Watched that spring practice footage they dropped yesterday, the one where the offense was running those inside zone plays with the new back. The way the line was moving people, it just clicked for me. everybody is so focused on who we lost to the draft. But they're missing the whole point of what's being built right now. The machine doesn't stop. One guy leaves, the next one is already better. That's the standard. Seeing those recruiting fits for 2026, knowing we just locked down a guy like Kaiden Prothro, it's about reloading the chamber. The competition in that QB room, the new faces on defense getting coached up this spring, that's the real story. Oregon can talk all they want about their QB battle and their flashy classs, but they don't have the day-in. People want to crown Indiana after one year or get hypnotized by Colorado bringing in 43 transfers. Let them. We're putting in the work right now, in April, with the guys who want to be here. The foundation is being poured. By the time September hits, nobody will be talking about who we lost. They'll be talking about who we've become again. The path stays the same.
