    2027 Recruiting Thread

    It’s all subjective. If you have yet to do so, I recommend you watch the highlight videos of both players. In my opinion, Segarra is a much better RB than Rogers.

    This parent strategy is discussed in great detail in Malcolm Gladwell’s classic book named Outliers published in 2008. Gladwell ties in the sport of junior hockey and the importance of the birthday month for each player.

    “Source: Cignetti's salary now averages $13.2M through 2033”

Cignetti didn’t use absurd excuses like having a small airport, not enough 5 star players, sub standard facilities, not enough NIL money, lack of football tradition, being located in a cold and drab weather environment, small stadium, etc. Cignetti just went out and did it...

    I remember him as a freshman. Montgomery had a very strong leg and was known for his booming kickoffs. His career took off once he arrived at Michigan State.
