Where was the insider heads up? Why pay for premium content

who pissed in your cheerios

If he ends up at a different school he's no longer a cyclone. I know I should probably re-wire my brain in this new dumb transfer age but nah 3 years and then bouncing is lame.

Hope he stays in the draft.

I think this has AJ Green vibes. Probably has at least a 2 way deal locked in. I’m guessing he’ll be playing pro ball next year. Hope anyway.

Well I genuinely hope he is in the NBA and stays in the process, I don’t think I could stand watching him in another college jersey that’d suck.

 

[awd4cy]

So what exactly does this mean? He got good feedback from the NBA?

Not necessarily. Just could be going to a college that’s gonna pay him way above 3 mil.

 

[Pat]

Nothing precludes him from coming back still. Really stupid that all of the logistics with this don't line up in a way that makes sense.

Like others said this is actually probably helpful to us.

If I were him I would just be planning to come back while still going through the process for more feedback, but get the goal to get to the NBA could be too enticing.

Nothing but budget. ISU isn’t going to hold his bag and wait.

 

[casey1973]

I bet he goes to another school. Just can't afford him with everybody else coming on board.. Hope I'm wrong.

 

[awd4cy]

I’m afraid that will happen. Just hope it’s not in the Big 12 or hawks

Lol, Iowa can’t pay him what he is looking for.

 

[Rogue52]

Don’t rationalize this. It sucks to lose Milan. As others have said, let’s hope he stays in the DRAFT otherwise it will really suck. All trust in TJ, but I feel a bit underwhelmed in the transfer class if we don’t have $3 million tied up with Milan. But I know it is the wild Wild West right now.

 

[bosco]

No it's not. Money has been set aside for him, but the urgency of getting a roster together for next year does not align with the NBA Draft timeline. He wanted to stay but he wanted to also get as much valuable feedback from the NBA as possible.

Wasn't referring to money from us.

 

[cytor]

Will some other school wait for him? It's foolish to wait in this era.

 

[awd4cy]

I expect nothing less from you Bieber...Almost like you'll enjoy him not being a Cyclone.

He’s not wrong though. This is NIL. It’s near impossible to retain a guy like Milan their whole career. He’s gonna get paid way more than in Ames.

I don’t buy this at all. He’s good enough to hold a spot for him. It’s definitely money.

The Hawkeyes have less NIL money than the Cyclones. that's not happening.

NBA or Florida Gators

 

[CycloneDaddy]

Dear little baby Jesus dont make me see Mommy in a Florida Gators jersey next year.

Sounds like a great way to destroy interest in the college game.

 

[heitclone]

I won't wish him any ill will at another school but the reality is he'd end up at big ten, Sec or blue blood that I just can't bring myself to ever root for any way. I'm not going to cheer for Kentucky or Duke to have success just bc they have former Cyclones.

 

[coolmooinlou]

I realize this was likely inevitable but I'm still very sad. Certainly wish him well.

 

[GoSTATE71]

I mean he likely can get some sort of 2 way deal I’m guessing like AJ Green.

 

[ISUAgronomist]

Blue bloods will make a spot if he doesn't stay in the draft. Money is no object and kids get "released" from their school all the time.
