Good sir, there were people on this site worried Rocco would transfer because they “heard” his dad was the next coach at WVU

A lot guys probably heard from teams throughout the season. Our staff probably reached to guys on other teams during the season.
That does NOT mean “he’s basically gone” your words not mine.
If you have an $12 a month you could get the correct information on this very site.
The person that I hear things from that usually is clued in is pretty pessimistic so that could certainly be the case!
I rank the worry for Becht and Orange at the same level. Neither was super concerning. IMO from the sources I know close to the program, the 2023 offseason was much more concerning. Big Citrus reportedly had a huge bag thrown at him from Georgia last year

Interesting. I looked up his Twitter and thought he'd still be coaching. So I suppose the agent money must be better than coaching money now.
Yup. Dom had opportunities, but preferred to stay at ISU. WeWill did what they could and his mother loves CMC and ISU. Onyedim got paid, to suggest Dom couldn’t (get even more) is dumb. He stayed for the right reasons, let’s give him the respect he deserves. Loyal Son.
Was far closer to going early entry. This is a perfect spot for him, and he knows it.
The only question was whether he wanted to roll the NFL dice.
Same choice for Coop.
I can’t see much, so someone may have mentioned this already.

Retaining Dom was huge for this offseason. I really think he can be All Big 12 at DT this upcoming season. Gives us a threat to rush inside / disrupt plays.
For the D, I'd still like to see a transfer DE or LB or DT for extra support.

Or he didn’t have a high paying coaching job offer. Or he was ready to transition out of coaching.
For sure...and likely this first go around for the NIL brokers like him and his skills/connections made this a good opportunity
I have zero doubt he'd be making more somewhere else. This staff has done an incredible job at making these young men want to stay in ames for the most part.
Dom could get paid more to play elsewhere, but he’ll be the big swinging **** in ISU’s locker room next year. He’ll be featured in all of next season’s promotions. Big Citrus is a brand name that stands out in Ames. I’m sure he could be successful elsewhere, but having a brighter profile can improve your draft status. Hopefully we can find him some help off the edge to slow down those double and triple teams and he can put up some stats.

I think they have 3 QBs transferring out. I don't get why any QB would even consider going to Iowa.
