Looking at our current portal targets, there are a lot of smaller school kids on the list that I imagine we can get for a decent price. Any chance Rogers is trying to save money to offer more to a few Clones that are in the portal? Manske, perhaps?

No. We’re playing moneyball like we should.
I certainly hope Coffey is returning - also Hicks, Jr.This SI article says that David Coffey is returning. Did he announce that? Also, I really hope we can get this Toledo safety.

Iowa State Cyclones Set Up Visit With Toledo Rockets Defender in Transfer Portal
The Iowa State Cyclones have a lot of work to do rebuilding the roster under new head coach Jimmy Rogers. There are 50 Cyclones players who are in the transferwww.si.com

Find a quarterback that throws the ball underhand but is also like the best in the world at drawing defenses offside.What non-traditional statistics are we using to evaluate the players we are adding to the team?
I might be and I hope you are right that we can get him for lower. I based paying Raynor similar to what Rocco was making in 2025.#69 QB is worth $1-1.5 million? You’re crazy.
If that's come to fruition, would be the biggest keeper so far. Right there with Zaimir Hawk.This SI article says that David Coffey is returning. Did he announce that? Also, I really hope we can get this Toledo safety.

Obviously these attributes are not reflected in the QB ratings; thus, Rogers is playing "Moneyball"Find a quarterback that throws the ball underhand but is also like the best in the world at drawing defenses offside.

Seems like the market has gone up, if Rocco can make $3M+ this year and top guys are making $5M.
Is that true?Exactly. It's a waste of our resources to pay any one player $1M or more.
We’re finding guys from lower level schools who won’t command big money individually.What non-traditional statistics are we using to evaluate the players we are adding to the team?
I think this thread should be renamed to *Official Bitchin about the Portal/NIL Thread* and someone should start an actual PORTAL TRACKER thread dedicated to, you know, portal entries tied to ISU (and those who commit to the good guys).

Is that true?
For example, are there going to be P4 starting caliber QBs that don’t command $1M+?
That is an earnest question.
If that’s the case, then just shut down the clearinghouse. No reason to spend the money running that when we all can see it isn’t doing anything.
That the only two commits from the portal are D-II kids doesn’t give me a warm fuzzy feeling.
Is the long snapper on scholarship?
Obviously this is too early to know anything, but I hope Rogers doesn’t turn out to have a chip on his shoulder about small schools having kids talented enough to play P4.
