HAHAHAHAHA

 

[BCntyCane]

Who is Leavitt?

You ppl aren’t talking about the Arizona St dude right

yes ASU QB

 

[Ufan81]

I don't see why he bothered to transfer at all.
Yeah, IU had a fantastic season whereas the opposite for Cal. Otherwise, not much difference from a historical standpoint, plus Cal added some interesting coaches on the offensive side of ball.

To be honest I'm not sure why he went there either. Thought he would've went somewhere south. Not necessarily here but a southern school.

I live close enough. It’s a top tier school regardless so for me I would value that degree, not that Indiana is bad. I don’t know that it gets him any closer to the league going to IU

Top 10ish school. Yeah tragic. Curious last time you were there

People will do anything to be closer to Gary, IN. Most beautiful place on earth.

Most of Italy’s opulence is based around the elite of Rome’s rabid fascination with Gary.

yep and 247 had him I believe number 3 overall

247 “projects” who they think will enter the portal or has this guy said after the playoff he’s entering?m

Just to be clear I’m talking ASU QB Leavitt

His brother is there, he likes Cig, and IU was a playoff team while Cal had a losing record.

Better team, better conference, and better NIL. Just seen Rourke get turned into a Heisman candidate


And while yeah IU’s schedule was a little fluky last year… look at next years. If they beat Illinois they could be a 10 win team and in the playoff race again.

Good thoughts. I did my undergrad at IU. There’s a lot to like about going to school there in general. Great place.

Also, I agree IU will not be a flash in the pan. Cig knows what he’s doing and only lost 1 staff member (QB coach Sunseri is new OC at UCLA) and he replaced him with the Falcons passing game coordinator. IU is doing pretty well in the portal and has a good group returning (including its 3 All-Americans on defense in Ponds, Kamara, and Fisher who are all confirmed coming back). IU’s defense will be really solid again. O-Line needs some work but it’s still much better than Cal’s. Definitely can see the appeal for Mendoza.

Most liberal place in these United States. Never been, but I imagine the people there would not like me, nor I them. I hear it's a good school. But where I live, you'd have to overcome a lot to get along with people after having been indoctrinated in Berkeley.

Now this is some funny ****

The national media keeps saying that this was IU's one shot and they'll never get back again.. maybe but if you go by Cig's coaching history I am not sure what leads people to believe that. Guy has been a program builder everywhere he's been and just took one of the worst D1 programs to the playoff in year 1. Easy schedule or not that is **** impressive. I expect them to be competitive each year and a pain the *** for some of the B1G football blue bloods as they add more talent. Now I wouldn't say they should regularly expect seasons quite like this year but saying they're going to fade back into irrelevancy seems like an overreaction to me. Not to mention they have a MASSIVE, WEALTHY donor base that has began stepping up for the football program.
