At long last, Mike Leach is eligible to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame, and not a moment too soon. It was too late for The Pirate to see it himself after he died of long-standing health complications in 2022.

DeVries has racked up three commits in 48 hours, and his first IU squad is starting to take shape. Sam Houston State transfer Lamar Wilkerson is the jewel. The Hoosiers ponied up the big bucks to outlast Kentucky and Auburn for one of the premier sharpshooters in this portal haul who has drawn comparisons to Chaz Lanier.
