added grant wilson...apparently he's going to try to get another year and it seems like it will be granted.
removed three walk ons (ace ciognoli, finn walters and bruno massel iv) who i didn't realize were in the portal...my bad. they are now removed.
i have iu at 82 scholarships (3 short of the 85 ceiling) and 102 total including walk ons (105 is the limit when fall practice starts in june).

I would love to add a swing tackle like Zen from this season, a DT, and LB. On offense, a RB4 that's played a bit could make sense too. You're banking on Beebe coming back strong from an ACL. It was super early in the year, but still. You're starting to see some of the Cig HS recruits climb up the depth chart too which is exciting!!
Defensive secondary is NASTY
in regards to lee beebe...i think that's kind of why they wanted to add another portal back.
i just have no idea who else they may add in the portal now with 3 scholarships left. when would those guys even be added? would they not participate in spring ball and then get a scholarship for fall camp?
i also agree on adding a swing tackle...i think a younger tackle prospect, a tight end and either LB or RB depending on who they like more makes sense.
Here's an interesting look at next Falls way to early lineup:

Also..., one guy that has a slight chance of still being brought in from the Portal vortex is Quinton Harris a backup RT from TCU... He's reportedly visited AZ. (I think... [it may have been ASU]); IU & WKY...
He isn't listed as having signed with anyone that I could see...
Might be able to help the s at RT depth...
S:B "too early"
Might as well wait until spring practice to see what you need, none of them would be able to participate as far as I know, if not enrolled. Can they enroll for fall and practice in the spring sessions?
Unless you got someone you are really wanting and cant risk them being gone. Otherwise, Ill bet we pick a couple guys up after spring practice. Should be affordable depth available. Or maybe the prices get bid up again about that time, dont know.

@alexncompton love our secondary... but that D-line is also going to be really, really good again!
@alexncompton I don't see Becker on here, did he declare for NFL?
He's back. He’s probably off to the NFL after next season.
Kaiden Turner is coming back.
Nice boost to the LB room with a guy who's been in the system for a couple years and has real game time experience.
We’re pretty thin at TE, a position that has been extremely important in the offense. Potential is there but experience is not.
I’m glad to hear about Turner coming back. He can add some valuable depth and experience to next year’s team.

Always liked the guy. He makes plays.
Remember when he got in, had a big int, and hurt himself on the same play? That was unfortunate.
I have added my working Google Doc to this thread so everyone can see the scholarship breakdown by class, the depth chart and all the walk ons as of this date.
This will change as IU adds more players in the portal and includes the KOS from Ireland they just added.
Also, until it is known for a fact what players like Fernando Mendoza or Carter Smith (etc.) are doing next year, I'm leaving them on this current iteration but will remove once they declare their intentions...that will also change the scholarship numbers page.

I feel like me need one more good wide receiver.
