It's clearly not directed at this kid personally. I'm glad he's committed and I have no reason to think he's not true to it. It's more a commentary on the general value of anyone committing to any football program right now.

It’s not a slam on him.
It’s just a reality that commitments mean as much as the IOUs Jim Carey and Jeff Daniels made in Dumb & Dumber.
Maybe he means it. Most don’t.
I have no doubt that most don't intend it as a slam on him. However read the posts with an objective eye and without the history that regular CF posters have and it could very easily be read by the recruit and/or his friends and family as a slam on the recruit.
That is what matters.
That went through my head too, but I'd actually rather have him 100% committed than 1000%. That extra 900% did not give my any reassurance whatsoever with Paris. I knew it was going to be difficult to keep Paris, but recruits saying 1000% make me laugh. So yeah, this guy saying 100% seems more respectable to be fair.
We have blitzed some. But it seems like we rush 3 or bring 6. Would love for the Clones to figure a way to bring 4 and get some rush and also control off-tackle RPO's.
QB rush has to be better because our secondary is beat up at CB and doesn't seem like our safeties are great at coverage. In part because our safeties are relied on so much to stop the run.
Always glad to get DL commit. Great to get a kid from St Louis. Welcome to Cyclone Nation!!!
We rushed 4 most of the first half against Cincinnati. Made us easy to block at the point of attack.
Agree. If there's one spot a team can never have enough quality players is DL. And recruiting is a numbers game (aka gotta bring in 5-6 to get 2 guys who are Big12 level players).
Having a 3 man front is hard to put pressure on the qb like many have said however when we had guys like McDonald and Uzawerike (spelling?) were here we were much better at it. Those guys are playing in the NFL now so I think it shows we just don’t have the talent we need this year. Losing Onyedim and two backups to the portal hurt us significantly. Hopefully this young man will develop into a great player for us.
This. A kid commits to ISU, he or his family Google fur Cyclone sites—and CF would be at the top.
Open the forums, “Hey, that’s my name!”
And when they open the thread, they don’t have the context of people who have been here for months, years, or, well, decades now.
And of course, a couple people didn’t read through the thread to see this post before chipping in. Or piling on, as it might appear.
Well, CF gon’ be CF.
Of course I realize why. But that doesn't excuse being the worst at something. Other teams play our style and get more sacks.
Being in STL and seeing him. He and his program are the truth. Would be dope if we could make a pipeline into CRCP
