Last year wasn't bad. Landing Bolton was big obviously and on paper getting Grill over some other major conference programs was a win

Yeah --

Bolton
Grill
Johnson

...was not a bad spring recruiting season.

This is just brutal, though.

I would imagine a lot of these kids are hearing "do you really want to play for a guy that will be gone after next year?" His job status has to be killing us with recruits.

Looks like the uncertainty of prohm being around long term is hurting recruiting

Did Jamie Pollard make some announcement I missed? Last I checked Steve Prohm was the HC at ISU and will be for foreseeable future.

Only people talking about Prohm being dead man walking are fans on forums and twitter.

Everyone is at home..all recruits are at home..all day..every day. To think they aren't reading up on the general fan feel is completely naïve. No I don' think they are making final decisions on this but it certainly isn't helping that's for sure.

Maybe everyone needs to shut up and let Prohm do his job without the fan base stabbing him in the back 1000x a day.

It's bad enough players cannot visit which is a strong appeal for ISU and kids coming here..now they get to not come for visits and sit at home sifting thru information on where they want to go..

I can't help but wonder. If we really continue to strike out on transfers and then on 21 recruiting, at what point does Pollard have to step in. I realize it's only April, and I don't know if the transfer season is elongated or expedited. Feels like we are past just concerned.

I didn't want to have to be the one to say it put JP will 100% give CSP a pass on this spring. Not being able to get guys on campus due to Covid-19 is a huge roadblock for Iowa State. If he has a respectable class put together in the fall I don't think next seasons results will matter much as long as the young guys appear to have upside.
