Like the idea that our kicker is good at both FGs and kick-offsFG's-10/12(1 block) For 2023 season
2-2 outside 50yds.
16-17 XP's(1 block)
23-37 touchbacks
Right, and Derrick McCormick's FG % is better than our previous kicker....a plus.Cig has managed to put a highly experienced roster together.
Evans is back for his senior yr.Is Evans back or do we need to find a punter?
Maybe he is one of those that C3 talked about. One that bought into the negative, therefore he didn't want him back.I don't see that Chris Freeman has landed anywhere. I hope for him he didn't screw up by not staying. I would've been fine with him coming back. McCormick's stats look OK though. I'll trust the staff for getting the best guy.
Or, maybe not.Maybe he is one of those that C3 talked about. One that bought into the negative, therefore he didn't want him back.
Unless you absolutely wanted out from IU, they should have at least waited until they got a feel for the coach and assistants. They could have held onto their spot until they made a decision. Or see what teams had true interest in their ability.So what happens with all the guys in the portal who don’t find a new home?
It sure seems if you don’t have something in the bag already, you have up as scholarship for no reason
Nobody would contact somebody not yet in the portal, would they?!Unless you absolutely wanted out from IU, they should have at least waited until they got a feel for the coach and assistants.

I think IU will keep them on scholarship, per the 'Student Bill of Rights'.So what happens with all the guys in the portal who don’t find a new home?

It does seem like that. But we probably need at least 44 starters, two deep at every position. Then and kicker, punter, long snapper and we are pushing 50 guys. Some of the second team should play special teams but we may need a few specialists there as well.Cig has managed to put a highly experienced roster together.
I can see this from both sides. But I think the bottom line is, with NIL, the college game is now a “cards on top of the table business” and not being reoffered is just part of business.I think IU will keep them on scholarship, per the 'Student Bill of Rights'.
And I don't think entering the Portal means you're automatically taken off the team or scholarship.
Yeah he was top five out of high school depending on who you believe. Good punter too according to kicking camp reviews, which all rated him highly as p5 college potential as a fg kicker.Don't we have a high rated kicker on the roster that redshirted last year, Radicic?
No one other than perhaps Michigan.Nobody would contact somebody not yet in the portal, would they?!
It does seem like a line to cross but it is such big business now….. I am sure it is done.Nobody would contact somebody not yet in the portal, would they?!
Well, they know all the signs somebody is ready to enter.No one other than perhaps Michigan.

It's very easy to have a friend of a friend of a friend, slip a card to a player or his parents and say...Nobody would contact somebody not yet in the portal, would they?!
Can the "Student Bill of Rights" be terminated ?I think IU will keep them on scholarship, per the 'Student Bill of Rights'.

It's my understanding that unless Cignetti decides to renew their scholarship, they're gone... Falls under: "be careful what you wish for..." Not all "screw this s--t I'm entering the Portal", snap decisions are good decisions...I think IU will keep them on scholarship, per the 'Student Bill of Rights'.
And I don't think entering the Portal means you're automatically taken off the team or scholarship.
I don't think that's how it works.
They chose to leave, so they don't have a scholarship here anymore.
Your correct that they aren't automatically off the team if they enter the portal, but it's totally up to Cig whether he would want that player back or not.
Once they enter are they essentially free agents?This could get legalistic, but does entering the portal constitute voluntarily leaving the program? If it does, then I can see that the Student Bill of Rights wouldn't apply. But if it doesn't, and he's involuntarily dropped from the program, and the player decides he want to continue his education at IU, then I think it would. Would probably require a player taking it to court to find out.
The Student Bill of Rights wouldn't address the portal. I'd say unless something has been added, the coach would determine if the player is brought back. The coach shouldn't be held captive by waiting for the player to determine where they are going.
Coach Cig seems like a guy that would look at performance and attitude and not hesitate to let a kid move on. I'm glad we can start fresh with our no heart OL and only try to bring back those we want.
If they choose to step in the portal they need invited back by the new coach.I think IU will keep them on scholarship, per the 'Student Bill of Rights'.

I agree, and the Student Bill of Rights was implemented before NIL. So, maybe players can be cut if they enter the Portal.I can see this from both sides. But I think the bottom line is, with NIL, the college game is now a “cards on top of the table business” and not being reoffered is just part of business.
Don't know, but I haven't heard of it being terminated.Can the "Student Bill of Rights" be terminated ?
