For those old enough to remember Cignetti’s approach reminds me some of George Allen during his NFL days. Give me veterans. Give me experience. Give me production.
Cignetti, even at his other stops, did not have championship teams ever year. I never meant to imply that. But as long as Cignetti will be at IU I seriously doubt any of his teams will be toast. That was my intent.
I remember reading here during Cignetti’s first year at Indiana posters were saying that next year Cignetti would be toast when Rouke and a lot of the JMU transfers would be gone. Well, his next year was nothing short of spectacular. I‘ve followed Cignetti ever since his IUP days. I had a...
I’m not disagreeing with you but the flip side of that is that many of those mid-major teams will likely lose some of their best players to the portal as well. Transferring up.
From what I’ve seen on Reddit and Google AI Jones was the Tigers' leading receiver in a run-first offense, posting 32 receptions for 450 yards & 5 TDs as a RS Freshman. He has three years of eligibility remaining.
I think the team we have put together so far from returns and the portal is going to be better overall than the one that started in the Pinstripe bowl. Just my opinion. And that team (Pinstripe) look very competitive to me.
I trust Campbell’s judgement. He’s been a very sucessful coach. HE KNOWS THAT ISU ROSTER. Backwards and forwards. He knows who can play. He knows who has real potential. He knows who can play at the Big Ten level because he has coached against Big Ten teams. Moreover, the people he has brought...
That’s really sad news. I wish him the best. We’ll likely get the QB from Iowa State Rocco Becht. And we’ll likely (hopefully) return Smolik as well. But losing Grunkemeyer is a big loss.
I’m not ready to give up on Speca just yet. It may have been Knowles more complicated defense was a little too much to grasp quickly. A lot of people looked like they were thinking too much the first 6 games on defense.
“I’m a players’ coach,” Franklin began. “That’s all I care about. When things changed at Penn State, the reason I struggled is because I care about the players.”
Franklin’s struggles at Penn State had far less to do any struggles with player/Penn State relations and far more to do with his...
One thing to keep in mind about Chesney in his first full season at JMU. He went 9-4 and made it to an at-large bid to the FCS playoff. AND THAT WAS WITH A TEAM THAT CIGNETTI POACHED THE HELL OUT OF. So far this season he’s 10-1.
