BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – After assembling his staff of hands-on assistants and physical development staff, new Indiana head coach Curt Cignetti is continuing the process of building his front office structure.

A source confirmed the report of the hire to TheHoosier.com.
Ferrara possess a background with heavy SEC flare; he worked previously as an undergrad at Tennessee, spent time on staff with Texas A&M, and arrives at Indiana now after the two previous years with the LSU program.

At LSU, under Ferrara, the Tigers inked top-15 recruiting classes in each season, per Rivals' team rankings.
