a reason. No, we don't know the reason. Maybe he sucked at pass protection, maybe he didn't work hard enough in practice or maybe he is good and just wants to go to a place where he thinks he can get more playing time.
One thing Cig and staff has shown all year, they put the players on the field who they feel are best suited to get the job done. There is no shortage of talent and guys with chips on their shoulders in the portal right now and I'm sure there will be enough interest in IU and with what we've done this year and we clearly have the NIL to work with.

No way. Green was much better than Martin from what I saw. I thought Green looked better than Lawton, a lot of times.
Green flashed whenever he got the opportunity; I certainly wish he'd reconsider.
He should've had more snaps. He's good. He was more of a long run threat than a couple guys ahead of him. If I got zero snaps in four or five games during a season, I'd move on too. And I can't play a lick.
Maybe he has no hands. I thought his blocking looked good, but maybe it wasn't. Clearly his running was solid.
But the coaches will do fine. Just another guy they need to find now. At least RB should be a somewhat affordable position.

No idea how he practiced. Fourth on the depth chart has to say something. Not sure what. I thought he looked better than others at times and figured he'd lead next year. In Cig we trust. Go Hoosiers!
Out of curiosity, what access do you have that gave you a view of Martin?
With Green leaving, Indiana has their eyes set on the portal, namely UCLA TJ Harden, Louisiana Dre Washington, UAB Lee Beebe (visiting Friday) & others.
Only conjecturing. Martin only saw the field twice in garbage duty against W. ILL and Charlotte, preserving the Redshirt. I doubt any of us knows what he was showing in practice.
I do wish Green had gotten more touches. He was a pinball and highlight clip waiting to happen when he was in there.
I wonder if it was playing time, not enough money given to him, or something else. I agree those fresh running backs ready to play the fourth quarter seemed to really help us.
Likely this is just the future via nil
Word I've gotten is that it wasn't his choice, but I don't know the reasons why behind it.
Well now, no choice in the matter certainly influences conjecture. Whispers amplify volume to a dull roar, my momma always used to say. Yes, she did.
Disappointing news; has he left the team or is he practicing for the ND game?
Maybe a gamble to get a little bigger piece of NIL $ for 2k25.
It’s too bad. Green, out of all of our RBs, hit the hole quicker than any back we had including Lawton and Ellison. He had game speed that was a level above the others. Even in the UCLA game, the announcers talked about Green just being on a different level as far as burst. I had him tabbed as our starting guy next year. It’s a loss. We’ll get someone and I trust Cignetti to find the right guy. Hell, the kid that blew up this year at Arizona State (Skattebo) was at the FCS level for 2 years. Now he’s a 1st team All-American. There are kids everywhere.
The UAB kid looks like an absolute load of a RB. His numbers speak to Cignetti's production over stars approach.
That said, I thought Green looked like the real deal...sucks.

I'd love to know if he's gone already or still practicing? Surely someone knows the answer to that simple question and could help us out around here.
Here's his bio on the official roster site:
I'd say that's a bad sign...
Looks like he's gone...
