Can't find it now but someone did a breakdown of the amount of seasons each Indiana starter has played and it's pretty glaring how much older they are. It's like a carbon copy of the 22-23 ttun squads. Almost every guy is 23ish years old

Not saying they'll go back to winning 4 games but this type of success is not the norm. They are almost as old as some NFL teams

Onianwa may not pan out at OSU, but I’m not giving up on him yet.

OSU took a flyer on him, and he took a flyer on coming to OSU when he could’ve stayed at Rice and likely been a 2nd rd pick.

Blocking schemes were completely different and he needed to change his body composition. Everything I’ve heard is that he’s a great kid and amazing student. Probably one of those weird situations where he took more money to join OSU and cost himself a decent amount of NFL $$$ coming to OSU.

Onianwa couldn’t handle the speed rush from our DEs. Since he was projected as a 2nd-4th round pick prior to this year, it appears that many people missed on him. I doubt he even gets drafted now.

This was the portal miss that really hurt.

Well that comes down to a miss evaluation. They may need to re-examine the person who is doing the evaluation, and not go on who seems hot.

Not really. You'll get guys who show well on tape but still end up not translating at bigger programs . Unless you really believe that everyone else who wanted them "miss evaluated" these guys too which seems like a big stretch.

Onianwa was a sought after OL as well but ended up as a bust. We got what looked like a quality DL and OL at the time last year in the portal but unfortunately neither of them worked out. This is the risk that comes with the portal not all of these guys are gonna effectively translate at bigger programs

OL Devontae Armstrong (National Champion, transfer to Miami, OH)

As bad as the offensive line played, everyone should’ve got a shot. Hell, Diebler plays the whole damn team in basketball. Brothers always play good together and generally pick each other up. Now, we probably lose both. This team is starting to have very little depth at a position that already underwhelms a lot!

This is grand example of why you don't just throw blind money at every "top guy" not everyone is a fit

There are so many studs in the portal that could be instant impact players at OSU without braking the bank…

I put a lot of trust in Mark Pantoni, so let’s give him some space to work…..I hope. His job is more important than ever before.

I’ve got a list of incredible players that produced at lower levels that wouldn’t cost much.

I assume Mark Pantoni is all over this.

I hope….

Some people aren't gonna be happy unless we bring in 10 transfers who are all considered elite top 5 at their position guys.
