If you can't compete...much less win...might as well shoot for something that might be salvageable.

Not even remotely accurate. You dodged another I on the chain.
Clearly the '22 class has left a mark. Say hi to ordy for us, assuming he hasn't offed himself over this.
And...., it was Actually a Lot worse than the Score... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't have a problem with the new norm in college athletics.
Coaches get paid ungodly amounts of money now a days. Athletes should be able to look out for themselves because in the end, they are the ones being used to benefit the coaches and universities for financial gain.
We fans are by nature selfish because we root for our team. When things are going well, 8-5 and 6-2 we don't complain. 2-10, the wheels are falling off. It's a fans nature.
PUke fans are the WORST kind if people. Smh
I wasn't disagreeing with you overall just making sure I understood what you meant. My mind might be stuck in the past but to me a 'nickle back' is not the same as having a third corner out there. I think of a nickle back as a corner-safety hybrid but I suppose it depends on your scheme. Point being I don't ever recall seeing Reese do anything but play corner.
I'm not sure I wouldn't rather have Williams out there as the second corner but obviously loosing that depth and experience is not ideal. I would add that our base look is Nickle (4 DBs plus the Husky) so being the number 3 corner isn't / wouldn't have been that big of a deal because he is - or would have still been - part of the best 11. So I was just trying to clarify, not trying to doubt you or anything. Thanks.
As to Purdue faking covid to avoid playing Indiana, that's probably taking it a bit too far but I doubt they went out of there way to make the game happen. I think a lot of teams last year just basically said meh, we don't care about this year. Teams like Indiana that kept playing and taking the season seriously benefited from teams like Michigan State who clearly had no craps given. Not really a commentary on who was right or wrong, just my assessment of what happened.
Is that the portal class that contains 2 or 3 guys who had trouble getting and/or staying on the field for IU?
My understanding is that the home team announced they would not be hosting a game.
He is going to Purdue. Just announced. So **** him. I say thank you for 4 great years. I wish Reece nothing but success... after the season next year. I hope his year at Purdue is terrible.
I still say our win- loss record improves next year by 50% and we get to 3 wins. Progress…
And that’s saying a lot from our team. Did we even beat a BCS team this year?
I thank him for his contribution, wish him all the best in life, and hope he is never welcomed to set foot on our athletic campus again.
He play at IU next November so he’ll be back on campus.
They didn’t beat them because they didn’t play them Einstein.
Good riddance. If you’re leaving Indiana for Purdue, you were never 100% invested. Guys like that hold a program back.
Didn’t want him to leave, liked his effort for IU, and ultimately wish him well.
Have nonpronlem Hopi g IU crushed PU at IU next season and we burn RT for 4 long bombs and he has a terrible final regular season game vs the Hoosiers.

What? That Purdue trolls continue to poke around? Gtfoh. He didn’t get the playing time. Who knows what’s going to do at PUke. He nay thrive or bust. Who tf knows.
Were they really that good? They beat a lot of bad teams and beat a few overrated teams. Reminds me of Indiana 2019.
Here's hoping they have him running back Kickoffs for them... That one he caught in the end-zone, had no visible blocking set up in front of him and went ahead and brought out anyway (all the way to about the 5 😖), still sticks in my craw... Made me wonder if a gambler hadn't gotten to him... Not saying that was the case but that was one of the absolute worst decisions I saw made in college football last season...
I thank him for his efforts here (although, come to think of it, most of his big plays were made from the trailing position, on underthrown balls [seriously] ), and wish him the absolute worst of all things concerning football while at p u...
Things changeYou're right but from what I've seen he's one of our better tacklers which is the most important quality a FS can possess (in my opinion)...
Having shown that he can play the position at a high level would seem to only enhance his NFL value...

Here's one view of how an NFL scout should evaluate a FS prospects:
How Do Scouts Break Down NFL Safety Prospects?
The one question I'm asked most by readers, Twitter followers and prospective writers is, "How do you break down NFL prospects?" It is also one of the toughest questions to answer in a tweet or quick email exchange...www.google.com
All that said, you're right that's he's undersized but it's the size of the fight in the dog and if Taylor were a dog he'd be a Pit-bull...
Agree about O’Connell.
I don’t think Purdue was all that good per se, but they definitely hit their potential. MSU was overrated (we should have won that game) and Iowa was severely overrated (we certainly know that it’s hard to make a living off of takeaways).
At the end of the day, they won their close games (Or St, Illini, Neb) in a way reminiscent of 2019 IU. And that’s the difference between being home for the holidays and going bowling.
Tbh, I had iu winning 7 and Purdue winning 6 this year. I really missed. If iu can figure out the OC spot, Purdue and iu could be good at the same time. Both seem to be on upward trends. Both just brought in solid classes.
This is exactly what we need. A competitive game. Field Goal with seconds left type games. Consistent 6-10 win teams.
I wish the kid nothing but nothing.
True Hoosiers never even consider pigfarmer u and vice versa. The way it should be.

I'd prefer 11-0 against 0-11 but I'm probably clinical.
It’s a big loss. I suspect he wants to be a primary corner, to help his NFL chances. And he must think PU gives him a better chance to do that.
He won’t get more “exposure”…IU being in the B10 East would give him more of that probably.
Their team will probably be a little better. But it’s not like they’ll contend for any sort of championships or anything. So I doubt that’s it.
It can’t be that he doesn’t like LEO. It’s magical and everyone just loves it so much. A bit of sarcasm there… Though I do doubt it’s that he doesn’t like his team or the environment at IU.
This one’s probably easy. Best school that’s close to home that gives him most time at a primary corner spot.

Maybe, but what would cause you to transfer to your school’s second biggest rival? Seems odd.
