@Joshknows11@RichCastanias@DomoReacts Wishful thinking from the fanbase of a dying program. Clean your own before you start looking in our windows, Skippy.
@Joshknows11@RichCastanias@DomoReacts In two years little boys in Alabama will dream of playing for Cignetti and IU when they grow up. It will be glorious.
@Berserk_brims@IUFBguy@CFBwSam Compared to taking a 1-2 star kid to the starter on a playoff team and drafted and a 2 star to the first overall pick, a Heisman winner, and a natty in consecutive years, no not impressive.
@Berserk_brims@IUFBguy@CFBwSam You argued OSU because of its history of development. Turning 5 stars into first round picks isn’t as impressive to me. It may be to HS kids though.🤷♂️
@Berserk_brims@IUFBguy@CFBwSam Fair, but it’s infinitely higher than Rourke or Mendoza’s chances of being drafted, let alone the first overall pick, when they arrived on IU’s campus.
@Berserk_brims@IUFBguy@CFBwSam The question is about development, not developing freshmen as you like to frame it. Alberto developed into a likely ACC starter from what a 2-3 star coming in? He’s not as good as Hoover and he knows it. He still developed, just not as a starter on this team.
@Berserk_brims@IUFBguy@CFBwSam All were highly rated recruits coming in. I don’t discount OSU’s achievements, I just think getting a five star drafted in the first round is an expectation and not testament to development.
@Berserk_brims@IUFBguy@CFBwSam To play for the defending national champion and a staff that has a track record of getting bottom tier D1 qb’s drafted, including the most recent Heisman winner and first overall pick? You do know development can occur after the frosh year, right?
@Berserk_brims@IUFBguy@CFBwSam You go to the portal for a vet because, until recently, you’ve not had a realistic chance to recruit a five star QB. However, taking a bet that was passed over by most D1 schools and winning the Heisman and first overall pick is very impressive. Has Day done anything close?
@Berserk_brims@IUFBguy@CFBwSam You think getting a five star kid drafted is more impressive than getting a two star kid drafted? What world are you living in?
@SteveP598558@Flydog92 You’re delusional if you think Columbus is superior in any way to Bloomington. When Cig retires IU will (hopefully) hire Haines and keep rolling. By that time we will be solidified as a top program such that even doubters like you will be convinced.
