Captain Obvious speaking here….lol ….Maybe Coach Cignetti didn’t feel good about the players in his interview with them. ….Maybe those players didn’t care for Coach Cignetti’s bold, straightforward and confident approach. ….Maybe some of these player don’t think they need to put all the detail and work in Coach Cignetti is requiring of them. I’m gonna guess, it’s a little of all three. JMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s never made any sense to me why a coach would take a job where the previous coach was fired for poor performance and want to keep a bunch of those players. Seems like a great opportunity to turn the roster over faster and improve. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a great opportunity to turn the roster over faster and improve. I am one that attributes most of the blame on the coach, not the players, for the Hoosiers poor performance last season. I got to believe some of the players were good enough to remain at IU. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those guys who have already committed seem like CTA guys all the way or chasing the best $$ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC2345 Posted December 14, 2023 Report Share Posted December 14, 2023 There are guys that Cig would like back but there’s also the majority that he’s fine with leaving. Mostly because this wasn’t a good football team that IU had last year. Getting Smith back was HUGE!!! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They totally underachieved in my mind. But I have zero problem with letting those who aren't buying in or think the grass is greener elsewhere leave without much of a fight. I really, for once in a long time, do have belief we have a guy in charge who knows what he's doing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if you take a look on Twitter, we seem to be gaining some momentum with bigger program guys in regards to OV for those worried that we're going to be a Big Sun Belt Ten team. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bostad also knows who fits and buys in to what coach wants to do. Smith has one full season of starts and 3 years of eligibility at one of the most important offensive positions. LOVE the emphasis of his recommitment video. Welcome back Carter!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think there was some talent and some has stayed, some has left, and some the staff is still trying to get back. I mostly was talking about the guys that went to the portal that Cignetti and company wasn’t trying to get back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
