Simple? LOL.It really is that simple. No player with his offer list and rating would have came to Iowa State in 2017 unless they were a legacy recruit like Lazard. Players being recruited by national championship contenders dont want to play for programs who could barely win 2 games a season.
Things are different now, so if he was a 2019 or 2020 recruit Campbell would have been all over him and Iowa State would definitely be in play for recruits of his caliber. Campbell isnt dumb, he obviously knew he had no chance and didnt want to waste a bunch of time on him when he took over the program.
