Joe Scates transferring
- Thread starter isufbcurt
- Start date
I feel like the bad takes have increased recently, as has the number of uninformed new users
Noel never seemed scared. If anything, he seemed overconfident.
Sounds like someone is having a sour reaction to the possibliity that Noel's rise may have contributed to Scates decline in playing time and priority.
Back away from the computer Mrs. Scates.
Wow. This year Noel had clearly surpassed Milton and was significantly better. I think injuries have taken their toll on Milton. He just seems to have no burst any more.
Noel is what this offense has been dying for since D. Jones - a guy thatcan get in and out breaks quickly and provide some great options out of the slot.
In a league of 10 teams, where he’d only return it if he had loads of space (regarding punts). The fair catches should factor in as a zero yard return but they don’t
But...some of those fair catches he might have been doing what he told to do...and some were the proper decision. So why penalize him for those?
Good one dude. All I’m saying is that people seem overhyped on Noel because he’s athletic, has gotten a lotta playing time as a freshman, and has potential. But I’m sorry he hasn’t proven to be like an Olave or Wilson from Ohio state and even if he is, he won’t have a qb/line that can showcase that ability
I’m not “penalizing” him lol. I’m just saying some people seem to be drinking a bit too much kool-aid. Like just relax he’s young and has time to develop but People seem to have higher than appropriate hopes for him
Who said Noel played like 2 elite college players who will go day 1 or 2 in this year's draft!!
You seem like someone with an axe to grind, than an observer of Cyclone football.
I am optimistic Noel can be a solid player as CMC tends to bring freshman along slowly. Also, Noel's skill set might be leveraged better by Dekkers than Purdy.
Damn, Noel is the worst wide receiver in ISU history. He came in as a 3 star freshman and was not immediately able to prove himself to the level of the best two receivers in college football. I'm a little disappointed he didn't show any flashes of Tyreek Hills speed or DeAndre Hopkins catching ability this year.
If Noel stays healthy, he will go down as one of ISU’s best WRs ever IMO…. he’s special.
Seems an odd hill for a "new member" to choose to die on...belittling a true freshman, that for anyone that has actually watched ISU football, was true bright spot not just on special teams but as a WR as well.
I think that we have a good change of having a couple true freshman in the rotation at receiver next year. If Daniel Jackson doesn't start to come along I fully expect Gaines and specifically Townsend to get a lot of run in this offense. I would also expect another true freshman. Adams. will pick up the return duties so no one need worry abut Noel back there calling fair catches.
When your punt return team pretty much never sets up a return you are going to have a large number of fair catches. But, yeah, he should have tried to return some where he was one on three or four so he could get blown up after gaining two yards.
Yes, he made the right decision on almost all of those fair catches.
