That's the way I surmise IU's portal gets equal more positive possibilities than the portal departures. What should be contrarian about an upgraded roster, coaching staff and Coach Allen calling the D again? More spark this year for sure if the QB can make good decisions. Illinois on BTN Saturday. We'll see what they've got against the Cowboys who may offer a game.
Roster Turnover
- Thread starter daddyhoosier
- Start date
MSU had a great use of portal, and in IU’s case the player for player exchange is not even close, IU had almost 100% upgrades.
I think they have gotten rid of some bad attitudes and less than stellar players and gotten a legit talent upgrade across the board.

There were strong rumors of it at Auburn related to why an injury was never discussed with him and why he was away from the team for two games, as I’m sure you were aware.Plenty of smoke that it was a disciplinary issue.
From the Opeleika Auburn News article:
“Auburn running back Shaun Shivers, receiver Ja’Varrius Johnson and cornerback Jaylin Simpson will not be in action against Alabama State. Shivers was not seen during pregame warm-ups, while Johnson and Simpson were was on hand but were in street clothes.”
Just passing along what I have read and heard. Hope whatever troubles, if any, are behind him and that his year with us is a positive and productive one.

Two Tigers out for Auburn vs. Penn State
Auburn will be without two guys Saturday night against Penn State.

Looks like he was out due to injury.
Good talk.

In this case, there were rumors at AU that it meant something other than an injury. Since this article mentions nothing about an injury to SS, it probably adds some smoke to that belief. Hope that helps.
What, other than an injury or bereavement, would leave Shivers “unable to practice”?
I will assure you that at this level, a player who is missing multiple games due to a disciplinary issue is in fact practicing, and practicing harder than any other player on the team.
Please share/discuss these AU “rumors”. You don’t post as a pretend Tiger fan on their forums as well do you?
Just telling you what the rumors were at AU, specifically that he was “away from the team”.
You haven’t provided or shared what these “rumors” were supposedly saying.
Look genius, it’s not hard to connect the dots here.
Shivers absence from the team aligns perfectly with the global pandemic. Shivers inability to practice and his noted absence from the sideline on game day can be perfectly attributed to contracting COVID-19 and his isolation and quarantine explains his time away from the team. But you knew this already.
THREE players from Indiana? If we recruited the state half as well as Wisconsin and Iowa do theirs, we’d pick up 3 more wins a season. Yes I’m aware we compete against Purdue and Notre Dame but ND take maybe 1-2 per year from the State and we just have to get 50% of the remaining ones. We couldn’t even beat out Ball State for Carson Steele because we thought our RBs were a game changers. Carson Sttele and Spiegel would have helped us beat Nebraska and Maryland. Instead we end up with guys who make a big play or two followed by a lot of 3 and outs. A football player os better than a guy who plays football and looks good on paper.
