The Hoosiers landed six transfers so far, led by QB Josh Hoover (TCU), WR Nick Marsh (Michigan State), edge rusher Tobi Osunsanmi (Kansas State) and RB Turbo Richard (Boston College).


Pretty is insane. Hoover will crush it there

I don't think it's quiet at all.

They have to, the vast majority of their roster is gone this year.

Where would you rather play for a winner in a conference that you are going to get your body beatup or play for a winner in a conference that plays 2 maybe 3 games a year.

People have no idea that Cignetti is playing with his jmu squad in the natty with IU lettering.

They're a lesser program, outperforming us while they're in the CFP and this is our only mission right now.

With top-tier programs doing anything and everything they can (including spending lots of money) to assemble a championship caliber team, it just makes me respect what's going on at Indiana more and more.

It's showing that anyone can still compete at the highest level, even without the deepest pockets.

There should be no excuses for the top schools when you watch someone like Indiana getting it done.

Lol if you think Indiana is competing with just goodwill or just extra hustle. They have money and are spending it. The real winners will be those with (1!) money, (2) great talent evaluation, and (3) development. I think LSU should be able to hang but Indiana absolutely can.

People have no idea that Cignetti is playing with more 6th year players than underclassmen**

Are you under the impression that Indiana does not have the deepest pockets?

They have one of the largest endowments in the country and multiple active billionaire athletic donors.

great talent evaluation

This is going to be so crucial going forward. Evaluating talent has obviously always been important, but with the portal and so many teams having money to through around, we're going to have to find talent at smaller schools/lower divisions.

Why do you say it’s quiet? Because we aren’t mentioning it on an LSU Recruiting board

Yeah, but for Indiana, that’s a negative thing.

Cignetti is a great coach. I respect the hell out of him.
