Jayden Nunn Decommits

[tyler24]

Who did Campbell not contact that was committed? I’m not saying you are wrong. I’m just not sure you know either.

Again, I said I was pretty sure. Not certain. I was thinking Hardy and Wonnum.

TJ should(and probably will) say nothing. Responding to an emotional teenager isn’t a recipe for success. Just let him go away.

I’m not sure the right move for Iowa State PR-wise is to go back-and-forth with a high school kid. You just let it die.

Agree. Unwinnable all around when the kid sets all the terms in a tweet.

 

[larrysarmy]

Just a heads up there are going to be some questionable moves coming up that make sense behind the scenes but you guys will surely freak out about lol

Well...that can’t be good. I’m sure some moves makes sense with some of the guys we have, but hopefully not with those we think make the most sense to stay.

A week? It's been about 74 hours since he was named head coach.

He has 12 players and 2 incoming recruits to evaluate. Who's to say he wasn't taking time to evaluate each player and since Nunn was the only one not signed or on the current roster that he would be contacting him soon?

“Hey, it’s nice to meet you, I just wanted to introduce myself and see if you hand any questions you wanted answered, in the meantime, I’ll be spending the next week evaluating players and coaches to decide on our future moving forward and will be speaking with you more at length at that time.”

The way he words it makes me feel bad. He really wanted to be a cyclone.

College athletics is a dog eat dog world. I get it both ways. Yes, it would be nice if he called and told him. However, TJ obviously has another plan and if Nunn isn't part of it, why waste the time? TJ has to worry about ISU and TJ, not Nunn. It's Nunns responsibility to worry about himself. Sounds harsh, but it's the truth.

“Why waste time”? Really? It’s called professionalism and not and ghosting people who wanted to come to Iowa State.

So do thousands of kids.

Every player enters the transfer portal....

Not all of them! We'll be keeping some good ones

 

[tyler24]

Have you ever submitted a resume to a job that didn't bother to call you back? I've also said, numerous times on here, I think he should have called him. I'm just saying there are more than just being the good guy. Good guy gets you Prohm.

 

[cyfanbr]

You people make life so effing difficult.... IF true that no one contacted Nunn then yes that’s a bad move and very disrespectful. However, we don’t know that for sure. So how about we wait a bit and see if more facts come out? In the mean time, we can discuss IF scenarios and not certainties like some of you seem to be arguing.

Come on. You know this is different.

Maybe he kid is lying and he did talk to TJ.

But maybe he’s not and TJ should have spent 10 minutes talking to him.

Lol. This isn’t submitting a resume. This was a commitment.

This is like a place actually offering you the job, you accepting it and then just never hearing back from them about your start date.

How do we know an assistant didn’t do exactly that and TJ would be getting back to him tomorrow? But the kid got impatient and frustrated and just decommitted this morning?

 

[jsb]

I’d rather have TJ contacting players he wants than players he doesn’t want

No ones looking for an hour conversation. 10 minutes.

 

[Cycl0nepower]

If Blackwell, Stone, Johnson, and Jackson leave, I won’t be mad.

 

[Clone95]

I notice Nunn did say he didn’t hear from the “new head coach” which makes it not look as bad because he obviously talked to an assistant or he’d have said that no one contacted him.

 

[cycloneworld]

Not all of them. But several of them.

Whose to say he wasn’t planning to? He’s been the coach for 3 damn days.
