We will be okay I think. Dawkins, Penix, Ramsey, special packages for Taylor, and walk on Johnny Pabst. 5 dual threats. They fit much better than Tronti did. Great guy, but wildly inconsistent.Fairly predictable.
When you are listed as 3rd all last fall, have a true freshman come in and move past you in the Spring..., along with a grad transfer coming in the fall and pushing you down to 4th on the roster, the writing on the wall is easily readable...
Sounds like a great guy who may be disappointed but has no hard feelings...
I wish him well...
Buzzed posting?Wow...this is big news wtf? Mr florida football is leaving? Damn i hope these f*ckin coaches know what they are doing. I know a highly touted recruit from Indiana that has indiana way down on the list. Didnt even like the visits. Kinda disturbing. Im at better kick a$$ this year or gtfo. Everyone loved Tronti from all the reports last year and now this?
Ohh gee sorry if I offended you. Whats good about Tronti leaving?Buzzed posting?

Well for the first time in a long time we had a qb stable and now we have a depleted???? I understand things happen but you dont run someone off. I honestly thought this kid would see the field this year.Penix is a 4-star, Ramsey was already ahead of him as is 5th year AZ transfer. Tronti appears to be making the move on his own accord.
And the one IN HS QB who had a bad visit? Who knows how mutual the interest? Or if just not for him?
We are seeing (Jonah Morris too someone posted?) others leaving but far as I can tel, not one was a soon to be starter, but rather guys limey frustrated at their position on depth chart. TThats their right to leave for chance to play elsewhere (usually a smaller school than IU) but see no reason to suggest Allen & staff doing anything wrong other than bringing in good players that is making the competition to play that much harder.
Well, for starters, it’s good for him, he didn’t have the arm strength or the athleticism to be effective at this level. He saw the hand writing on the wall, so he wants to move on to a place where he has a chance to play. Obviously a classy young man, I wish him wellOhh gee sorry if I offended you. Whats good about Tronti leaving?
Yes I hyped him! Why not, tebow comparisons coming out of florida? Anyways the news from the highly ranked stud recruit kinda blew me away. Ill get more info and pass it along.Are the fellow who kept hyping Tronti last fall...?
He wants to play and he's moving to greener pastures. Be happy for him...
He sounds like a mature young man who's dealing with disappointment well...

The QB room is not depleted, and no one was “run off”.Well for the first time in a long time we had a qb stable and now we have a depleted???? I understand things happen but you dont run someone off. I honestly thought this kid would see the field this year.
And you are correct.He's ranked number 4 in what's (currently) a 3 man race...
He accepted the reality of that and decided to head to somewhere he might have a better shot at being the starter... That's hardly being "run off"... Reads like purely his decision...
How do you know?The QB room is not depleted, and no one was “run off”.
No matter what I say, you are going to believe whatever you want right?How do you know?
How do you know?
Idk...Im not in the qb room. All i can comment on are from things ive read. The kid was a stud last year according to many reports. Penix comes in and maybe Penix is that good? But if im the qb coach i keep grooming Tronti, why not. If we go through 2 qb's tbhis year due to injury then what?No matter what I say, you are going to believe whatever you want right?
So why waste my time, but trust me, this is best for him and he seems to understand ,and be fine with that. You should take HIS word for it.

Anyways youve all convinced me all is well in hoosier land...
Just curious, what “reports” were there last year that Tronti was a “stud” ? Penix btw is that good. Currently, we have Ramsey, Dawkins and Penix , it would be unusual to go through 3 QB’s (I know Maryland did, but as I said ,unusual).Idk...Im not in the qb room.

It sounds like you are making statements and creating innuendos on a public forum without actually having any knowledge to back up what you are saying. Tronti leaving has absolutely nothing to do with someone you know personally not wanting to come to IU. It would be best if people would not come on here and speculate about nonsense. Tronti was a potential “diamond in the rough” who CTA took a flyer on. There is no credible evidence that he was “run off” or not being developed by the staff, and to suggest such is highly irresponsible.Idk...Im not in the qb room.

I believe this is true, but Tronti was really Shawn Watson's guy. I think Sheridan has gone all in on dual threat QB's and Tronti did not fit that well. Good luck to him. Sounds like a good kid.It sounds like you are making statements and creating innuendos on a public forum without actually having any knowledge to back up what you are saying.

Tronti was the Scout Team player of the year last year but he didn’t fit IU’s system? That’s a wee bit concerning.I believe this is true, but Tronti was really Shawn Watson's guy.

As 76 said, he dropped to 4th and it was clear he wasn't going to see the field. The kid wants to go where he can play. I don't know what's concerning - - or confusing - - about that.Toronto was the Scout Team player of the year last year but he didn’t fit IU’s system? That’s a wee bit concerning.
Spellcheck turned “Tronti” to “Toronto”, but it’s now fixed.As 76 said, he dropped to 4th and it was clear he wasn't going to see the field. The kid wants to go where he can play. I don't know what's concerning - - or confusing - - about that.
Best of luck to Nick Tronti.
It's not that he's that bad. It's that Penix is that good.Remember when people were adamant that we shouldn't burn his redshirt at any cost - even if helped us beat Purdue? Again, I don't think it would have helped, but people were putting more value in having four years of Tronti than they were a third consecutive bowl, a fifth consecutive Bucket, and depriving Purdue of a bowl. Now, he transfers and he was a reach that was out of his league. LMAO at the way some of you shift things to fit your narrative. I know we have added a couple of quarterbacks, but if the kid was Joe Namath in November, can he be that bad in April?
The question mark is who the starter will be.The qb situation remains an even bigger question mark.

That might have something to do with the fact that as scout team QB he was running a scaled-down version of someone else's offense, not ours.Tronti was the Scout Team player of the year last year but he didn’t fit IU’s system? That’s a wee bit concerning.
Maybe it’s just the internet, but a player seems to hit his peak before he ever steps onto the field, court or diamond, and then fades to “also ran” status before he was an “ever was”. Lagow got tons of pub before he arrived and left a goat, Ramsey got talked up but is being pushed aside for Dawkins, Penix is the next great one but he has yet to take a snap. The qb grass is always greener I guess.Remember when people were adamant that we shouldn't burn his redshirt at any cost - even if helped us beat Purdue?

Of course there was hype surrounding Tronti's recruitment. He was Mr. Florida. That's a pretty big deal. At the same time, he had Power 5 offers from exactly two schools (IU and Arizona). It's hard to fathom those two things (Mr. Florida and minimal P5 interest) happening concurrently. Naturally, given those circumstances, there was a wide range of views related to his signing.Maybe it’s just the internet, but a player seems to hit his peak before he ever steps onto the field, court or diamond, and then fades to “also ran” status before he was an “ever was”.
