If that's the best that Oregon can do, yikes.

Gotta figure they struck out on some other targets, right? Raiola sucks.

 

[ISpyCy]

I mean, he was ONLY getting $3.5 Million NIL at lowly Nebraska. That's some serious chump change for a player of this man's caliber.

Who were the main competitors for landing Pettaway in the portal?

Slightly off topic, what game/week did Ryver Peppers get injured? Prevailing wisdom says it takes 10 to 16 months to come back from an Achilles injury.

It was his first and only touch of the season, against Colorado

The 'leak' consists of a pdf screenshot anyone can create out of thin air? Surely totally legit, then, I'm sure.

Next, you are going to tell me that this isn't legit.

On3 says KState offered

I remembered it was his first touch, but later in the season than I hoped.

With Oregon taking Riola and LSU Levitt, Miami is probably SOL on a QB right? They've been a big spender at that spot the last two years but won't be a factor this year.

While any position is a "key" position, it seems he's back filling critical foundation spots with larger school athletes. Then, building a larger base with smaller school quality athletes who are GD hungry to prove themselves at a higher level. Full of piss and vinegar and ready to go. My 2 cents.

This seems to describe Jimmy also

It was 10/11 at Colorado (stupid ******* game)

This might be the saddest season game log ever in football-reference

Does anyone have an updated version of that depth by position spreadsheet that someone was keeping? Thanks

 

[Marcelason78]

Assembling an entire college football roster on the fly is really something.

Yup. JP knew he was hiring a guy who knew how to build a portal team. It’s the new normal, and we now have a coach who knows how, and wants, to work it.

W

7 receptions for 36 yards this year! Maybe he was hurt during the 2025 season and maybe the coaching staff have prior knowledge of his capabilities? Let's hope so.

we also need non starters to practice with

They'll pull a QB off an NFL practice squad. You can do that now in the NCAA.

This one here from cycloneman003? Two tabs on this spreadsheet, one for overall roster movement, one for scholarship/grade breakdown by position: Iowa State Football Roster Tracker

Recommended to all: bookmark this bish of a link, and all of your wildest portal dreams will come true.

TBD at RB, but him and Flora will be in a fun battle for the starting kickoff return role.

I doubt we see a lead back.. Likely by committee in the Roehl system (See 2023 NDSU):

Notice a trend here??

HUGE grain of salt looking at NDSU distribution there.

They simply didn't play many competitive games in that window so they were pulling starters early and giving carries to young guys.

Wouldn't read anything into it at all.

One of the bowl games I was watching they were speculating that a pretty good QB would probably transfer there because he had a relationship with the coaching staff but I can't remember who the heck it was.

Although I just saw a rumor that they offered Ty Simpson $6.5M to come there if he doesn't go pro.

I am a 49er and Cyclone fan. Both teams have been decimated the last 2 years by injuries. The 49ers have 4 superstars out with injuries: Bosa, Ayuk, Kittle, Warner. Is it smart to pay high dollars for a few players who might get hurt or might not fit the system? Or is it better to spread the wealth and have a balanced talent level? So far, I am very impressed with the coaching staff at ISU and their ability to restock the roster.

KSU

On his visit to K State, they tried to do the PJ Fleck tactic of "commit now or your offer is pulled." He gave Klien the bird and said I'd rather be in Ames
