Mendoza's brother to the portal
- Thread starter RealTucoSalamanca
- Start date
Unbelievable. Compete for the job. Even he was a backup, he is one injury away from starting.
Might be more a case that HC "encouraged" him to leave, but out of respect for the family let him leave on his own?
With the changes to the portal with no spring season transfers, really thought there would be more than there was.
Still amazed Lateef stayed.
Might be choosing to get closer to home to make it easier for mom to watch him play. Maybe.
Can you say Dayton 2.0
Would make sense with the rumors floating around of him potentially going to Georgia Tech
That would be a tough leave...he is the brother of the now IU legend, his next few years on campus would have been amazing.
Also would be impossible to play as good as his brother did. People will be all over him if he has a bad game.
You mean another coach would allow a player to get a scholarship without actually earning it?
I thought only our coach did that because he sucks. Not super successful Cignetti.
Agree. But also there would've been a lot of pressure to do what is bro did.
Or, Cignetti has brought in a one-year QB each of the last 3 seasons, and each of the scholarship recruits he signed have left before playing a significant snap. So why go there as a QB out of high school, if you want to go there you need to go play somewhere else for 3 years then transfer for 1 year
It makes complete sense too, from both an academic and football standpoint. I hope to see the kid ball out
If Cignetti thought Little bro was the answer he and Cuban would not have let him go anywhere.
Cignetti knew little bro wasnt deserving of a scholarship at Indiana. But that's okay because Cignetti did it and not Rhule.
