Former Cyclone CB Myles Norwood is in the portal... again. Started at Iowa Western, then ISU for a year, then Ball State for a year, then South Carolina this year, who knows where next year. It's ridiculous, this kid shouldn't have any eligibility left.
I don’t understand what his thinking could be. With so little continuity how can someone like him build any skills? Without strong skills how can he be out demanding more money? I can see a three year starter at ISU chasing a bag for a final year after having established himself this kid has never established himself so what the hell is this kid doing?
Better situation for us to get wsu commits vs penn st getting isu commits. That is not good for Campbell
Personally I think for a lot of these guys the portal means they get to be recruited and fawned over and sought out again and again and again. Coming out of HS and being recruited was probably the highlight of their lives with all these schools telling them how amazing they are. With the portal they get to relive that, in this guy's case every year.
A buddy sent me this gem after ASU loss…
Campbell: "Other than (the interception immediately after Brahmer's injury), I thought (Rocco Becht) was spectacular today."
I told him only two things can explain that comment.
A. Matt isn’t watching the games
B. He’s sleeping with Rocco
If it’s B, that would explain some things as such behavior wouldn’t be frowned upon in happy valley.
Plus, each has an agent in their ear. Some are legit. A lot are sleazy. If agent gets a kid 50k, it’s an easy 10% for the agent.
I agree with the premise, but I think we first need a professional, efficiently run concession operation, which we do not have IMHO
I will swear I saw a second coach on the grassy knoll . . . . talking to recruits as the motorcade left town.
The half that you are not joking about could be the product of some of these players have not been on campus yet. I noticed most of them have Wazzu or high school jerseys on. I could be wrong.
Come on now, you know Matt Campbell's 3* players are the best 3* players in the country. We are never going to compete with Coach Jimmy Rogers 3* players. Matt Campbell's 3* players are more nuanced than the current crop of unnuanced player Coach Jimmy Rogers is bringing on board. Please do not take my sarcasm as being directed at you @harimad.
Raynor led his team in rush attempts and had 150 more pass attempts than Rocco.
11 INTs are bad, but in my mini film session, the dude loves to chuck and pray. I would guess this would be reigned in a bit in a Roehl-led run first offense.
His biggest issue seems to be he plays like he has the pressure that he has to do it all. Hopefully it wouldn’t the the case here.

I'm not saying Raynor is a can't miss prospect but we could do a lot worse. 3700/26 total yards/touchdowns is nothing to scoff at. Like you said he will need to clean up the INTs but any transfer we will go after will need some refinement. A senior with something to prove, I like this guy enough to come in a compete.
Just my opinion here. If Raynor comes here for cheap thats great. However, there are too many holes to fill at this point and if he's asking for 1+ mil, that money can be best spent adding depth to the team.
