I wonder how many total pages we would have if we combined all the Cignetti/Indiana threads on this site? What Cignetti has done at Indiana is impressive. He is clearly getting the backing he needs to get the players he wants, and he has done a great job identifying talent. They have also had...

Listed as a tackle on 247 and is 6'7" 325 which is definitely tackle size.

Yeah, would assume that pretty much anyone not in the portal now that it is open is planning on coming back. With just the one portal window this season it would not make much sense to delay going in. There will probably still be a few more late entries but would guess most of the guys that...

Added Warren and Marshall to the incoming list.

Maybe, maybe not. Kid has great size, will be a redshit sophomore next season, was highly rated out of high school and already seeing the field some in his first 2 years. Very possible he comes in and starts next season.

I know right? I really don't get why some feel the need to make a post like that. Portal season just getting going, not one single person anywhere has indicated this will be the only pickup for the O-Line. But damn....this looks like a really nice get. Great size and was already getting...

That one was easy to see coming. Assume a lot of ISU guys in the portal will find their way to Penn State, well at least the good ones.

It is all relative. We are challenged compared to the big spenders but in a good enough place to retain most of our key pieces on a year to year basis. But yeah, going to be tough to lure a productive player away from another power 4 program.

Yeah, the pick 6 against Seattle was horrible....this one was more a case of Max thinking he was down and the play was over and not realizing it was his own friggin lineman that had tackled him and not a Packer. Was actually a somewhat athletic play to pop up as quickly as he did and it cost him :)

I agree with preferring players from lower levels who were significant contributors as opposed to players who didn't play much at their previous stop. And yeah, the college landscape is constantly changing and reshaping. To a ridiculous degree.

Williamson and St. Juste and Howard were not significant contributors at Florida and Michigan and LSU respectively. They played mostly special teams and were minimal contributers on D before they came here. Very similar situations to Nestor.

Will be interesting to see if Max's NFL career continues. He clearly isn't an NFL starter but he may be good enough to carve out a #2 or #3 role. Has been an eventful rookie year for him and he certainly got more playing time then any of us expected him to as an undrafted free agent.

I find the formatting on these draft announcements odd because they read like the player is foregoing elegibiliy to declare for the draft even when they are not. But a nice sentiment from a guy who was a really solid player for us, never a star but willing to do whatever the team needed and a...

Fleck doesn't comment much on guys that leave, has been that way since the portal became the thing it is now. If Koi ultimately leaves and Fleck gets asked about it I'm sure he will give a quick generic comment about it because that is how he handles those situations. He chooses to focus on...

There have been plenty of transfers that didn't work out or get much playing time. The reality is we will never know for sure what led to the decision to start Marshall over Nelson for a good chunk of the year but I just come back to the idea that you are going to start the homegrown guy who...
