Head coach Curt Cignetti and his staff were new at that point — they talked a big game, but they were up against a long, overwhelmingly rough track record. So when Cignetti led the Hoosiers to a historic season in 2024, Savage watched from afar with increasing confidence of his eventual college decision.
