  • Jeff has to go…

    I have listed to Morning Juice since the start. Sorry Bobby, but I cannot take Jeff and his bumbling moron act first thing in the morning. His constant interruptions break any flow the show used to have Please get somebody else to replace him. Take Care.

  • Let loose the juice!

    Schlegs is sorely missed. Brandon can be a robot, saying the same thing every day, and Bobby is inconsistent with his mood and energy. Sometimes he’s combative, even. When things click, though, it’s quite good. Way better than ESPN Radio!

Bill points to Kurt Signetti's portal activity and in-state recruiting success, noting that Indiana has landed a top-rated wide receiver from Indiana and has attracted high-caliber in-state talent, which signals a broader program trajectory rather than a one-off spike.
Morning Juice July 24, 2026
Q: Could Jake Paul really make an NFL team if he tried out?
AJ Hawk and the others acknowledge it would be a high-risk, high-reward endeavor; Paul has elite speed and athleticism, but the path to actually making an NFL roster would be extremely challenging and would require more than athleticism, such as football-specific skills and team fit.
