Charlie Rogers transferred to IWCC?
- Thread starter SimpsonCyclone
- Start date
No idea what to think here. Disappointment is first reaction though.
Edit: and second thought is: does this change the relationship between ISU coaches and the IWCC program?

Doubt it, one person transferring there from here isn't going to stop them from recruiting the plethora of talent that goes through there every year.
Not at all, maybe even improves the relationship. I'm sure he decided to leave and then IWCC got involved. It's not like they recruited him while he still wanted to be at ISU.
This sucks though, he must have taken getting benched in favor of Tribune a lot harder than it seemed.
Not necessarily...might have been a 'let's sit down and talk about your future' discussion with him, and if he didn't see a lot of field time, he maybe mentioned transferring. IWCC's game will be getting guys to D1 programs. Might be a case where ISU looks at it where it didn't work out, him going to IWCC might be a you scratch our back, we'll scratch yours if we get something like this.
Yeah, I'm sure behind the scenes this is a "scratch/scratch" type of deal. it does create a weird wrinkle...if he does good there...do we re-recruit him? You'd think so...and hope we had the advantage...but what if for whatever reason he didn't do well...and we didnt...just kinda odd all around.
I never had the impression he was "benched in favor of Tribune". He was playing nickel by then, not corner.
Perhaps he simply wants a chance to play safety (or corner), and knew that ISU needed him at nickel. We'll see. Good luck to him.
I don't know. It's not like he wasn't anywhere close. He was likely going to compete for a bunch of different spots so at this point in the year, I don't see the reasoning. He could have gone through spring ball and with a good spring been the guy to beat at a number of positions. It all just doesn't make sense to me if it's playing time related.
They elevated Tribune over Rogers. That's not a secret and it's not debatable. They didn't think Rogers was as good of an option after the UNI game.
Does anyone remember him playing badly? I thought he played pretty well didn't he?
It's not "elevating" Tribune over Rogers if Charlie is playing a different position. I don't believe Rogers played a single down at CB after the UNI game. He played solely at the nickel.
Didn't he start the UNI game at CB? I understand he was playing Nickel the rest of the season but if he was better then Tribune why wouldn't the coaches have left him at the spot where he'd get the most snaps?
From the outside it looked to me like the coaches preferred Tribune at CB so Rogers got put back into the Nickel.
It's not like I watched tape but he didn't have a whole lot of action on his side, which is a good sign. I was surprised Richardson and Tribune started the next game and not Rogers and Tribune.
