Ponds would be a great NB. 

That is one position where measureables are gonna need to be in a range, though.

Edit: Coogan(who was getting beat like a snare drum) is largely regarded as one of the top center prospects. Needless to say, this is not a strong center class.

Listed at 5'9"...you know that's a stretch.  Dude is a baller though, no question.  Maybe a Ricky Manning Junior type.

I thought Cignetti would leave at first glance.  But his contract has auto escalators in it that can trigger every year.  They are also funded by a mega rich person so I doubt he leaves.

Mark Cuban money. He isn't going anywhere until he retires.

But it thought it was a negative to draft dudes that are 24, 25, and 26 years old. lol

It's gonna be interesting the impact this has around the college football world. I mean, for the worst program in power conference D1 football to hire a new coach and immediately win double digit games for the first time in program history then follow it up with an undefeated national championship run in year two... just wow. I don't think even the most delusional rosy outlook folks thought something like that was possible. These blue blood schools are gonna be looking at their programs like this program that has a historical record of only winning about 40% of their games just won a national title and is 27-2 over the past two years simply by hiring the right coach. Every other power conference team is gonna be looking at Indiana like "hey, that could be us if they can do it so can we." I think what Cignetti has done at Indiana has really ramped up the pressure and expectations across the board.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
