I figure it’s best for our narrative if he does 8-4/9-3 every year. If he falls completely flat and does worse the narrative becomes “see? The big 10 is so much harder than the big 12”. If he comes in and wins a title, it becomes “you can’t win at Iowa state and taking the step up is a good decision”.

Yes.
Some things you can see on TV. Most you can’t.
I have seen in person some ultra elite running backs.
Without going over the last 45 years of them all, and I could try to list them all. They are Ultra Elite, college and then Pro.
Probably start with Billy Sims , Thurman Thomas. Then Barry Sanders. That kind of elite opposing RBs. And it just goes from there. Of course Troy Davis.
I’ve been to many Ohio State games and many other non-ISU games. I have Seen a lot of Elite RBs.
I will say, Breece Hall Breece Hall was probably Top 4 of the best College RBs I have ever seen. Just the way he runs and in the passing game was incredible for a college player. without the Blown Knee and the purgatory called The Jets, he would’ve been an all-timer.
I only saw CMC run all over Iowa in the Rose Bowl on TV.
Saw CMC for the first time last night in Indy. Just an incredible runner, with speed , power, elusiveness, and vision.
I think the comparison of Hansen to Christian McCaffrey only comes down to their skin color.
Carson Hansen is as you put it, a damn good college Running back….with upside in the passing game.
I was in Indy last night.
I would say I probably watched (and this is a complete guess) 60% of every snap Brock Purdy took at Iowa State. home and away. Maybe 80-90% including TV.
I wasn’t that close to examine his mechanics compared to his Iowa State days, but his throws were so freaking perfect, with velocity and timing.
A lot of crossing routes 10-15 yards deep and he would “throw them open”.
Not just on the deep ball, but throw them open on the crossers and posts…..and no offense to the WR group, but it was Juaun Jennings, Kendrick Bourne, and Demarcus Robinson.
Think about that!
Yes, Kittle and CMC are a huge part, but he delivered so many dimes and picked apart a struggling Colts defense better than anyone has so far.

He will have better recruiting classes than he ever had at ISU for sure, but from what I’ve seen and heard it won’t be packed with high end guys. He’s going to make his classes out of low 4 stars and high 3 stars. Kids that haven’t been told they are a superstar for the last 4 years of their lives. He’s only going to want kids he can control and who will buy into his “process” crap. Time will tell how that will work out for him. Not having Heacock could be a nail in the coffin no one saw coming and could potentially leave ISU in a better spot long term if he flames out.
If this single post's emoticons doesn't convey the diversity on this board, nothing will.
Hanson was a dog at finding the hole, but IMO had substandard speed and no second level moves. I think he can be replaced.
To think Paul Rhoads and Gene ****ing Chizik left our program in a better place. Good lord.
Who’s excited for next season’s cobbled-together motley crew of mediocre mercenaries? I’m sure they’ll play as hard as they’re paid. Yay.

It would be funny if they end up being more talented and look more organized than we've been accustomed to.
He’s so good, def was underutilized here. Same guy that everyone said his arm was bad, his arm looks pretty damn good now.
First off, if you are going to wade into this arena understand that Yeshua's birthday is not December 25th. His birthday has actually been determined to be September 11th, 3 B.C. That may be more information than you care to know; however, as a Christian, it is my desire to correct this misconception concerning Christ's birthday.
Fake!! Doesn't mention Ames at all. Especially the award winning drinking water!
So Hansen is in the portal. Yes, he is a good running back, but the loss of top offensive linemen is more concerning. After all, it took Coach Matt Campbell 10 years to get a competent offensive line.

If he does 8-4/9-3 every year and no conference titles or national titles in 5 to 6 years, Campbell will be gone,
Mouser is not ready to lead a P4 program. Coach Jimmy Rogers just pulled off a TJ type miracle by taking a complete new roster and led Wazzu to bowl eligible status.
