Hanika had 6 catches for 74 yds and 2 tds for KU.
Ex-Clones at other schools
- Thread starter demoncore1031
- Start date
He looked good. They said he was a 7th yr senior! Cant believe he is still around.
With the help of a big whiskey and a early bedtime for everyone else in my home, I looked back at the past 4 transfer classes and picked the names that stood out to me as contributors or once-promising young'ins. This is not comprehensive, the list is ordered from recent transfers to oldest, and all stats are just whatever was on team websites this evening.

| Jack Sadowsky | Northwestern | 4 | 4 tackles |
| Isaiah Alston | James Madison | 5 | 3 receptions for 31 yards |

| Kenard Snyder | Texas State | 5 | 15 tackles, 2 TFL, 1 Sack |
| JJ Kohl | App State | 3 | 15/32, 254 yards, 1 TD (started in win vs Oregon State this weekend) |
| Ryan Robinson | McNeese State | 4 | 4 tackles |
| Arlen Harris Jr | Missouri S&T | 6 | 55 carries for 219 yards, 2 TD, 5 receptions for 33 yards, 5 KR for 127 yards (25.4 avg) |

| Cartevious Norton | South Florida | 5 | 32 carries for 166 yards (5.2 avg), 2 TD, 2 receptions for 27 yards. Norton was carted off in Friday night's win; after the game Alex Golesch described it as "precautionary" |
| Terrel Crosby | Toledo | 5 | (moved to WR) 7 receptions for 74 yards, 1 carry for 6 yards |
| Eli Sanders | USC | 5 | 47 carries for 264 yards (5.6 avg), 2 TDs, 7 receptions for 115 yards (16.4 avg), 1 TD, 4 KR for 59 yards (15 avg) |
| Greg Gaines | Rhode Island | 6 | 26 receptions for 340 yards (13.1 avg) |
| DeShawn Hanika | Kansas | 5 | 10 receptions for 97 yards, 3 TDs |
| Craig McDonald | ??? | Iowa State > Auburn > Minnesota > Utah State commit in Jan 2025 but not on roster | |
| Aidan Bouman | South Dakota | 6 | 69/126 passing (55%), 8 TDs, 5 INTs |
| Isheem Young | Memphis | 4 | 2 tackles |
| Virdel Edwards | Hawaii | 6 | 14 tackles, 1 TFL, 1 PBU |
Crazy how the two big losses that helped lead to the establishment of We Will, Isheem Young and Craig McDonald, flamed out so bad. Addition by subtraction there.
Really happy for Eli Sanders. I really liked him as a player and was bummed to lose him because I thought he could be a good “joker” player for us. He really established himself as a true no. 1 back the last two years.
Miss Onyedim right now. Kind of an underrated loss for us.
I got my hopes up after Ezeogu’s pair of PBUs against Kansas State. Thought maybe he’d taken a jump. Alas, you’re spot on
Who is Miss Onyedim? Was she on the basketball team or the volleyball team
Going to need to hire a part-time staff member to keep this thread updated next fall!!!!!

It will be interesting to see how these guys do at their new school once the season starts. A large percentage transferred to another P4. On the surface I think that says Campbell and staff did a really good job of identifying talent. Or it in part is respect by other programs for the success at ISU recently. Pretty impressive list. Sad it all happened, but ready to move on with the new staff and players.
Agreed. Even our long snapper went to a good school, the national champions. We were set to return almost all of our starters. Kinda wish Penn State would have waited another year to poach Campbell.
Man—-the TE room was probably the best in school history. Yes, even better than the Kolar, Soehner, Allen group
Meh that group has a lot to prove yet before I’d put them ahead of that group. The potential of Brahmer has always gotten a lot more love than the results. Kolar is/was far better, easy to forget he was first team all big 12 three straight years. Love Burkle, but he’s not much different than Allen. And this recent TE room didn’t have a Soehner type.
Nope.
Brahmer has a ton of potential, but injuries have held him back.
The trio of Kolar, Allen and Soehner had over 3,000 yards, and were probably all better blockers than the recent guys. Kolar just signed a big NFL deal in large part due to his emergence as a high-level blocker, and he was the worst blocker of the three when at ISU.
Seeing @demoncore1031 lay out the list like that hurts.
I knew it intellectually but my oh my now it has sunk in.
Oh well. Still excited to see what the new-look program can do!

Thanks, I hate it.
