Re: Cignetti
Their QB has entered the portal and their highest ranking recruit has uncommitted and reopened recruiting. JMU better have a plan or they will be best record to worst in one year.

Re: Cignetti
This is typical in a coaching change. Not sure what the QB is thinking .. unless he believes he played well enough to get looks at P5 level. Maybe he will. New coach will come in and settle things down. For the long-term, jmu will continue to be good if the next coach is good. If he is not, they will not. I do not put much into some player turnover after coaching change. If 25 players enter portal...then you may have some portalling to do yourself to continue to be good

Re: Cignetti
I think I read that 20 IU players entered the portal and 4 commitments have moved on. He's been successful everywhere he's been but this might test his skills given the level of competition he will face.

Re: Cignetti
He’s looking at a total rebuild. Fortunately for him expectations aren’t sky high. I do think he will be competitive given time.

I hope he knocks it out of the park and they run the table in their conference. Hes a great guy and a heck of a coach. I really like him.

Re: Cignetti
Everybody knows the IU job is going to be a total rebuild and the program has done nothing successful for decades. Cig can only take program upward and he will have more than enough time to do it. He will make it better and will look good no matter what. He knew this going in. It is basically no lose for him.

Re: Cignetti
Off the top of my head I can't remember the coaches name who had the great year and went to Minnesota - still hasn't been able to reach the upper level - only going to get tougher -
Of course Cignetti has a head start - He is a West BY GOD Virginian

Re: Cignetti
Hopefully Indiana won't hold that against him.
BTW, your Graham G-Men lost to Radford in the state semis.

Re: Cignetti
Yep I saw that - but they were our rivals - I was a Bluefield Beaver - How about Phoebus - they play Salem on Saturday for the championship, would be their 3rd in a row - probably would have been 4 if it weren't for Treyvion Henderson

Re: Cignetti
For a school like IU what does a total rebuild even mean? In that conference (especially with the west coast adds) they are looking at 6-6 at best. Good luck and enjoy the paychecks.AtlAppMan wrote: ↑Tue Dec 05, 2023 10:20 amEverybody knows the IU job is going to be a total rebuild and the program has done nothing successful for decades.

Re: Cignetti
Hoping Phoebus beats Salem. All those years Salem was racking up state titles, Hopewell (the same size) was continuing to play at the state's highest level (AAA in those days, while Salem was AA). Salem had a huge advantage over most of the schools they played who were mostly rural. The reclassification into six divisions from three brought a bunch more competitive schools that Salem now has to contend with. While still good, they don't run roughshod over the opposition now. Of course, the reclassification has helped Hopewell as well. Smaller city schools (though that's not Phoebus) do have some obvious advantages over their more rural opponents.WVAPPeer wrote: ↑Wed Dec 06, 2023 8:37 amYes, I remembered that, that's why I mentioned ithapapp wrote: ↑Wed Dec 06, 2023 6:39 amHenderson went to my alma mater, Hopewell.WVAPPeer wrote: ↑Tue Dec 05, 2023 6:35 pmYep I saw that - but they were our rivals - I was a Bluefield Beaver - How about Phoebus - they play Salem on Saturday for the championship, would be their 3rd in a row - probably would have been 4 if it weren't for Treyvion Henderson![]()
