2019 Joseph Thompson Commits
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
We keep seeing this over and over (e.g., Scates) where CMC just attracts great young men to Iowa State not just for football reasons only. He also seems to be conveying a message that he will be here long-term. ☺
So Campbell offered a kid and they committed?
What do coaches from other programs think of this?

Somebody should ask Brian Ferentz. He seems to be an aficionado of ISU recruiting.
I wonder what Campbell can do to piss him off this year? Mister "do it the right way" while living in low income housing.
After committing, Thompson visited Illinois and per 247 he is thinking about a flip. Wow his "commitment" was solid for what, 7 days? He may stay with ISU but why are you taking visits a week after you supposedly gave your word to CMC? SMH!
I've gotten to the point where I'm with the recruit on this approach. Why not take the first offer you like, and then if something better comes along, then go with that, and then if something else even better comes along, go with that one, etc, etc.
If you verbal commit, it really means nothing, but hopefully locks down a spot with a school you like that you can always fall back on if nothing better ever comes along. Actually a smart move by the kid. Coaches don't always honor their "commitments" to these kids, so why should the kid? CMC bolted on his guys at Toledo to come here, and someday he'll probably ditch the ISU guys to go somewhere else too.
I get that. But his visit was to Illinois. C'mon man.
It's like going out with the chick that you likes friend so that she might want to go out with you.
He had visited Illinois before multiple times. I mean, he is from Illinois. His teammate that also has an ISU offer and has visited Ames, WR Fabian McCray, is thought to be an Illinois lean. But that isn't new info, McCray had been a lean to Illinois before the commitment. There's also this:
