That's a pretty loose definition of "several."

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.

Yeah, that's it. Also, can't be a 4.65 guy. You gotta have wheels.

Ok I had the wrong player it was #1 the safety not fisher.  And he was involved in 2 of Miami’s TDs I know with missed tackles

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.

It is if they are complete projects.

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.

Same old Miami. What a classless bunch of cretins they accumulate.
