Are we taking more PWOs than in the past? I don't recall ever hearing so much about so many.

I can see how we might take more PWOs, hoping they pan out, as we possibly lose scholarship level recruits due to NIL. Not saying that's the case, but just wondering why so many this year.

I'm not convinced NIL will really affect us that much. I see CMC as going after the kids that want to develop their skills and their character under a top notch staff. The kids looking for NIL bags of cash were never going to come here anyway even before NIL. Just IMHO.

Are we doing the Nebby/KState route of the 90’s and developing underrecruited Midwest guys into monsters?

I've got 13 in 2021 (https://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/threads/2021-football-targets.235779/) and Bjorn is the 13th this year.

Thanks for that, but wasn't 2021 affected by NIL also?

Only 105 players can be on the roster before school starts...so I would assume they can take up to 20 since 85 scholarship players. PWO from previous years just wait until school starts to join the team, then there is no limit to players on a roster.

Ok. 20 PWOs in 2020. Guess I was wrong. For some reason the acquisition of them this year just has seemed more widely discussed. Probably just me.

It's social media, making it's way here. Been covering ISU recruiting since 2016 and it's never been more easy to get all the info just from Twitter.
