Being the only IU fan on this board, I guess this is my responsibility.

IU picks up WR Nick Marsh from MSU and S Preston Zachman from Wisconsin in the portal today. Expecting several more commits over the next 24-48 hours including TCU QB Josh Hoover and BC RB Turbo Richard.

I've been advised that 2 edge/DL K-Staters are going to the Hoosiers.  

Judging by the destinations and new paychecks, we really did have talent that underwhelmed this last season.

I don't like losing Zachman at all, but knowing the NCAA they would deny him a medical if he stayed at Wisconsin. Now he will get one.

IMHO it's more than Mark Cuban. They've been funneling money in from somewhere for several years. Mark Cuban just started writing checks last year, according to an article/interview I read with him.

On the bright side, we might have replacements with names easier to pronounce.

He feels like one of those pretty decent players that Indiana is gonna improve by like 10 or 15% and he’ll just be a really nice piece on a double digit win team
