Kinda wonder if some of these guys weren’t trying to leverage being one of the last guys into a big payout?

JFFb apparently has a list, he’s checking it twice, gonna find out who’s realistic & nice.

I don’t really know where Sama could go that he would have a better shot to showcase his abilities next year than he would at ISU. But whatever.

I read somewhere that Sama was the highest paid player on the team last year due to the K State snow game. The blue bloods came after him hard. If true or even close to true, no way JFR was going to pay him that level.

If any/all of the kids had an inflated value for whatever reason... agent, prior head coach, pissed off coach that didn't get the job stinking up the process....Jimmy is cleaning house. Good for him as he has no other choice.

If God would just stop advising all our players to transfer for more money, I’m sure that it would be mentioned less here. Take it up with him.

It's just so transparently cheesy to say that God led each of them to do exactly what they always wanted to do anyway.

We need to make sure every one of these Loyal Sons know our appreciation of their loyalty.

Absolutely effing true. They will have my unwavering support

Rogers was announced 20 minutes after Campbell left. Jamie Pollard said he had met him on a retreat an agent put on about developing a group of head coaching candidates.

Do you really think that's all there was to it?

What are the numbers at now, Leaving vs Staying? 47 Leaving, 11 remain?

That's enough for a team!

We’re gonna have 11…playing both ways!

LFG!

Haven’t read all this thread. Just wonder if players have been advised by the new coaching staff to move on. I hope not. There are too many good athletes that are moving on. Does not make sense with one year to go.
The cupboard is bare.
The players we’ve come to see develop-cheered for and enjoyed watching have elected to go somewhere else. Why? What does this say about the character? Is it really the best version of themselves?

Over half ISUs team was good enough to play for a P4 program that won 11 and 8 games the past two seasons, but are not good enough to play for another P4 school?

A team is as good as the sum of its parts…and some of those parts might be average.

Sounds like we should have plenty of budget left for the portal.

Absolutely, it’s hilarious that every time a college athlete prays about what to do, God counsels him to take more NIL money.

Yes, I realize 90% of the players use the same transfer announcement template, most ending with “with that said, I will continue my career at School X.” You just gotta laugh at it.

I would assume Hawthorne ends up at Nebraska. They recruited him pretty hard out of HS.

 

[BCClone]

If Manske does I will be sick to my stomach. Kid is from my home town.

Highly unlikely he will be at Iowas

 

[ClonerJams]

Kakert mentioned on a pod that they are interested in some members of the secondary.

Probably Patton

Over/under on the guys in the portal that end up coming back— I’m at 6.

It's just so transparently cheesy to say that God led each of them to do exactly what they always wanted to do anyway.

Do you remember when we had the LB from Texas decommit at the last minute, and his dad came to this site and lectures everyone that it wasn’t his sons decision, he prayed to god and he told him to play for a different school, so ISU fans can’t blame him for breaking his word? it was God making the choice!

I’ll take the over.

Can you imagine the freak out if Mouser was HC? The good players would have followed Campbell and left. They were not staying for Taylor Mouser. Mouser would have virtually no network to get coaching staff and players. Campbell would have taken the coaches and staff he wanted. Just like now. And we’d be drifting aimlessly with an inexperieced HC with only 2 years OC experience in a job he was given out of loyalty. We’d be screwed.

Were you a bover or a sweeve? (I'm not sure of the spelling of either.)
