  • “IUBB” Podcast

    It is supposed to be an IUBB pod but has essentially turned into an IUFB pod. Maybe should start a separate IUFB pod and make these an actual IUBB pod again.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

IU football recruiting special: A look into Indiana players, Monshun Sales
Q: how does Sales's recruitment interact with IU's existing targets like Branden Sharpe?
Co-mentioning Sales alongside Sharpe suggests IU envisions pairing a high-end outside receiver with a dynamic slot option to maximize the offense, leveraging both players' strengths to create mismatches and make use of the new personnel within Curt Cignetti's system.
IU football recruiting special: A look into Indiana players, Monshun Sales
Q: what is Sales's potential impact right away if he chooses IU?
Sales is viewed as a big-framed, athletic receiver who could contribute immediately as a playmaker in the slot and outside, with potential for significant early involvement once he adapts to college football and demonstrates his top-tier speed and catching ability.
IU football recruiting special: A look into Indiana players, Monshun Sales
Q: where do things stand with Monshun Sales, and is a July decision likely?
The most recent reporting suggests a July timeline is plausible, with IU still in a strong position. The staff has positive buzz from Sales after his IU visit, and while other programs remain in contention, IU's local and in-state connections keep them in the conversation.
Mind Your Banners: A bad time for a bad loss
Q: How do the hosts feel about Indiana's chances of making the NCAA tournament after the loss to Northwestern?
They express concern about the offense's recent performances and believe the loss puts Indiana closer to the bubble, indicating that the upcoming games are critical for their tournament hopes.
