[SPEAKER_02]: For today's I-U report with Grant Shouse.
1:05
[SPEAKER_02]: I am joined by Grant Shouse out here at the L-Wid golf course where I grew up in fact Grant.
1:12
[SPEAKER_02]: We are right now sitting where I want a couple of blue ribbons and some swim meets right here in the middle of it, in the middle of the pool.
1:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, the pool was right here.
1:22
[SPEAKER_02]: We were on the pool and checking out the hot live guards and that was my life as a child.
1:28
[SPEAKER_02]: So brings back memories, although it's no longer a pool, which is kind of sad, but still very cool place out here in a nice golf course.
1:36
[SPEAKER_02]: Really that back nine.
1:38
[SPEAKER_02]: It's new since I
1:40
[SPEAKER_02]: We've got a town.
1:41
[SPEAKER_02]: Thanks to they can up the graph and the old golf course for hosting us on Tuesday nights on Wednesdays were over at Tipton at the golf course there talking different sports.
1:52
[SPEAKER_02]: But tonight we're today.
1:53
[SPEAKER_02]: We are here with Grant Shows and we're also joined by Will Rutherford.
1:57
[SPEAKER_02]: Although he may not have a lot to say.
2:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Welcome, guys.
2:02
[SPEAKER_02]: Grant.
2:02
[SPEAKER_02]: We are getting there.
2:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Almost to old Dominion time opening weekend is just a couple of weekends away.
2:09
[SPEAKER_02]: I believe four weeks from now three weeks three weeks.
2:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm going to have weeks and
2:14
[SPEAKER_02]: It's time to talk some who's your football.
2:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's start getting down to the serious stuff.
2:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, let's check out the roster.
2:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Of course, Grant is our IU expert, our insider, the guy who knows everything about IU sports.
2:28
[SPEAKER_02]: So he's going to break down the roster for me.
2:30
[SPEAKER_02]: And Grant, I want to start with taking an outsider perspective.
2:33
[SPEAKER_02]: So one who doesn't know anything about IU football.
2:36
[SPEAKER_02]: Tell him who to look out for this year.
2:40
[SPEAKER_01]: You're about as good as your quarterback is.
2:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Indiana, I think there are some, there's some questions coming in on how Fernando Mendoza is going to adapt to a new system, a new coach.
2:54
[SPEAKER_01]: It helps you got his brother Alberto, who's already on the, on the roster as a third string quarterback, third fourth string quarterback.
3:03
[SPEAKER_01]: And Fernando Mendoza, I believe, was the most stacked quarterback in the entire FBS last year.
3:12
[SPEAKER_01]: So now that they're going to put in behind an offensive line that is going to be better than cows.
3:18
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to say it's going to be good just because I haven't seen it yet, but you would imagine it'll be pretty good.
3:24
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I think that I think that'll help him be able to scramble more and get open and throw the football better than he did at cow.
3:32
[SPEAKER_01]: And he still had really good numbers at cow over three thousand yards through the air.
3:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Grant some of the greatest quarterbacks of all time were the most sacked quarterbacks.
3:41
[SPEAKER_02]: Roger Stobbach was the most sacked quarterback despite having an entirely Hall of Fame offensive line in front of him because those guys are.
3:50
[SPEAKER_02]: Those guys are usually the better athletes who think they can keep plays alive.
3:54
[SPEAKER_02]: Is that what we're looking at?
3:55
[SPEAKER_01]: I think maybe I think only time will tell with that.
3:58
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a good question.
3:59
[SPEAKER_01]: I think you'll know more probably after the first game after all the men in you'd know a little more about that.
4:06
[SPEAKER_01]: But
4:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Indiana and I know we'll talk about it so I don't want to give it away, but Indiana's got a good offensive line and they're going to be able to protect him better.
4:15
[SPEAKER_01]: That offensive line I think fell apart at the end of last season.
4:19
[SPEAKER_01]: It was not good against Ohio State.
4:21
[SPEAKER_01]: It was not good against Notre Dame.
4:23
[SPEAKER_02]: A lot of offensive lines aren't good against those teams.
4:26
[SPEAKER_01]: And just just looking at it, compared to years past that offensive line, they have a good online coach and Bob Boastad who's coached a long time and was at Indiana with Tom Allen.
4:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Kurt Sigmetti retained him off of the old staff and he's worked with that O'Line.
4:46
[SPEAKER_01]: I've always thought the most important positions on the field are your five O'Line and your six O'Line when you bring in another tie-in and then your quarterback.
4:54
[SPEAKER_01]: So they always have to work together and for an end-oamendos, I know took the entire offensive line.
5:02
[SPEAKER_01]: at Indiana out to dinner the other night on him paid for it at St.
5:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Elma's, how about that?
5:07
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think that shows a testament just to kind of how he operates, how good of a guy is, you know, you're taking your own line out to eat, you're paying for it.
5:17
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think that's a real special thing and it shows good bond with your team.
5:23
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think Mendozo will be all right.
5:26
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think he's one of the best quarterbacks.
5:29
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I'll be one of the best quarterbacks in the big tin.
5:33
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm certain are we that Mendoza is going to be the starter opening weekend.
5:38
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd say about ninety nine point eight percent.
5:44
[SPEAKER_01]: I have a hard time believing that it wouldn't be any one other than Fernando Mendoza.
5:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Grant Wilson is
5:50
[SPEAKER_01]: I believe probably going to be the second string quarterback.
5:54
[SPEAKER_01]: He is an act.
5:55
[SPEAKER_01]: He actually is an old dominion transfer.
5:57
[SPEAKER_01]: So he may get in the game against this former team.
6:01
[SPEAKER_01]: And but Mendoza's obviously the better quarterback.
6:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Everybody's expecting everybody pretty much knows he's going to be the starting quarterback week one.
6:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Tell me about his weapons.
6:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, a lot of the backfield.
6:13
[SPEAKER_01]: You got a new transfer and a running back name Roman Hemby who was the
6:17
[SPEAKER_01]: leading Russia for Maryland who ran all over the field against Indiana last year, which is a good transfer pickup.
6:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Another running back name Lee Bibi Jr.
6:28
[SPEAKER_01]: coming over from UAB, which will be another weapon probably.
6:32
[SPEAKER_01]: The second main back that will get a lot of carries out of the back field just depending how they run their offense and and of course, you know the wide receivers Elijah Sarat back who could be I think could end up being a first round draft pick.
6:47
[SPEAKER_01]: I saw today a thing on him where he started at St.
6:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Francis University and FCS school out and I think it's New Jersey.
6:55
[SPEAKER_01]: He started out there and then transferred to JMU with
7:00
[SPEAKER_01]: a sick netty and played a year at jam you and then came over to indiana last year and over a thousand yards receiving he you know he he's one of those were like he's not getting the ball every play like every pass play you don't throw it to me but he's one of those when he does get the ball it almost seems like airtime he caught the ball last year is for a first down or a touchdown you know it's not like they throw it to him because he's the most athletic a throw it to him because he's the most skilled he is athletic
7:28
[SPEAKER_01]: arguably probably could be the most athletic receiver.
7:31
[SPEAKER_01]: He's the most skilled and I think he's got some of the best IQ and good combination.
7:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah and he's going to be one of Mendoza's main targets I believe and he was good with work last year.
7:44
[SPEAKER_01]: He had a good connection with him and I think that I think Serrat
7:51
[SPEAKER_01]: probably is up there with also Mendoza's maybe one of the best duels in all of college football quarterback and wide receiver.
7:58
[SPEAKER_01]: I know that's biased, but I mean, you look at you think about the potential and I think when you see the potentials, you know what I mean.
8:06
[SPEAKER_02]: You talked about the offensive line, give us a run back, run down, who's back?
8:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, they return a decent amount of that offensive line, guy named Carter Smith is back this year.
8:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I am the best excited about his Pat Cougan, who's the center, he was the center at Notre Dame last year, played against Indiana.
8:27
[SPEAKER_01]: And Coach Signetti said a big reason getting him here was his girlfriend went to IU, so that helps.
8:34
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?
8:34
[SPEAKER_01]: Doesn't hurt, doesn't hurt, so.
8:37
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's a graduate student and finishing up at Indiana.
8:42
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a good addition.
8:43
[SPEAKER_01]: He and my opinion is maybe the most important addition to their, you know, to their arsenal on that align, that they got their entire recruitment class over the last season.
8:56
[SPEAKER_01]: He's big and then you got a guy coming in from Ohio State named Zinn McCalsky who was a played at Ohio State.
9:05
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a starter at Ohio State last year and then a guy named Drew Evans is back as well as a
9:12
[SPEAKER_01]: as an offensive lineman.
9:13
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we talked about Carter Smith that that O line and there's more that I'm probably forgetting about but those those are going to be real key in protecting up front.
9:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Should be a really good defense and even I as a Purdue fan grant know some names on the defense coming back.
9:32
[SPEAKER_02]: Starting I think you got to start the Angela Ponds right.
9:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean I love that dude.
9:37
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a great player and one of the best slot corners.
9:42
[SPEAKER_01]: I think one of the best slot corners in the country and he's going to be asked to do a lot on that defense in the secondary.
9:49
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you factor in, uh, you have another guy that's a middle linebacker in the linebacker room named Kellyn Wyatt.
9:58
[SPEAKER_01]: It also comes in from Maryland with Roman him.
10:01
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a big addition to that defense.
10:03
[SPEAKER_01]: And then another guy named Tyree Tucker up front is going to be the nose tackle.
10:09
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll play significant minutes.
10:10
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think the two most important guys, you mentioned ponds.
10:13
[SPEAKER_01]: And yes, he's important.
10:15
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's a great player.
10:17
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think the two better players on defense are
10:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Linebacker, Aiden Fisher, who's good one.
10:24
[SPEAKER_01]: The anchor of that defense, then Mikhail Kamara, who's an edgerusher, are two of the most important pieces that that team has, and that defense is going to revolve around them, and you're going to see them be in almost every play, if not every play of every game, as long as they stay healthy knock on wood.
10:42
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I like that defense this year.
10:46
[SPEAKER_01]: They have one of the best coordinators in the country and Bryant Ains and want to shout him out he followed me on Twitter the other day.
10:54
[SPEAKER_01]: That's huge.
10:54
[SPEAKER_01]: So love you coach James.
10:57
[SPEAKER_01]: So hopefully he's listening and hopefully he knows that we're getting some we're giving those guys some praise and rightfully so because Indiana's gonna have another good defense.
11:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Now I'm not saying it's gonna be the best defense in the country because I don't think it will be.
11:16
[SPEAKER_01]: I think if you had to give it a letter grade, I think it's not an A plus, but it's not a B. I think it's an A minus defense.
11:24
[SPEAKER_02]: One of the best in the country, then.
11:25
[SPEAKER_01]: One of the best, but not the best.
11:27
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?
11:28
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
11:29
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's under the elite tier, whatever.
11:32
[SPEAKER_01]: You would constitute that as I think it's right under the elite tier.
11:36
[SPEAKER_01]: So more behind Texas and Penn State.
11:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and Oregon and probably Ohio State and probably Notre Dame.
11:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Just pit, I mean, pit pickup.
11:44
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, they're probably behind those schools, but I think it's still going to be one of the best in the conference.
11:50
[SPEAKER_01]: It's still going to be, I think, a top fifteen to top twenty in the nation.
11:55
[SPEAKER_02]: Everybody please excuse the wind.
11:57
[SPEAKER_02]: It's awfully nice being able to podcast out here at the golf course, but we will get a little bit of wind.
12:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Not a lot, but a tiny bit.
12:06
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's just go ahead and stay on the defensive side and I want to ask you a different question for IU fans now who are familiar with the team who are some of the players to watch out for who are going to be the complimentary pieces or maybe someone he's going to jump up and be a star this year who people may not be familiar with.
12:25
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, like I mentioned with Tyreek Tucker, that's gonna be a big name to watch out.
12:30
[SPEAKER_01]: One guy I didn't mention is a transfer from Western Kentucky, Joseaw Wheeler, defensive tackle, up front big dude up front.
12:38
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you look at his film, he, I really, great film.
12:41
[SPEAKER_01]: And he, I really,
12:45
[SPEAKER_01]: I like this whole defense, but Wheeler up front is going to be big for them along on that same side with Camara, and then you factor in the middle line, back or realize you're hardy, who's taking a big step, he's going to be a sophomore, and then one guy can't leave out and mention him a Mari Feral, strong safety, going to be big in that secondary with Ponds, and then they add in another safety transfer, Lewis Moore, who was it Indiana originally with Tom Allen,
13:15
[SPEAKER_01]: and left and went to Ole Miss last season and now is back with Indiana.
13:19
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think those are kind of the breakout guys.
13:22
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it relies a hearty could be a huge breakout guy for Indiana this year as a linebacker.
13:30
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
13:30
[SPEAKER_02]: And join us again next week when we talk some more I you football.
13:33
[SPEAKER_02]: We're gonna be talking a lot of I you football between now and the season.
13:36
[SPEAKER_02]: And then once the season begins, you won't even believe how much I you football.
13:39
[SPEAKER_02]: We're gonna talk.
13:41
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we're gonna have a
13:43
[SPEAKER_01]: I believe correct me from wrong.
13:45
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to have a reaction after every game.
13:47
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to preview every game.
13:50
[SPEAKER_02]: We have a who's a report every week.
13:52
[SPEAKER_02]: We're just I think I counted a hundred and sixty six.
13:55
[SPEAKER_02]: I use segments this coming calendar year.
13:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Awesome.
13:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Can't wait.
14:00
[SPEAKER_02]: And let's just be honest, Grant, as much as we love IU football, the number one draw for IU is still IU basketball, no matter, they could probably win a national championship in football.
14:10
[SPEAKER_02]: Basketball is king around here.
14:12
[SPEAKER_02]: So let's talk a little IU basketball, nice as exhibition, three game exhibition in Puerto Rico,
14:20
[SPEAKER_02]: a really good chance for coach to raise the CS team.
14:23
[SPEAKER_02]: We're hoping a good chance for fans to see the Hoosiers, we don't know if it's going to be televised, right?
14:29
[SPEAKER_01]: No, don't know yet.
14:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully it will be.
14:33
[SPEAKER_01]: If it's not televised at least live stream somewhere, you know, teams that go on that sometimes they'll stream it on their social media and you can watch it on there.
14:41
[SPEAKER_01]: So hopefully we'll get to see that, but it's going to be
14:46
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be important for Indiana to have a good showing down there and see what they can do.
14:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, I believe they're playing the Puerto Rican team.
14:56
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I got it right here.
14:57
[SPEAKER_02]: August six.
14:58
[SPEAKER_02]: So that is Thursday, Wednesday.
15:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Playing University Dodd Day by your own from Puerto Rico.
15:06
[SPEAKER_02]: I would assume that would be an easy win at seven o'clock at in Carolina, Puerto Rico.
15:14
[SPEAKER_02]: Then they go to
15:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Joseo Roberto Clemente named after one of my all-time heroes in the capital of San Juan and they will play a professional Serbian team called mega super bet at seven o'clock on Saturday and then on Tuesday at eleven a.m.
15:34
[SPEAKER_02]: they will play the same Serbian team mega super bet back in Carolina
15:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Puerto Rico.
15:41
[SPEAKER_02]: So coming up in the next few days, man, I really hope we get to see this because I'm really curious about this team.
15:47
[SPEAKER_02]: Make a super bet.
15:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Make a super bet.
15:50
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't even think it's like a real team, you know, but I promise you that they can play basketball.
15:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yes.
15:58
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I can be a good test.
16:00
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a little off topic here, but it goes with what I'm talking about.
16:05
[SPEAKER_01]: I think is that I have a friend who lives in Germany and
16:11
[SPEAKER_01]: She was saying about how she enjoys watching basketball over in Europe in Germany.
16:17
[SPEAKER_01]: And I said, well, Europe arguably is starting to have better basketball than the United States.
16:23
[SPEAKER_01]: She's like, no, I don't believe that.
16:24
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like,
16:25
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, yeah, I'm like, I think those Eastern European countries like Serbia and Yugoslavia, I don't even know that exists anymore.
16:34
[SPEAKER_01]: But especially Serbia, it was part of Yugoslavia.
16:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they have some really good players, you know, the white player.
16:43
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, maybe as Yokec, he's from Serbia in the world.
16:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
16:48
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you have Luke Adoncic, he's also from over there too.
16:52
[SPEAKER_01]: that that area of the world does produce good basketball and I think I'm not saying that they produce the best basketball because I do think us here in the United States definitely closed.
17:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like I think still here in the United States, we also produce good basketball especially.
17:12
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I just think to say though.
17:13
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it's not.
17:14
[SPEAKER_02]: The Europe is starting to
17:16
[SPEAKER_02]: at least pull close to even, if not.
17:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, especially in its youth levels, because basketball is just a big of soccer over there now.
17:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course, and basketball's taught different over there now.
17:27
[SPEAKER_01]: It's coached differently over there, and it's actually coached better over there nowadays, arguably, especially with the youth development.
17:35
[SPEAKER_01]: It's coached better than here in America with AAU and travel ball, that kind of stuff.
17:41
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a whole other conversation for another day.
17:45
[SPEAKER_01]: It'll be a good test for Indiana to play against what I would assume with make a super bet to be a really good serving team.
17:53
[SPEAKER_01]: And they may not.
17:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, they may not be a good team.
17:56
[SPEAKER_01]: I have no idea.
17:56
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, we have no idea.
17:58
[SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be a really tough test.
18:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, the also a really good change.
18:02
[SPEAKER_02]: You said Wednesday, right?
18:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
18:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Are you really good chance to get a win and kind of show at what everybody has because that should be.
18:10
[SPEAKER_02]: I would assume a college team in Puerto Rico is not going to be able to challenge.
18:16
[SPEAKER_01]: I think us as Indiana fans should not look at results from this and unfortunately a lot of fans will take results in terms of if it went good or bad.
18:27
[SPEAKER_01]: I think watch the product on the floor.
18:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't look at results because the results may be maybe good.
18:33
[SPEAKER_01]: It may be bad but I think watch what
18:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Watch what Indiana's able to do, I would say.
18:41
[SPEAKER_01]: What, you know, watch what they're able to do in terms of how they move the ball.
18:45
[SPEAKER_01]: How do I space the floor?
18:46
[SPEAKER_01]: What's the offense look like?
18:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Is there really, are we really going to be running an offense?
18:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Who just can't sell?
18:52
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's going to be the most.
18:53
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you know, because it's a bunch of guys that we know are pretty good.
18:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Other than to freeze, I'm not sure we'd know much more.
19:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, it's definitely going to be coached a better in this type of situation than when Indiana went down there in the past.
19:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Indiana has been down there.
19:08
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't believe it was Puerto Rico, but it was in the Bahamas and they went to Bahamas.
19:12
[SPEAKER_02]: They've been to Puerto Rico for a long time.
19:14
[SPEAKER_02]: And there is a reason why.
19:18
[SPEAKER_01]: So we'll just have to see how all that plays out, but I think it'll be, I think it'll be a good experience for those guys on the team.
19:27
[SPEAKER_01]: to do those kind of things.
19:28
[SPEAKER_01]: They've had a alumni come back here the last few weeks.
19:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Cody Zeller was back a few weeks ago.
19:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Victor Oladepa was back last week as well.
19:37
[SPEAKER_01]: And practice with the team.
19:38
[SPEAKER_01]: I know he's looking to make a comeback into the NBA.
19:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Man, I wish that dude had some eligibility left.
19:45
[SPEAKER_01]: I know he's injury riddled unfortunately, but I think it's good to have those guys come back to your program, especially with a coach that like,
19:55
[SPEAKER_01]: They don't know this dude.
19:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, it does help that they do have Kenny Johnson.
19:59
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, so that's your brand new coach.
20:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's a great opportunity.
20:02
[SPEAKER_01]: And Kenny Johnson was on the staff when Zeller and Oladepo would have played there in the Creen area.
20:08
[SPEAKER_01]: And he left and now is back with Indiana.
20:11
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's good to have those guys back.
20:13
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know, Luke Goodie, Luke Goodie did not get a waiver approved by the NCAA, which is not surprising.
20:21
[SPEAKER_01]: I kind of figured he wouldn't get that approved.
20:25
[SPEAKER_01]: but he but up until he was denied that waiver he was working out and practicing with the team and I think it's good for those guys to go up and down with a guy like him who's played in the system before and kind of knows Indiana not sure it really matters but
20:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Was this have to see how they do in Puerto Rico when we talk next week?
20:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully we'll be talking about something good and hopefully we will have been able to see video.
20:52
[SPEAKER_01]: I have a strong belief that we will be able to see video from it.
20:56
[SPEAKER_01]: If not a whole game, clips from games.
21:00
[SPEAKER_01]: That'll be, that'll be really good as a fan base.
21:02
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it'll be good.
21:03
[SPEAKER_02]: By the way, there are, there are ticket packages out there for people to go.
