I would like to keep the good vibes going. Deon, thanks for choosing to be a Cyclone. I love what our coaching staff has been building and I'm glad you have chosen to be part of that.

Does ISU have Phil Knight and his Nike money? Are we in that universe that can afford to recruit nation wide?
Comparing to ISU to Oregon and the money they can afford to spend on sports is laughable.
I guess every OSU fan would switch places with Oregon right now, and the money that Nike gives them.
Not one person on this thread has said anything negative about our new recruit, I am excited that he choose ISU and look forward to him tearing it up on the field.
I just wish he had better in state talent from Iowa to play with.

That 4 star kid from Ida Grove had all of zero P5 offers outside of iowa. He had someone from 24/7 fall in love with him and that's it. Our staff has zero problem handing out offers. Yet they didn't offer. Maybe the kid will end up being good, but they obviously passed on that kid. And so did everyone else.
Maybe, I hope you are right and he never plays a down for them. Doesn't change that we are getting our ass kicked in the instate recruiting. Some here are fine with that, the ol, "we can get better kids outside the state", maybe, but its cheaper to recruit the top instate kids, instate vs out of state tuition, and it helps when you try to recruit the next group of instate kids the following season.
Honestly, I was in awe at that tape. He blew by players like they were standing still. And it seemed every highlight was a touchdown. So, that got me to wondering, if you remove those touchdowns, what is his average yd/carry after that? Just wondering. That, and too lazy to do the math, but would love it if one of you statisticians would.
We're getting better talent from other states, who gives a fuk where they come from?
Agree, Iowa State is a "nationwide brand"
so it's pretty normal to be able to pick up student athletes who fit our system and are a success with us, no matter where they are from.
I still couldn't care less about that, I trust this staff to get the best players available. If you're making a great meal you dont just buy from the small town gas station, you will need to go where the ingredients are more plentiful. Kinda like what Campbell has been doing.
One doesn't have to be a Hawkeye to be stupid.Granted, being a Hawk fan guarantees it.
Isn't just population density, in the State of Iowa, that will show where the recruits are year after year?
I'm not going to get into stars but CMC DOES have to recruit better to consistently win more.

Weird that the guy that "accidentally body slammed" the child was not charged (at the time of this report anyway) but West was for not reporting it?
Then why post it in a thread titled in this recruits name who isn't even from the state of Iowa?
There is a little button near the top where you can start your very own forum on any topic you want.
BTW, I'm not trying to pick on you as it is a common occurrence on this board.

Paging @Sigmapolis His analysis is always fantastic!
Ya Iowa doesn't have that much talent in general. Get over it. Hawks will be Hawks. Take the best 25 regardless of location.
