I NEED A COMMITMENT!!!
- Thread starter Kelly_32
- Start date
Need an impact OL, maybe an elite DT, and a name QB (Fernando looks good enough)
Have two quality RBs, new Aussie punter, new QB coach.

We've already got 2 DT from the portal this year.
Maybe we'll get another, but I don't think it's high on the staffs list of needs.
Yeah, those guys may or may not turn out to be C. J. West, high bar, but look like good players
If your question about years left was referring to Cherry, he still has 3years of eligibility.
Cherry & Young Mendoza are true freshman & retained their red-shirt eligibility this year, thus giving them 4 more years.
Historically under Locksley, Maryland always seems to have quite a few guys leave. He has a good recruiting base in the D.C area but they’ve had an average of 25 guys a year transfer out each year.
No, I didn't write it so well. I meant Mendoza if he comes, how long would Cherry and young Mendoza have to wait.
We'll probably lose one pretty quick if they didn't win the spot. Eventually it would be good if Cig shows he can home grow QBs in the Big Ten, otherwise recruits eventually won't come.
Georgia has entered the chat on Mendoza. I hope we have a plan b. Not sure we can compete money wise with GA.
IU needs to or else just shut the program down. If IU wants to be the best it needs to pay with the best.
I thought Georgia was all in on that Gunner kid,the fans were saying he’s better than Beck lol
It’s interesting that they were both on the same staff and know each other pretty well with Cig recruiting guys who played under Kirby as the DC. Now, 15 years later, are going head to head in a recruiting war.
The only edge we have going for us is that here Mendoza is a nearly certain starter who'll get a three warmup games before taking on his first real test in playing Illinois here...
At Georgia he gets 2 warmup games before he gets to play his first SEC game at TN..., followed up by playing AL at GA... If they drop one of those two games he's on the bench watching Georgia born and Georgia bred Gunnar Stockton play QB the rest of the way out... (who has a 78% completion rate for the 2024 regular season)...
At Georgia he might even have a tough time beating out the in state guy during Spring and Fall camps... The local boy will have had 3 plus years in the system and will already be the Lead Dog within the Team... Who do you think the locker room will gravitate towards, the new guy originally from Miami, FL or the guy from Georgia who's been there for 3+ years?
Here he's the full season starter, there he's an expensive insurance policy...
Hope he can see that...
