If it wasn't for Mr. Huge Clackers saving so many games ... 2025 would have been a disaster, and we'd still be stuck with Mr. Motivational Speaker. And I agree, I think 26 is going to shock people ... in a good way!

Our OL might be just as good or better. That does a lot if we aren’t able to get the most talented skill positions.
ISU should be able to pay more than MAC schools if they want him.

Went from 86 to 87 on On3. An 86 with offers from basically the entire SEC is bizarre.
You’re welcome people. He must have liked my ISU gear on our same flight from Denver to Des Moines last week.
I’ll take all the credit…. Kidding
Yup. University is just going to eat it. This is the kind of thing that leaning into having a gigantic on line university catalog that prints money can make possible. Maybe they just fund it by raising fees for students who never step on the campus by $20 a credit hour. As a public university it should be something there's an answer to, if people are willing to dig.ASU has rolled over for the athletic department.

Still takes lines time to gel.
If you look at WSU this year, they were rough to start, but 2nd half gave 2 playoff teams and a ACC championship participant really tough games.
Maybe it will be different, hope they start out strong.
Don't play Tech in Big 12 next year so that is nice
I hate to bring this up, but when was the last time Iowa had a big time NFL running back. We’ve had 2 recently. We can make a decent running back (who costs less) look good with good oline play.
I don’t have many expectations record-wise with a new coaching staff, but I’ll be looking for any changes and improvements in the way we play and the intangibles (dare I say, the margins?)
How do our lines play? Do we turn the ball over? Force turnovers? Special teams? Do we see visible improvement as the season progresses?

He was saving the redshirt for the upcoming years at pedo st
I mean us as ISU fans can think that way to make ourselves feel better, but he looked great in that bowl game, and had solid numbers as a young player. Gotta image the staff would’ve loved to have someone like that familiar with their scheme to help usher in the new era. You might be right though, or in the end he may have just wanted a fresh start - we’ll likely never know.
That being said, I like the transfers at LB he’s been able to bring in so far.
We had been in on JC French from Georgia Southern. It sounds like we backed off when Raynor locked in his commitment.
Raynor + Moberly + incoming freshman makes it hard to be attractive to the kind of portal QBs that we would care about who are good enough to start. The room is in decent shape. Still need to add at least one more QB who isn't a true freshman or walk-on though.
Palano was good in the bowl game but if he committed to Boston College then we probably didn’t have anything for him.
I think most guys with high HS stars that don't start at their position Freshmen year drop if they transfer.
Alex Payne was one of the top linemen in the country when he committed to USC and he is in portal.
Still no ranking yet. But he will not approach his high school ranking, unless he commits to an SEC school, then it will exceed high school rankings
If we get Schlimgen to go along with the DII kid, Exline and the Gardner Webb kid and with what we have coming back in Willich, Goodwin, Barnes.. I think we've got some pieces.
Any word on Major Cantrell? He showed some promise the few snaps he took last year.
Super exciting...sorry to be a Debbie Downer, but that twitter handled looks sus, is the signing corroborated by anyone else.
