This is probably a cope with losing Milan but I did see a tweet saying there hasn't really been a decommit that has gone on to have a really great career during the Campbell era. Is that true?
Any Iowa State decommits that have gone on to have great careers?

Pretty sure R Mason Thomas is an impact player at OU right now
That kicker Cole Becker comes to mind. Pretty sure he had a good career post ISU.
Miyan Williams to OSU is a good one too

I frankly don't follow those player's careers. They made a choice they felt was in their best interest and decommitted from ISU. Wish them well and move on
DJ Wonnum was a stud South Carolina and has had a good NFL career, he decommited right after Rhoads was let go.
Miyan Williams had his moments at Ohio State and is in the CFL now. Would have been the man in Ames.
Ben Sauls was another kicker that went on to success at Pitt and is now on Falcons practice squad.
Xavier Townsend doesn't really count since he's in Ames now, but was impactful for UCF his first few years after his initial decommitment.
Plenty of others that have had decent roles but not stars.

We could have really used him as a pass rusher the last couple years. Losing out on him and Blake Purchase still stings.
Haven't had a great pash rusher since Will McDonald. Imagine pairing up Orange and R Mason Thomas in the 3-3-5
Our lack of getting quality edge rushers has what has held us back from taking that next step. That said, it's the hardest position to recruit in college, so it's no wonder those are the ones that have stung the most. I'm sure Parris is a great player and kid, but losing out on a WR isn't too scary to me. We've proven we can recruit and develop that position well.
Personally I don't even follow recruiting much so don't even remember any one's name so far in the thread.
4 or 5 stars is great but doesn't mean much if it's not a good fit for various reasons.
Holy F*ck, you made me panic and start scouring social media thinking Momcilivic left. And then I realized this thread was in "football". Please use first names only responsibly.
People forget DJ Wonnum. DAWG!
Not a commit (nearly was), but Kenyon Sadiq will likely be a first rounder next May

They weren’t commits but had us in the running…
- Johnny Manziel
- Joe Burrow (post OSU)
- Nick Singleton RB PSU (offered early)
- Drew Allar QB PSU (offered early)

Probably doesn't count because he never committed, but I thought we were close to landing Kenyon Sadiq before Oregon came in and offered.
Kaleb Johnson was a silent commit to Iowa State, before he committed to Cal, and later flipped to Iowa
Did we take Cartevious Norton over him, or was Norton the backup after we missed on Johnson?
