My post was more so a dig at UVA's strategy.

I am well aware of how Cignetti has changed his approach. He still isn't going for top ranked guys across the board, even though he easily could. Their class will probably finish somewhere in the 20s, I'd bet they finish ranked lower than us in recruiting. With that said he'll likely be right there in the playoffs competing, with a recruiting class that cost significantly less than schools like Miami, LSU, or the Texas schools. I'd be irate if I were a blue blood fan. Cignetti is the new Saban, I don't think he will build a dynasty, but his mere existence gets other coaches fired.

Can't be true, Cignetti only uses the portal and doesn't care about ranking**

Obviously, what’s available to Cignetti after winning the NC has changed.**
