‘25 Roster Is Out

[nrg4isu]

We’ve never won double digit games.
Campbell can’t beat Iowa.
We always have slow starts.
We can’t win a bowl game.
We’ve never had a first round pick.

We’re running out of “nevers”.

The next "never" will be the >100 years since winning the conference. Honestly that's the last one that I feel is slightly embarrassing and honestly it's not that embarrassing with everything else ISU has accomplished.

You know what’s even more embarrassing?

We didn’t even actually win the conference then. People just say that we did.

Did Logan Bacon transfer out? He's not on the roster.

Every year of the Campbell era we have replaced top wideouts with the next great ISU WR (or multiple)

Lazard then Butler/Jones then Hutchinson then Higgins/Noel then…..

Thats fair, but lets also remember WR is the least important position on offense.

I'd rather have a B+ o-line and D- WRs than A+ WR and C+ o-line. MUCH rather.

I don’t know that I agree with that completely.

You’ve got to have threats to stretch the field/open things up for the running game.

Not if you can bull people up front and open holes. KF (for example) has had a lot of success running the ball with good lines, but a deep threat approximately as threatening as you and me lining up wide.

But I get what you're saying, and there's some chicken-egg there. A deep threat can indeed pull safeties back to make running easier. But a good line and run game pulls safeties up to allow for a deep threat.

I'd much rather have the latter as it is more consistent and less chance of turnovers.

You say that like we can’t have both?

The summer newcomers are on the roster now.

Chase Sowell's brother is listed as a true freshman DB. Must be a walk-on?

I will just drop this little gem right here (for Father's Day).

The summer high school enrollees are now added. At least, I found Zay Robinson (#13).

Heights and weights probably not updated for another month or so.
