There are a surprising number of '22 recruits still being discussed with the name "Iowa State".

I'm sure some of these recent connections are simply smoke and mirrors, but if TJ and staff do like our position with Karaban (or any other forward for that matter), that puts us 3 over the scholarship limit for '22-'23, so one could assume we're gonna see roster turnover of at least 4 or 5 players per year.

There will never again be a boring offseason on the message boards in this new era of "free agency" and NIL.

Karaban and Black seem like the two legit and top targets right now. Maybe followed by Camden Heide (another D1 Minnesota kid).

I think we take at least one more 2022 and wouldn't say no if you could grab both Karaban and Black. It's pretty unlikely Javan and Brockington choose to use their extra years having already redshirted in college. Javan turns 23 mid season. Could definitely see Conditt electing to use his extra year though.

There's always roster attrition via transfer as well. It's probably a make or break year for guys like Tre Jackson and Jaden Walker.

Yeah I get the question about the roster crunch looking at it right now but when we look again in April 2022 there will be spots available. If anything TJ has shown early he has a plan and executing it. That plan is long term and he is looking to add 1/2 high level HS recruits thus knows where the scholarships will come from.

If nothing else he can recruit these top level players to built a relationship in case they decide to transfer from a different school the relationship will be there for that recruitment.
