Pat Coogan

Just saw that.

🤷🏻‍♂️
I’m torn. I will happily take Spindler, but we seem to be stacking IOL. If the staff believes he or Benson can bump outside then I like it even more. If not, for the money though, I would almost rather go after Camper and have one of the most dangerous receiving groups in the country… then again you can never have too many big uglies!

Benson played a little RT last time around... He's potentially versatile...
 
Is Rocco next?
From Sports Illustrated a few hours ago:

“The Michigan Wolverines are reportedly going to miss on two massive transfer portal targets, according to the latest reporting from On3. After missing out on Notre Dame transfer OL Pat Coogan on Friday, it now seems as though Michigan is out of the running for Rocco Spindler as well. The Notre Dame transfer OL is reportedly shutting down his visits, and he's yet to make the trip to Ann Arbor. However, Spindler has made visits to Indiana, Nebraska, Pitt and Virginia.

With Indiana landing Spindler's teammate on Friday, you've got to wonder if the Hoosiers are the team to beat for two former Notre Dame offensive linemen at this point.”
 
This year's roster looks loaded. Indiana is bringing back 3 AA on defense alone!! Offensively, they've added key additions in Mendoza, Coogan, several splashy WRs, the big Tennessee TE and Beebe at RB.

Indiana will show the Big Ten in their opener by thumping Illinois. Mendoza will have a monster season; I would put the floor at 8 wins. That said, I predict 10 wins and possibly a CFP spot.

This roster does appear better than last year's.
 
Unless something massive happens, he's not coming here.

Too bad... He looked like he could make our inside running game really tough to stop if teamed up with Coogan... It'd be nice if the movers and $hakers would direct even more of their financial interest in that intramural basketball group over towards the FOOTBALL TEAM...

To semi-paraphrase Patton, I'm betting Cignetti is looking at that basketball cash outlay and thinking:
"Give me that cash and I'll win recruiting battles with it..., I'll Win Games With It!" 😉🤣



Have we shown any interest at all in Zander's brother (the G from UNLV) or is he even still available in the Portal? If he has any actual talent he would seem to be able to add some quality OL depth on the inside (G/C)...

Then again..., if he's not better than the depth we already have I guess there's no point...

I now trust Cignetti and Bostad when it comes to personnel decisions implicitly, so no worries...

Iowa, Illinois fans and the rest think IU will take step back. The first 3 B1G games will tell us if this is true. So far I think our roster might be better than last year.
It is going to be hard to go 10-0 and 11-1 again. Look at o$i, Georgia and the likes.
If we go 9-3 or even 8-4 it does not necessarily mean we are "stepping back". Schedule always plays a big part. GoHoosiers

This is because of us, not him.
