Tom Herman comments on Iowa State's recruiting

[clonedude]

I LOVE IT!!!

I never understand why coaches whine about how ISU recruits when there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. If what CMC is doing is some kind of advantage, then why aren't you doing it? It's not illegal.

I keep going back to when anchoring the long putters against your body was completely legal in the PGA, but some golfers would complain that it was an unfair advantage. If it's an advantage, and it's legal, then why aren't you doing it?

The fact that Texas is whining about ISU in recruiting is AWESOME! You can tell CMC loves it too. His response was perfect by saying "I love the flattery from Texas..... ".

If this is what did it for you, then you must not know much about his time in Ames or Columbus, and one can assume Houston and Austin.

Feel bad for his wife.

How does one find out about those times?

Tom Herman said, "Iowa State led all power five schools with documented scholarship offers. He said Texas had the fifth fewest. He wants everybody to know when they make an offer, it's because they wanted their guy."

When they notice you it means they do not like how you are now a viable threat to recruiting and wins.

 

[tolfbfan]

Do you have any idea how much CMC and staff are loving this?

There may of had an impromptu pizza party celebrating and laughing.

Jackwagons make it sound like a bad thing. Sounds like hard work by our coaches.

Never been a fan. Not sure why this was a subject for him. We didn't steal a recruit from him that I'm aware of so why would he care? Maybe he's just a ****. I mean, he basically said the same thing as Brian and he's a ****. Simple math.

How does one find out about those times?

Rather not get into it on a message board, but after what I heard from a number of people, I don’t hold an ounce of respect for him.

Someone should ask Tom why our offense sucked under his reign.

Wasn't the punter the MVP of their bowl game?

That's a nuclear powered offensive attack for team cow

 

[CycloneVet]

We have a special coach.

Our traditional rival and our conference overload has mentioned ISU

This is what the beginning of a golden era of Cyclone Football looks like.

I love the smell of victory in the morning

I would like to use napalm on both programs

Campbell needs an interpreter for what he's really thinking when he speaks respectfully about situations.

ISU just got a freakin' QB that chose them over Ala-freakin'-bama.

What's Herman want, an apology?

Watch Bevobase say he needs to offer more scholarships if he doesn't win much the next two seasons.

The rivalry is back on!

This makes me just appreciate CMC and the staff that much more!! It's really cool to see how our coaches (& Prohm's staff too) handle themselves. They always take the high road and hold themselves to a higher level of class and dignity. No way was CMC going to stoop to Herman's whiny d-bag level. Fantastic!

So grateful for what we have at ISU! Pollard deserves a lot of credit as well.

 

[cygrads]

ISU isn't a traditional power so the only way to get kids to pay attention is to offer and a lot of the time we are their first major offer.

 

[HFCS]

Whatever gets us our highest rated class ever (within NCAA rules)...I'm totally fine with.

Did Texas get their best class of all time and I didn't hear about it? ISU did.

 

[heitclone]

Herman's longest tenure anywhere as a coach is 3 years.....that means he's never seen ONE kid step on campus and finish his 4/5 years. I'm sure he's upfront to recruits about that fact.

Couldn't agree more. Our coaches are honest, humble, and authentic. What great representatives of ISU!

This reminds me just a tiny bit of Fran's "Right Way".

Man I will be thrilled if the results are exactly that lopsided.

 

[BWRhasnoAC]

Sour grapes much Herman? Your offenses sucked when you were here btw.

That's it. The way ISU was doing it was not working, stay away form good kids and take chances on the next level down of kids. The new way is to give out offers to good kids and hope a few of them accept.

Doesn't seem we offer 100 schollys in a days time. Looks like we offer a certain amount and after a commitment is made to a different school we decide to move on or not. If we move on we probably inform the recruit congrats we will move on.
