Yeah, nothing he said in that interview excluded ISU, but what he said about Nebby seemed a bit more positive.
I am not too worried if we don't sign him. I think the next three years will be the Shontrelle show. We will probably sign a similar style back for depth though.

This is the same feeling I got. Sounds like a good kid. Here's hoping he picks the good guys...

I'm not seeing this supposed lean from the interview. He may very well pick Nebraska, but I don't think anything from that interview tips his hand.

He didn't say he wanted a good education. Just that education is important, like... a lack of one for football players.

Wheneveer a football player says something about education being important, it makes me think that it is just being thrown in there to make mom happy. Unless the guy is a really good student, I see it as the PC thing to say.

Now, I can see a kid being interested in a learning center specifically geared to athletics. That makes sense to me.

Yep, 'cause kids, especially athletes, don't really care about academics.:jimlad:

Oh I'm sure they care about academics but I am not as sure that it is a deciding factor in where they choose to play their football.

Unless your intended major is not offered at one of your top schools I guess.

That's just, like, my opinion man.:wink:

I actually read his comments and feel pretty good about our chances. He sounds like a kid that wants a staff that he likes (Iowa State), a kid that wants to be around people that are going to give 100% like he will (CPR), He wants to feel at home (Iowa State).

He likes the Big Ten (Nebraska).

So does the kid want to play in his favorite conference or does the kid want to play for a staff and a school that fits pretty much everything he is looking for in a college? My take.... advantage Iowa State.

FYI... he certainly isn't going to enjoy the Nebraska staff (Pelini brothers and a tool like Barney Cotton) as much as he will enjoy being around the ISU staff.

I don't know enough about Nebraskas system, but he seems like a perfect fit for ISUs system. SJ and Standard could wreak a lot of havok in Hermans backfield.

They certainly could. An offense like Hermans sure seems like it can benefit greatly from always having a fresh guy in the backfield. Having two talented guys in the backfield would go a long way in keeping the offense rolling for 4 quarters.
 
shontrelle and ARob could be an Awesome tandem in the backfield this year! We have a lot to look forward to!
