Yes Heritage has hired a new Coach, his name is Ryan Andrews

Well guess they won't announce but it's been approved at school for a bit now. Mitchell baseball coach Jerry Chaney is the new AD. Joins former Bluejacket/Senator football coach Troy Pritchett who is new high school principal. North Daviees baseball coach Joe Wilson will be the new Springs Valley assistant principal. Lot of baseball guys in the building!

I saw that too, but feel he jumped too soon. Stay at ISU, have another great year, and even bigger paydays will come. Going from ISU with some history and always a great crowd to St. Louis, with none of that??? Could be a dead end road for his path up.

Bosse has to be super excited!

The old turf at Enlow is gone and the new turf is being installed.

How many on here are old enough that they actually saw him play? I did. He was arguably the best player in the league at his position for several years. The first great shooter I can remember seeing. If the NBA had a 3 pt. line when he played, he’d probably be the all time career points leader.

Yes it is a crap hole. Needs natural grass. Does it still have a golf course that surrounds it? I remember during my ISU days going there to play a round of golf and instead of you know, actually trying to get the ball in the hole we took turns seeing how many balls we could drive into the stadium onto the field.

Legend....

I did read the new ISU president (big fan of sports) did hire a new athletic director that is getting accolades. https://gosycamores.com/news/2024/6/12/general-indiana-state-university-appoints-nathan-christensen-as-new-director-of-athletics.aspx Christensen comes from South Dakota State, which is a powerhouse in FCS football. Hopefully, he will have this focus and get a new venue on campus. That old crap hole they play in miles from campus is turrible. (using Barkley words) Impossible to recruit in the Missouri Valley as those schools either have awesome newer stadiums and practice facilities or have re-invested significantly into their older ones improving them to today's standards. He will need to determine if ISU will continue to play at that level or get out much like Western Illinois did a couple of years ago.

Most likely you are correct, although I did see where IU ranks really high in NIL dollars generated. Will it all be spent on hoops (without much of a return in past few years) or will Coach Cigs get a bigger piece of the pie?? I did see where his paycheck almost doubled by going to the Billikens....

I do not believe anything has been announced, The Heritage HS that shows hiring a new coach is in Georgia, not the one here in Indiana.

Unfortunately, that's what it's devolving to. It's all about greed.

Winning a State Championship albeit in single class or separate classes is a big thing and should not be overlooked.

Also Southern Wells is looking for a new coach. Their head coach last season is going to be an assistant coach at South Adams per Outside The Huddle (OTH). Heritage & Southern Wells suffered the same fate of losing their head coach to a conference foe where they'll be assistants.

I don’t even like turf for football. If I need do grow the grass out and create puddles on the field to slow down an opponents star running back, that’s my God given right as the home team.

I was wondering this late in the summer, has Heritage named their new head football coach?

for ISU though, the BBall coach move to St. Louis is an odd move; not even a lateral move. he is going to quickly find out, along with the players who joined him there that last season was a once in a lifetime shot. They will not be the darlings of college basketball they were last season. I will be interested in seeing the game when St. Louis plays AT ISU.

Still remember during an IU game last season, Joel Klatt put it best. Programs like IU will be more like a minor league program. Guys will sign and play with the hopes of a better offer after a year at the D1 level. Guys who are not starters in those programs will move to a program they can become a starter and prove their value. I don't envy a coach like Cignetti. His team will be more competitive than IU has been, but to what end? When key players can transfer easily.

Beat me to it. The have nots are slowly beginning to fade away.

Welcome to the new world of college athletics.

The Coen Brothers have some other great movies. Fargo, Raising Arizona, off the wall but it has its moments, The Ladykillers, Burn After Reading may be the funniest. Still can’t believe the Academy overlooked Brad Pitt’s performance in Burn After Reading.
