Cignetti and Indiana may be showing most of the power 4 how to do it now

While blue chip schools like Alabama, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Michigan, USC, Georgia, Texas, etc outbid each other on the 5-star high school recruits and the top guys in the portal, Indiana is showing everybody else how to build a team of very good players and coaches.

Just remember. This is an outlier. At least for now.

Yup. Whatever they did, they figured out the secret sauce.**

Recruiting rankings are BS! Trinidad Chmbliss was UNRATED.

And that, in part, is what makes me smile.

Yeah I think the 5-star, 4-star, 3-star rating is antiquated.**
hokiedad25 • 01/10/26 11:06 AM ET
People pay way too much attention to HS stars in this era
marcbvtgm • 01/10/26 10:46 AM ET
Ratings mean nothing after 1 or 2 years of college football

Age/dev > hs stars?**

Appears so...**
EDGEMAN • 01/10/26 07:42 AM ET
For some reason I think they will lose to Miami....**
TekkNerd • 01/10/26 07:15 AM ET
Show me a weak spot Miami can exploit. **

Its almost all about team chemistry; stars are secondary.**

They are changing the sport and the coaching profession.**

Perhaps, but I also think it's Cignetti - looks like a once in a generation

Considering there has been so much talk about Indiana buying their team in
Hoakie82 • 01/10/26 12:06 AM ET
That’s impressive if those numbers are accurate. If you added those 4 teams
Hoakie82 • 01/09/26 11:51 PM ET
we've only had 5 5* in our history.**
