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.

Yeah. My bad. Thursday... literally losing track of days.

Less than 50-50 that actually ends up correct. Maybe a couple. Byron Murphy would have always been too short or small for Texas in SEC... even though he would kick everyones ass. Texas would have passed out of high school on Thorpe and Outland Winners. That developed in your program, so the award is truly meaningful.

Maybe my favorite thread ever on OTF!

Not locked in. Texas has had some conversations, but will come down to if Herring has any “starter” demands

Can schedule visits for 12:01am Thursday

Problem is some of the best players to come through the program in the last 20 years wouldn’t have happened

For real … this is @Joe Zura’s

Lucky

That’s a great Q Majority would say yes. Such a big class of HS kids … massive NIL HS spend Will be good look back in 2-3 years

When you click on quote look down and click on add files

If this is you … love what you do. Very cool

Or 3!!! love it

Correct

@Joe Zura‘s

How many true freshman OL’s look like that as a freshman? Less than 1% of a high school cycle at the position IMO

Tremendous haha

For Texas? Not many after two years

Spot on

This is why this is a dangerous new era for a college football program Was looking at NFL Draft picks since Steve Sarkisian got to Austin. There have been 28 players selected in the NFL Draft since 2023. There are two categories I'm putting guys into in the current era or forget development, and it's portal os bust. The two categories are: Wouldn't likely have been signed out of high school, and wouldn't likely have been retained to fully develop Wouldn't likely have been signed out of high school ... Byron Murphy - no chance Texas would have signed him out of HS Jahdae Barron - very little chance to no chance Texas would have signed him out of HS. T'Vonde Sweat - not likely signed out of HS. Christian Jones - zero chance signed out of HS. Jaylan Ford - not very likely signed out of HS. Gunnar Helm - 50/50 would have been signed out of HS. Barryn Sorrell - not very likely signed out of HS. Wouldn't likely have been retained to fully develop ... Vernon Broughton - not likely retained Moro Ojomo - not likely retained Jonathon Brooks - possibly not retained. Jaydon Blue - not likely retained. Alfred Collins - 50/50 at best if retained early in career. DeMarvion Overshown - 50/50 if retained early in career. Jordan Whittington - 50/50 at best if he would have been retained after first two years.

It's coming soon Make any of it make sense!!!
