137 seems a little….rough.

Situational QBing needs more. 

Apparently the plan for that new NIL money is to spend literally all of it on 1 kid. 

Q. ON BUILDING UP THE NIL RESOURCES AT INDIANA…
CURT CIGNETTI: It isn’t cooking, it’s done. We’re there. Part of what I’ve got to do is change the way people think…my players, people around the program, and people outside the program because there's a perception that people won't give to football. The ante has been upped. The figure is there. It’s a very highly competitive figure within the Big Ten Conference.
 
A lot of hell yes's in this interview, but this one was almost audible from me.

Summary of a radio interview Coach gave this morning.

Q. ON WHY HE DECIDED NOT TO COACH JMU IN THEIR BOWL GAME…
CURT CIGNETTI: I think it was a natural process, to be honest with you. I think the athletic director at JMU, his comfort level when this happened…and we had a great relationship and we still do and we're great friends…was that I would coach the bowl game. But the way this process really works is when you take a new job you've left your old job, and you have to devote 100 percent of your time to your new job because there's a million things to do. For me and my staff to show up two days before the ballgame wouldn't make any sense. They’ve had kids go into transfer portal there…good players…really good players…and they're in the transfer portal. So it's open season. I think as time went on, the leadership at JMU, you realize what's the sense of…there’s no sense in this. And from my standpoint, while I have a strong emotional attachment to those guys, I think to do them right, they need to be coached by the existing members there. They're gonna hire a new head coach soon that will bring a staff in that will watch what's going on. They'll hire some people on a temporary basis that have coached collegiately, and that gives them the best chance to be successful.
 
Translated: we're about to take some JMU kids from the transfer portal and coaching their old team while having them getting ready to hit the weight room for my new team would be incredibly awkward.

Nice tribute from Biancardi on Rick Majerus. 

Dude needs better desk chairs.

What did anyone do to deserve this? If Bardo is the better half of a duo, we have serious issues.

I could understand why he left.   RCA is 1-7 on the season and in its last 2 games, they've scored less than 20 pts.

Apparently since last season, Copeland has transferred from Raleigh Christian Academy in Raleigh, NC to St.David's in Raleigh.
Team is currently 2-4 and Copeland's stats for 6 games.
14.7 ppg; 9.3 rpg; 1.0a; 1.5s; 1.2b; 4.5t             51% FG; 0-7 on 3s; 50% FT

Dude needs better desk chairs.

Honest to God, they look like they would have been in John Pont’s office. But based on the way Coach seems to be, I doubt anyone’s gonna be sitting much.

137 seems a little….rough.

Sycamores at 22 

Chairs that size are never gonna work for a meeting with a coach named "Buddha."

Imagine being a lineman and getting called into Coach's office with those chairs lol!

Dude needs better desk chairs.

Assume this is the replacement for Carpenter. Already with a Rivals futurecast to IU.

De-commit from JMU. Assume this will be a bit of a theme for a few days. A fair number of his Hudl clips show him at WR, though he is apparently being recruited as a DE.

Indiana has reached out to gauge the situation 

Great to hear Hunter’s recovering, but cardiac issues for players have always spooked me and I’m not in love with the idea of a kid without a significant professional future continuing to play at that level. Hope the young man takes the best possible care.
