Franklin couldn’t beat a team with a pulse and he lasted a decade
***Official portal tracker thread***
- Thread starter demoncore1031
- Start date
I know it’s early, but On3 currently lists eight with the only defensive player being Carnell. Add the recent the Manske news and that makes 8 of 9 being offense. Campbell will have zero pushback on any offensive guy, but the new DC may not want all three Cyclone LBs.
Edit: looks like all three of the LB guys are going to Ped st. Waiting on Burkle, Buhr, and Coop.

He'll get cheers and applause...but it will be years from now. People will soften over time...but not anytime soon.
If he doesn't do well at PSU in three or four years, MC is exactly the profile of a guy who goes to Mt. Union for the rest of the days and we never think about him again, unless CBS Sunday Morning does a soft focus fluff piece on him for winning a D3 championship there.
According to the Twitter
Iowa State is a poverty program and the players from Ames will be better used and developed at Sandusky Stat......I mean Penn State
By the same coach they had in Ames.....
I expect OL, TEs, and QBs to go along with Clanton/Mouser/Waters rather than everyone just going straight with Campbell. Landry/Kratch don't seem to have found a landing place, Rasheed is retired(?), Heacock is retired, Poteat is at MSU. Defense will be learning a new scheme so I expect the defensive transfers to go where they were being recruited out of HS or as $$ comes.
ISU was at the can make playoff level already even if they didn’t actually do it.
It is the same as people (rightfully) claiming that Indiana is at the can win a national championship level. They are, even if they don’t actually do it.
Is there a level for ISU between can make playoff and can win title? Maybe consistently make playoff?
I think that’s reasonable and a level ISU can make. Not sure can win title is reachable in the current climate though, but maybe there will be some secret to success in the portal era that lets financially disadvantaged schools compete?
You really have to wonder how many of these kids that are leaving will end up on scholarship next season, considering right now 40 to 50% of the players that enter the portal do not end up with an offer. The better players are going to be fine, but we lost a lot of players that were young and really have not produced a lot, so how much in demand is there going to be for some of them?
They better not copy our siren after TDs.
He came to them when they were coming out of their pedo coverup. No one wanted that job and they had to rebuild.
I wonder if some of the guys hurt or on D aren’t looking for offers to allow MC to beat the market.
Might be a tough sale to overpay at pedo otherwise
Cool. This thread needs more CPA talk!
I was in Dallas last December against Arizona State and no..........ISU was not even close to "can make playoff" level. We were just lucky enough to not have to play Colorado, BYU or Arizona State during the regular season. Look what happened this year when we did.
So yes........there is a next level. Will ISU ever get there, who knows. But to sit here and say ISU can't make the next level just because Matt Campbell walked is a bit petty assuming the person saying it is an ISU fan.
Not out of the current budget, but if Blum wanted to host a bake sale, I’d be all in with some “special brownies.”

Laughable. Rogers can achieve so much more than Campbell. I don’t think Campbells teams always looked so competent.
Campbell was a culture guy, where he got most of his mileage. Bench coach? Not so much. He talked up "winning in the margins," which over a 10 year span his teams were not good at, IMO. I'm also not going to forget that Campbell was very, very good for ISU football.
