He's been cleared academically by ISU. If he's not cleared by the NCAA he cant play at ISU, another D1, FCS, D2 or D3 institution. His only option at that point would be NAIA or some level of pro football

If ISU cleared him it wouldn't make sense for the NCAA not to clear him. ISU surely knows the criteria for a kid to be eligible to go to school.
How long have you been an Iowa State fan??? This has nothing to do with the 'word' of the coaching staff, it is not about the history of this not working out.... I hope it all works out, reasons like this are why CW wanted ISU nutcups for sale....
Uhhh, because if he and the staff were right he would be here now.
You think the staff lied? You think they didn't say numerous times he would be a late arrival?
Gotta be hard to wake up every day thinking the worst about everything but many of you seem to be high functioning just the same.
Well he spelled "lose" wrong but hopefully he can still get eligible. It's okay, our President spelled "heal" wrong at least twice when he tweeted.
At first he was a mid year guy. Then it was June. Then July now August. I wouldn't say they lied, but they did jump the gun a little.
They're not lying. They're remaining optimistic. Many an ISU fan has been burned for being optimistic in the past.
At this point even if he does come, he is very far behind as far as practice and knowing the system goes. How long will it be before he can crack the rotation?
What did I say that was false? Nothing. I'm just happy that he is supposed to show up. We've seen plenty of situations like this not work out. I would expect him to be there this week and start getting into shape. If we see him before Akron or Texas, I'll be surprised and happy. Beats the alternative.
Good night. Of course they didn't lie. However they were wrong multiple times.
Now it sounds like he will be here and that is great news. Name me the last time this situation worked out. There is a big difference between being negative and playing the odds.
How do you feel you're playing the odds? Can you name one time CMC was wrong about a player coming into the program?
If by playing the odds you mean pointing to the crap that happened with CPR then you're playing the wrong game because he hasn't been here for a few years now.
Bust CMC's balls when he's steered us wrong or lied or misrepresented. I haven't seen nary a hint of that thus far.
Just checking in to see how you guys are holding up.
Well, DT isn't exactly rocket science. Considering Park was able to get playing time by week two of last season, I wouldn't be shocked to see Tongamoa getting some reps if we can get some separation over the purple hawks.
I don't get get it. How is it possible the NCAA is more stringent than ISU?
Also, the lower ncaa divisions have lower standards than D1/FBS.
I'm not busting his balls. I'd say NCAA wide the numbers of juco guys who show up 2 days before classes start is extremely low. Correct me if I'm wrong.
