Interesting story on Milan's signing process with Kentucky

Thought this was interesting in contrast to Milan's $6.5M contract

I was doing a bit of digging on where players landed. Does anyone know if everyone found a home?

Hi Fanatics. There have been some cool posts on here by people with their man caves or other cool Cyclones gear. I thought it'd be neat to have a threat if people had "extras" they'd be willing to swap...whether it be unique or cool Cyclone items or autographs.

I guess post what you may have you're looking for or wanting to trade. For instance, I have a couple CPR autographed game programs, a FB team signed poster from last year, a vintage ISU button up coat, that I'd be willing to swap for other stuff people may have.

If you’re bored this offseason, a buddy of mine created a Cyclone basketball lineup builder game inspired by the 82-0 game that has been popular recently. Feel free to try it out and share some of the cool squads you made!

Thought I'd start a new thread for non-Bridget Carleton pro league talk. Didn't want to resurect a dormant thread that was likely mostly Calark talk from a couple of years ago.

So, Big 12 related and local for me:

Big 12 POY Olivia Miles is having a great start to her pro career with the Lynx. Had a WNBA rookie record 8 threes the other night. Truthfully have not paid them much attention to the Lynx since Carleton got drafted away from them and with Collier still out. Might have to give them a look but don't have the local subscription so won't see them much.

Time to get these going again. April was a crazy at work with a new football regime change. Time to get these back up and going. Pre the last CF vote after Villain's is fast food. Obviously we need to discuss what encompasses fast food and if pizza places count.

Another ask for committee members always nice to get some new blood in.

New wrinkle because always looking to innovate. We normally do a non cf poll vote after submissions are closed and top vote getters represent the people. Now instead of that for those wanting a say but don't have time to be on the committee I want people to send me via pm their 1-64 and I will add them to all of the committee's members lists.

2027 dual-threat QB Blake Moser commits to Iowa State as a wide receiver, he announces on social media.

The three-star from Lake Stevens, Washington led his team to the 4A state title game, compiling 3,462 all-purpose yards and 55 touchdowns as a junior. https://cyclonefanatic.com/2026/06/iowa-state-lands-commitment-from-2027-wr-blake-moser/

Yeah, I'm a Buffy fan, and this sucks so much.

So long Thunderstruck. What will it be?

In honor of this great holiday, what is your favorite cheese?

For this segment, we’ll explore songs with lyrics/title that reference SPECIFIC names of establishments that provide food as a primary or significant offering, including these categories of convenience store, restaurant, bar&grill and grocery store.

We DO NOT ACCEPT generic references to those terms. So, something like “I went to the restaurant” wouldn’t count.

It must involve a real-life establishment, not fictional. (Defunct eateries are fair game).

Just curious what events people have gone to or plan on going to. Our big pride event is actually in July out here, but still lots of other stuff. My large employer is having a drag bingo contest next week, hah!

Iowa State earns its second commitment in 24 hours, this time in Farmington, Missouri, LB Josh McCarthy.

The 6-foot-1, 217-pound McCarthy picked up his Iowa State offer during Iowa State’s prospect camp on June 4th.

Murph and Andy posed a question about which former ISU athlete will be hardest for ISU Fans to watch in a different uniform next season. I thought I'd bring it to this group. Sorry if I missed it posted elsewhere.

Iowa State and Jimmy Rogers landed their 11th commitment to the 2027 recruiting class in Utah native Cash Hollingshead.

The 6-foot-3, 205-pound quarterback was invited to the Los Angeles Elite 11 Regionals this past February and held only one other offer from Northern Arizona.

Read more about the Utah native below in an interview with Cyclone Fanatic.

Are we watching in black and white or full hue color? What is canon?

With the proposal being 5 years of eligibility for 5 years after high school graduation, how will this affect BYU and their players ? Will going on Mission for 2 years count or will they all get deferments?

Outside of a flame thrower, what's the most effective solution against these bastards when I'm trying to enjoy being on my deck?

I hesitate to copy & paste paywall content, but I will here to get this recruiting thread going. Matscout Willie does a nice job of summarizing where we are & where we should go.

Iowa State Cyclones
Needs: Everything

First Call: #42-Mac Crosson (IA) and #45-Max Dhabolt (IA)

Why: Guess how many commits ISU has for 2026. Wrong. Zero. They have no commits for next year and had just one (#14-Christian Castillo) in 2025. That's not to say Coach Dresser can't recruit. No, far from it. It's to say the Cyclones should have a gang of money. And they'll need it. 8 of this year's 10 starters will be JR's or SR's.

The good news is that the state of Iowa has an above average group of prospects in 2027 - ten Big Boarders in total.

If I were Dresser & Co., I'd start by locking down Crosson and Dhabolt to get off to an early start before hitting more both in-state and nationally.

Who They Are: Crosson and Dhabolt were both 3rd at state as FR and won state titles as Sophs. Dhabolt also made Fargo finals. Both are growing significantly and I think could project to very fine starters in the 165-174 range.

Others: #38-Dawson Youngblut (IA), #50-Gavin Landers (IA), #53-Grayson Fuchs (MI), #71-Brayden Koester (IA)
