- and, what a lot of panicky folks are missing, there will be a lot of OL available on into the summer. Maybe they won't be superstars, but maybe they can be coached up good enough. Not every team has a front 5 of NFL caliber players. Journeymen are OK.

I think it's more like he's expecting a bag. Needs to put the work in.

He is repped by Smac entertainment the same agency as Prime. I didn’t see any other college kids on the client list. A lot of former players and other celebrities

Anyone have a 48-hour countdown clock for Seaton? A little concerned that FLA has entered the race. Hopefully Texas had some communications with his agent for a few weeks. Does Seaton’s agency represent any current Texas players? I am also waiting for Brunner’s commitment to drop. Has Indiana brought in any other guards since he visited?

Daje Johnson just randomly has a special place in my heart

How so? I think rules being enforced makes it even harder for them. They'd only have $15M or whatever total. How to keep everyone happy with that? Remember every team in P5 has rev share. The rule enforcement would just limit over the cap spending.

He's recent but I really loved watching him cause havoc. Hope he doesn't count as a star I love our safeties.

Basically follow our model this portal off season... a year from now. Sounds like an unnecessary reset for a team that is stuck in nuetral, as far as results, with Riley.

I love LA... just saying...🤷🏿‍♂️. Frisco is a fancy plantation... and I can say it.. because I pay taxes there...🤣🤣. If the kids don't bolt for the bag if they didn' make the 2 deep, and they don't come back to the table and try to negotiate like terrorists, then in 2-3 years.. they'll be pretty damn good. Right now.. with how things are shaping up.. they'll look like we did at the end of the season, at best.

We are emulating the pro roster.

Diversity has made it's way to OTF..🤣🤘🏿

Rules start being enforced, they look like geniuses.

Tech just slidin' by in the Big XII. Play one team in preseason Top 10 for nonconference and then won't face another preseason top 15 team for the season.

Also since 2013 Olineman who have taken at least 100 snaps during that time 90 players graded for snaps per disruption. The best allow once ever 40 snaps normal is about once every 25 snaps. Nick Brooks was the worst and allowed a disruption on ever 8 snaps in 207 snaps this season. But he has good traits.

He had 444 snaps at left guard allowed no sacks and consistently grades well as a run blocker plus he has 3 years of eligibility left Tennessee and Arkansas were both after him.

College football doesn’t exist anymore. It’s a yearly minor league contract.

They recruited out of high school or got them from the portal? I’m asking how many 6’0 270 lb lineman are you getting in each high school class hoping they turn into Byron Murphy. I don’t think there are that many Murphys out there.

Also that's the magic of College Football watching these kids grow up to become superstars under your guidance when it wasn't expected sad state of affairs honestly.

Indiana has two of those type guys starting on their DL. One 6-1, 265-270, and the other 6-0 and 300 If a player is good, they are good.

Cignetti will never be the norm. He doesn't apply to coaches at power programs who have proven to not be as good at him, No. 1. He was a coaching hire by Indiana and brought many players and coaches with him. He began with continuity, and then build off it very well. He also didn't get into money whip recruitments as you pointed out. Then there is closer to the median, which is Miami. 25 of 44 in the two-deep are HS/JUCO recruits by the staff. 9 of 10 OL's were recruited and developed by the staff (C James Brockermyer only transfer). Rueben Bain (6 of top 8 DL's were HS recruits), Mark Fletcher, Toney, OL's, etc... Georgia continues to be the dominant SEC program, and they are 85+% HS/JUCO recruits. They have true toughness and development in their program. I personally don't think there is just one way to get it done or be a top program that has the chance to compete on an annual basis. Coaching change that results in quick success can't be looked as the end all for every program (the quick success) because more coaching changes than not by a big margin won't end like Indiana.

This thread was a good idea. I need to go pet my dog and touch grass and forget about the portal. 😂
