Iowa State earns commitment from 2026 QB Kase Evans

[VeloClone]

No blue blood school is hiring Campbell until he proves himself a hell of a lot more than he has here. That 2022 season with that talent will haunt him unless some blue blood is desperate for a change.

A lot of talent for ISU, laughable for a blue blood.

Do you actually remember the program BEFORE Campbell? FFS, now, if we don't go 10-2, we are disappointed. Before CMC, we were happy for 8-4. He's got nothing to prove.

Before Campbell we were happy to go 6-6.

I should have said, by a lot more, I meant winning Big 12 title or two. Agree, he doesn't have much else to prove HERE. Just don't see a major program asking him to come aboard until he "proves it" under major circumstances.

ISU had a lot of NFL players on that team.

We have as many wins this year as I had in my junior and senior year combined. Things have gotten so much better.

‘22? Seriously?

‘22? Seriously?

Relative to ISU historically. I was thinking of '21 though. That was Purdy's last year right?

For fun though:
Noel
Hutchinson
McDonald
Porter
Dekkers (debatable)
Orange
Cooper
Verdon
Likely a TE I'm just not sure on the classes of current guys on the team
Jontez?

Probably a few I'm forgetting

I figured it was ‘21 the OP was thinking about, too. The problem with that team was, they’d already hit all their realistic marks with pounding the Ducks in the Fiesta Bowl, and all those seniors just didn’t have the same hunger.

A problem it looks like the ‘26 Cyclones aren’t going to have.

Ya idk if it was motivation. Didn't most of those guys come back to do more?

You're not wrong, but I still want that sweet sweet 10-2.

I love Campbell and I appreciate everything he's done here, but I hate this argument. The schedule we play now doesn't even come close to comparing to those schedules at the end of the CPR era.

Sure, but “coming back to do more” and “being hungry enough to put every erg of your being into it” are two entirely different things.

I can't recall. Did we have any NFL talent on

Yes, my goof. 21 was the huge expectation season with all that senior talent.

Except we had Chizik Coins!!!!!!!! Undeniably better than going to a bowl game!

Do we have a percentage of how committed he is?

69,420%

Everything we have is because of Campbell

I disagree on 8-4, we were happy with 6-6 and estastic with 7-5

 

[t-noah]

69,420%

But with a high standard deviation, is this really the expected value?

 

[t-noah]

I'm not sure what I just said.

Agree. An 8-4 year would be considered magical pre-Campbell.

Campbell would do just fine at a wealthy school (e.g., sec, big). One can ony hope he wants to stay here. He likes it here and is appreciated here. If he were to go to a Blue Blood program, if offered, he might get fired after 3-4 years going 8-4 or 7-5.
