Join CF After Dark: Iowa State's Most Active Fan Discord

I don't want to overreact to anything. I'm a rational Iowa State fan.

That being said, Jimmy Rogers is currently undefeated as Iowa State's head coach, which means the dynasty has technically already begun.

If you're looking for a place to spend the next several months wildly oscillating between "we should temper expectations" and "Jimmy Rogers is about to build the greatest program in college football history," then CF After Dark Discord is where you belong. We're entering a new era of Cyclone football, and naturally the only sensible response is to discuss every practice report, recruiting rumor, and coach interview in exhausting detail.

The first 2028 Big Board is out by MatScouts. As noted elsewhere, no official contact is allowed by schools until April, 2027. At first glance, this appears to be a bit of a down year for Iowa rising juniors.

Top Ranked Iowa recruits:
Max Purdy #54 Davenport Assumption 190 LB
Meric Hagerty #85 Waverly Shell Rock 215
Calvin Rathjen #93 Ankeny 165
Dylan Williamson #98 Van Meter 113
Eaghan Fleshman #112 Alburnett 285
Cruz Gannon #118 Dowling 113
Hendrrix Schwab #136 Don Bosco 120

Of course, the staff will be recruiting nationwide but there are names here we all recognize. Feel free to add anything you're hearing about visitors, interests, etc.

**** WNBA 2026 Season Thread ****

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.

Serious Question: How does ISUs football recruiting look so far?

I've seen us sign a few future guys recently. What are the trends you're seeing and what about the level of talent so far. To me, it seems like we're defensive focused and O-line focused. It also feels like the dudes we're getting are similar to a Campbell-type level of talent.

Anyone feel like they have a grip on how our coaches are really doing so far? I'll hang up and listen.
