Jefferson NOT gone.

[deadeyededric]

That wasn’t the question. It was who is more nationally prevalent and right now that is CMC

All I'm going to say is Campbell will leave one day. He's not coaching football in Ames, IA forever. He's just not quite as greedy as some apparently. Hes no more loyal tbh. He's just more particular about his exit strategy. That's not a knock on CMC that's just the truth. Does anyone here live where they grew up? Most likely no. So you're a sellout right? Not even close

Unless there is some personal backstory here it seems like a solid joke?

Maybe? Cymac made a serious post about prioritizing his money for his kids and got a snide remark in response.

If that's your sense of humor, then whatever.

Those $500 bats on the 8 & under baseball circuit are the key to that college scholarship. Keep feeding that machine.

The post you responded to never came close to saying what you’re alleging.

 

[CYEATHAWK]

Any idea what he gets at ISU?

Tree fiddy.

 

[CySmurf]

Can we get back to the damn topic of whether Jefferson is staying or going?

 

[rochclone]

It was my original post that talked about that. The response was then I would choose the $500 bat everytime. I’m fine with that being a priority although I think it just as ridiculous as those that think donating $300 a year to WeWill is. My bigger point today is that you don’t get to complain about the roster situation and what the staff and Blum are doing if you are content to do nothing. If that is your choice then just watch the product and it is what it is.

The other problem now is if we keep Jefferson I assume we just spent that big NIL money on him instead of getting another difference maker. These freshman better be ready to ball

I'm fine with that. Jefferson is a known commodity for us, and really, really important to what we do. Jefferson, Lipsey, Momcilovic and Heise, that's a fantastic core group to make a run with.

Can confirm... Jefferson is either staying or goin>

Ehh, I don’t know the personal dynamics.

I’m 100% onboard with prioritizing your kids and wouldn’t dream of giving money to NIL ahead of even luxury items they’d want.

But…the joke seems more tongue-in-cheek and about sports and parenting culture in general.

You seem to be having a different conversation. I was just responding to who is more nationally prevalent between CMC and Chizik and right now it is CMC. No one is saying they expect CMC to stay at Iowa State until he retires-although that would be great!

That’s how we should operate (Saying that as I have no idea if Jefferson is staying or going).

Thanks. Good money, but if he could get $2M that seems like a no-brainer?

He’s not likely to improve his draft stock by staying at ISU is he? Am I wrong to think he’s likely going undrafted?

This system is such a broken mess in the current state. There is nothing Name, Image and Likeness about this. Jefferson doesn't have an NIL worth millions of dollars in Louisianna. 99% of the population down there has never heard of the guy. This is unrestricted pay for play, and I don't blame anyone for not wanting to pay a dime towards it.

 

[AlaCyclone]

I get that. I just have never faulted even Chiz for leaving so I defended a strawman argument. My bad. For real

No strawman argument intended by me. I was happy when Chiz left. I did not like him while he was @ ISU. I also don't think he was a better coach than MC is, even though he left for a bigger job, more money and won a NC @ Auburn. That was my point.

Dude already has a Parish named after him! / sarcasm

Are we really at a point where the 3rd best player on the 5th best team in the 3rd best conference makes more per game than a first year starting teacher in Iowa?

To be quite transparent, I follow ISU bb fairly diligently and I'm 99.99% sure I could walk by him on the street and not recognize him.

He has to improve his three point shooting if he wants to get drafted. It’s what keeps Georges Niang in the league. Jefferson does everything else an NBA player does, he just needs to be able to shoot the three better

LSU board if interested. As the thread goes on, they have concluded that once they got Sutton, they would not take Jefferson. But they certainly have the money to do it if the numbers in the thread are to be believed.

Did LSU pit Jefferson and Sutton against each other?
