IU Football Pro Day on NFL Network + Cignetti’s “Hoover” Quote + Final Four Preview (Indy)
Podcast: CrimsonCastPublished On: Fri Apr 03 2026
Description: Galen Clavio and Scott Caulfield recap an unbelievable moment for Indiana football: IU’s Pro Day airing live on NFL Network, with Fernando Mendoza slinging it, and a roster full of legitimate NFL prospects getting the kind of spotlight the program rarely — if ever — enjoyed before the title run. They discuss what it means for recruiting, why this roster’s depth of pro talent is a sea change for Indiana, and how Mendoza’s one-year impact on the university is almost impossible to overstate. Then the conversation shifts to early spring-ball vibes, including the viral Nick Marsh gold cleats story and what it says about Curt Cignetti’s standards — plus Cignetti’s perfectly timed response to a TCU coach’s “turnovers” jab about Josh Hoover. Finally, they close with a quick Final Four in Indianapolis preview and thoughts on the matchups (Illinois/UConn and Michigan/Arizona) heading into the weekend.
