Idea for those great at researching

[IndyIUFan66]

When can, would be cool to see say over the last 2-3 seasons, how those LEAVING IU via transfer portal have fared? So the WR at Pitt, Ivory Winters at SE Missou, Ramsey at NU, Cronk, Cole Gest, Norris, etc.

The Ramsey/Cronk's of world, true 5th yr seniors who have played are one level. Many/most of the others I am not so sure will pan out or will end up at a much smaller school/conference.

Conversely, would also be good to see how the transfer portal tranfers TO IU work out too. Example: Elliott was a home run on DL pick up. Hoping Swann will have an impact on DL this year ahead. But haven't we had those who didn't do what we had hoped as well?

Purely interesting to see overall? And how IU looks on the add/subtract ledger in terms of production.

That would be interesting.
It would likely take, along with a lot of effort, subscriptions to several paid services

This is as far as I can get without going through 247 and researching every commit that I fail to recognize the name. **EDIT-- The formatting is weird on how it posts vs. how it looks drafted. First is the year they transferred, second is the year they were signed, 3rd is destination, 4th is results.**

Good info. From quick looks of it, IU has only had one somewhat significant transfer out prior to this season - Taysir Mack - who then did well at Pitt. Actually hoping/fine if Cronk and Ramsey have great years this year at IA & NU.

Per incoming transfers, Elliott, recent QB, hopefully Swann ahead. I'd say we are not really losing key players (save for Cronk/Ramsey this year) and not enough transfers in to have huge impact yet, but this season the DL may show exactly how they can help.

People who transfer out do open up spots for the future, which if they aren't able to crack line up, is good for the program.

Looking ahead, could see another 2-3 who may not crack depth chart that if want to actually play college FB, may end up leaving in the future. It's the circle of life in college FB. And IU's current momentum is working in IU's favor it seems to me.

If I am reading this correctly, predominantly they went to smaller programs.

For my money, the best thing out of looking into this is that the people that were lost were all able to be replaced by at least equal talent. And good for the ones like Tronti (who looks to be a starter at the tail end of his career), Devonte Williams (who I think said was all-conference at SLU), and Mack (the one who got away).

And although I didn't look up all the incoming transfers, first to mind are the DT from Syracuse (Samuels) who gave IU an experienced big body on the DL & Nick Linder (OL) as grad transfers who came in and produced or at least helped a ton with depth. I'm sure there have been traditional transfers that have panned out too, but I'm drawing a blank.

Everyone except Mack.

What's really crazy is that Natee ended up retiring for medical reasons (I read). He was productive in his Bacon 'n' Legs package with Diamont in the B1G, but wasn't able to have that happen at a lower level.

Just goes to show how fragile we all are, even elite athletes.

Tyler Natee - damn, what a fun yet short ride that was...

Taysir Mack is legit. That one was a surprise when he left. Thankfully we had good depth at WR

As I recall his production was very short-lived. As soon as people realized it was too slow to turn the corner that was it for him.
