Players staying and leaving for 21-22 season

[GetAwesome]

Likely Staying:
WR: Joe Scates (Based on twitter post)

I noticed the inclusion of Scates on the OP's list, and it felt odd but I didn't give it much thought until I just saw another tweet from Scates himself today.

Are we going to start speculating on every underclassman who isn't in the starting lineup? And why the heck are fans asking him such questions directly?

b/c fans on twitter are morons.

Heh, okay, I feared I already knew that answer. We the Internet are the worst.

Let me try to rephrase: Why are some worried about Scates specifically amongst the dozens of talented underclassmen we have that aren't starting? Was there a specific event I missed earlier this year, or rumors floating around earlier this season?

i agree, though.

its almost as if you don't play or get limited snaps you're automatically going to transfer. That just the culture of overall CFB, i think.

not the culture at Iowa State.

Love Kene, the epitome of student athlete!

Nwangwu was great for us, but I really think that Brock and some other players and ready (and able) to fill the void.

Nwangwu likely won't get drafted, but I'll be surprised if he doesn't land on a team and have a solid 5-10 year career with ST duties and some scat back snaps. He has speed, plays hard, and rarely makes mistakes. Best of luck to Nene and hopefully he gets drafted (making his path easier).

Next man in on the depth chart at RB and kick returns. Jirehl Brock is a perfectly capable backup RB and already was seeing meaningful snaps on passing downs as a blocker. He'll probably get a shot as the #1 KR too and would guess that Milton will be in the mix there too. This staff has done a great job filling in spots when a key player is done and I would expect they already anticipated Kene and Lang leaving before it became public. We already know Hall is likely gone after next year too so RB certainly will be a focus in recruiting.

I just added him because I saw a tweet from him early on about next year. Just trying to give as much clarity as possible on next year's team.

I think it’s more that he was a high four star who “hasn’t developed”, and some people expect him to try somewhere else, settle for a smaller school.

Me, I think that it’s just that he hasn’t put it all together yet, and hope he has a good Sean Foster impression waiting in him.

Preferably this fall. This kid has tons of talent and athleticism.

Joshua Bailey entering transfer portal! Interesting...

Good for him. He can find a place to get more snaps. Best of luck to him

And he also got “a part of” correct. We’re raising them well!

I feel like he was set to get a lot of snaps next year.... this one surprises me. Maybe he knows Lee will start and Singleton will be 2nd string ahead of him?

Does make sense with his brother leaving.

I noticed that, too. Credit to the staff that these announcements are (now) all being done with ISU branding/marketing materials instead of screenshots from a notepad app.

Enyi coming back!

 

[Aclone]

Enyi coming back!

Well, that’s a surprise. I had him penciled in under “go get paid!”

 

[Cyforce]

Enyi coming back!

Awesome, now if we get Hummel the defensive returners will match Allen and Foster on O.

 

[cyclonedave25]

Enyi coming back!

This is huge.
