As noted in
this post, the bolded in-state recruits are all going to other programs (including four to other Upper MW programs) that play in smaller VB only venues including Creighton, KSU and KU who are all in a better spot as a program than ISU currently is. ISU does have a couple of in-state committed recruits on this list. One is a 5-9 OH and the other is a legacy.
And watching games at these smaller VB only venues is a better experience than watching games at Hilton. Heck, I recall CJL admitting the advantage they had playing at Ames HS for a season when Hilton was unavailable.
