Why? They were recruited by a different staff for a different offense. Doesn't mean they won't stay, but I will not be shocked or concerned if any player from this season leaves. Just the way of the world.
Rocco joining the Transfer Portal
- Thread starter hall4cy
- Start date
You sure?? The reports were that KS told the owner that their best QB wasn’t the starter at the beginning of the season and he was talking about Brock.
Sorry to see Rocco go. I wish him the best moving forward. All is not lost- it does free up a nice chunk of NIL money.
The fact is CMC has credibility with NFL scouts and front offices when it came to putting players there. CJFnR is going to have to develop and display that for a bit before his players are given the same opportunities. I think Rocco's best chance to make an NFL roster was staying, but if he was on the viewed as being on the outside edge of being a draftee, having a coach NFL teams trust for borderline guys might make the difference in getting there or not.
Not impressed by QBs playing against playoff-caliber defenses? Then compare to footage of our game against Colorado.
Sure it's business but it still sucks!
It's easy for me to wish Fred well with nebrasketball but it would be really hard to pull for Rocco at Husker football. I'd just tune it out because I can't pull against him.
I understand Rocco moving on, but I really respect him as a leader and believe his staying would go a long way to keeping more of last year's team intact for next year. But that isn't how any of this works. Best of luck to him, I hope he tears it up wherever he lands, assuming it's not PSU.
There's lots of mediocre in the SEC and we saw two mediocre teams play last night. Don't think much of teams like Oregon either. We'll see though, might be wrong on that one.
I was hopeful he’d stay for his senior season, but understand his desire to explore his opportunities
Thanks for not only being a great QB, but for being an even better person for the community. Not many players use their NIL money to host a football camp for a town that had many tragedies.
Even though you will no longer be in Ames, you will forever be remembered for your community support
Thanks, Rocco

It’ll get interesting for Matt. You pass on more talented portal QBs to pay your guy…you better hope it works.
Well, Rocco wasn’t a good fit for the offense and to be honest I really don’t think he is going to be hard to replace.
I will say this will officially start the domino effect .

Steele Janz didn't use his covid year did he? Just sayin.
My gun is reserved for @CoachHines3 mom.
This is a majestic ******* picture. Great find
You're right. It's just 'business'. And that is why I don't like it anymore. No loyalty. No dedication. Those are things when I was in college, stood for something. Let's be clear. I'm not bitter. I'm just simply stating that my fandom is stuck with the way things used to happen; bowl games spread across the holidays. But the CFP, the portal, NIL, AWOL players, etc have absolutely demolished my interest. I'm worried that basketball is next on the extermination list of media greed.
In my professional life? Yep.
So no tears when they go.
All transactional. Played/coached. Got paid. We watched. They move on. We move on.
No more. No less.
