Julian Lewis will be at Michigan Game

[OpenWheels]

I'll make a wager Tayven wins the job. Since he's just one guy against many in the QB universe I'd want small odds, maybe 3 to 2 ?

Tayven has the ability. If Cig and Sunseri are whisperers, as touted, Tayven will be ready. Unless he's not got 'it', which is a cross between feel and knowledge. It's true there are even some first round NFL quarterbacks who don't appear to have 'it'. But with good coaching, Tayven should be ready.

Cignetti hasn't seemed sold on Jackson from jump street. What is Jackson missing, experience or something else??

Bball only “fan”?

Yes - he is. Any critique of Woody’s program and he goes off the rails.

Not to disagree with you, but to me Tayven just needs more experience & confidence in play-progression which comes with being #1.

 

[olympian97]

These extra practices should help Tayven. Hopefully we put away the boilers early and he can get another half of game experience. By fall next year he will be over 18 months under Cignetti. I think the improvement will be there.

Cignetti hasn't seemed sold on Jackson from jump street. What is Jackson missing, experience or something else??t than Rourk. Only has to learn to make the reads properly and on time.

Cig said early on that he was intrigued to see what they could do with Jackson. I think he likes him, just wanted more experience. We will see next year. Jackson has much better feet he just needs to learn to make the reads in time.

There may be a different (not JuJu) HS QB flip possibility (not a 5star), but again, I expect a portal QB also. I wouldn’t count Tayven out, but the best QB will play, competition at the most important spot isn’t a bad thing. Steel sharpens steel as they say

 

[td75]

Let's don't forget about Tyler Cherry. He was a 4* QB out of high school, too. I'm sure Cignetti has big plans for him!!

 

[From the Balcony]

Jackson makes the wrong read over half the time; Rourke probably makes the correct read >80% of the time.
Jackson throws a prettier ball, but he has no idea where it's coming down.
If coaching can correct both of those, he has a shot next year. If not, he ain't it. I'm sure the coaches know already.

The last paragraph pertaining to JuJu, states that Cignetti and Indiana are still in the race...

With this kind of season happening, I don't worry about who IU will bring in. If Lewis doesn't buy into IU then we will get a very good QB in that class.

Trust me , we are no longer recruiting JuJu

A potential flip is Colton Gumino, 6-2, 195, dual QB who is committed to UCLA. He's from a western Chicago suburb, Arlington Heights, Ill. & having a fantastic senior year with other majors showing interest. He has yet to visit Indiana but that will change.

Moreno has jumped Cherry on the depth chart

Jackson appears to have the physical requirements but lacks the mental. That should, could come with experience, time will tell.

Nor should we be, enough drama already.

Do you mean Mendoza?

Sure

when did that happen

 

[kraft cheese+macaroni]

when did that happen

Not definitive, but I want to say that when TJ played the 2nd half vs. NEB and we were in mop up time, that he was warmingn up to potentially go in while CHerry was not. I've heard others say Cherry has been passed too, so I guess it's maybe just conjecture on my part.

 

[OpenWheels]

Reported for several days now but Michigan is supposedly flipping top QB 5-star Bryce Underwood from LSU.

Michigan's academic reputation is the deciding factor.

Hahaha... No, supposedly it was for 5 million bucks, but that was yesterday, now the number reported is 10 million over multiple years. Wow. High school kids turning instant multiple-millionaire. Good for them, but it will be wild to see what ends up sustainable. I can't see an end to it, courts have spoken, will a salary cap hold up?

What would Tayven get, without having played much? Sorsby got $250K they say.

 

[red hornet]

I heard Sorby received 600K, an apt. & a car leased.

These kids better save this $$$ because lots of them will never sniff it again.

 

[OpenWheels]

And he's played well for them. Gonna go up?

 

[Kelly_32]

And he's played well for them. Gonna go up?

Or he leaves for a better program and even more money.

This could be a game of "who's on first", but I'm pretty sure Cherry was the first QB to replace TJ in that 77 pt game. Regardless both freshman probably have a while to get on the field.

 

[hoosier roadtrips]

I remember his first game. He was spectacular. The biggest waste of such a special talent, never even made a bowl game.

The last season for him wss 2001. We got off to a terrible start and lost the first five. Then we got rolling and won five of the last six, but needed to win all six. One publication had us in the top 30 and the last half of that season we played like it.

Yeah, I believe that was the year Cam tried to play Antwaan at WR and ended up switching him back to QB part way through the season. I was actually on campus as a student during those years.

My wife and I went to NC State to open the season, and that was a disaster.

Against a sophomore QB named Philip Rivers.

So does this mean it was more Cignetti's fault than Cam's?

Well, why wouldn’t you take one of the most dynamic quarterbacks in NCAA history and change his position when you have that gunslinger Tommy Jones on the bench? 😂… I could be wrong on this, but I believe Tommy Jones had a career completion percentage below 50%.

It was Mendoza. Cherry didn’t play.

According to the participation report on the IU athletics website Cherry did play. As I recall he came in first handed off once or twice then left and Mendoza came out last.

One of the scoring plays was with the true frosh WR Charlie Becker on an end around.

I think Charlie Becker is going to be a very good WR for Indiana. Can't wait to see him develop!

He looked pretty quick on that play
