Not great

Have we kicked the tires at all on this kid?

This is for anyone, but is Jeff Johnson still cooking up articles anywhere? I know he used to be on twitter dropping nuggets, but I haven’t seen him in a while.
Why did Vanderbilt drop Quinnwe need depth bad at dline. I would kick the tires on 2026 recruit Joey Quinn. I’m pretty sure he was dropped by Vandy but he’s a big kid with great physical traits.

I thought the same as well. I do trust the staff to do well with the dollars they have to spend, but from a fan with little knowledge looking from the outside in, it feels like they are in coupon clipping mode. Again, this staff could pull off another 9-10 win season who knows. Just sucks I’m back in the Indy area to see IU doing what they are doing.
Are we okay going into the season with James Kreutz, Beerman, and a Colorado State Transfer at LB… feel like we should be seeing some more LB visits
Theis is a danger to score every time he touches the ball, whether on offense or defense.

I agree…I think they’re happening but being kept on the down low.
Looking like we decided to go in “rebuild” mode rather than reload.
It’s is. How much do you think Houser, Bailey, the WRs, Juice, etc. cost?
We still have money to spend though.

It's not just us, throughout college football fandom generally nobody is appreciating how much more it costs to bring back the same players for the next year.

Put him in the slot and he do what Beaty just did

- how was I to know, she was with the Russians too?
Either our increased NIL isn’t keeping up with our peers, or they weren’t our plan A.

or we weren't their Plan A. or...
let's not pretend that our offer (vis a vis others) and where a player sits on our board are the only factors. that's a gross oversimplification
Maybe. But if we are trying to fly under the radar on dudes… means we’re probably not on top end players as those guys would be known. 44% of DL in the portal are currently committed. Supple and demand is about to start playing a massive part of this.
fair enough
Players still have a week to go in the portal. Right now ND has 1 portal commit
