Will have to watch the film from the first game. Don’t remember him.

If I recall he was out our game?

These numbers are getting really wild. If what has been reported is true, Rocco/Manske/Brahmer/Neal are getting $8M of PSU's supposed $30M. Matt has taken at least another dozen players on top of that from ISU and has mouths to feed in the PSU locker room. He's also going to have to spend on some O-Line and D-Line which is not cheap by all accounts. At some point, this math just doesn't add up.

Do Big Ten and SEC teams really have that many stud players transfer out? Seems like that's pretty rare, other than during a coaching change.

This year? Absolutely.

 

[deadeyededric]

I figured Campbell would take a lot of ISU guys just to add depth, and he clean house in the portal taking guys from other top programs. Guess I was way wrong.

 

[cyclonespiker33]

Because Campbell should be competing for the 4 and 5 star athletes that left SEC/Big10 schools. Not raiding an underperforming 8-5 team from what turned out to be a cupcake Big 12 conference as your only source of being able to get literally ANYONE.

Oh crap, Iowa State played a 13 game and I missed it? Don't add a loss to the record just to try to make your ex-coach look worse.

Maybe he'll do that yet.

Its part of the "process"

You just got to work in the margarine man.

Oklahoma State is on fire along with Tech.

North Texas has officially transferred to Oklahoma State.

 

[deadeyededric]

For his sake I hope so.

Apples to oranges. North Texas was really good too. Its not like this was an 11 win ISU team with a lot of guys returning.

Guess we get to find out how ISU does in the B1G for one whole season

Probably, like I said, there’s so much speculation with this stuff and none of it is public. Bottom line, Matt will have more money to spend. That’s just a fact.

Blum said on the pod yesterday that Sama got 10% of the crazy rumored amount of NIL that he was receiving last year. These public numbers are no good and we have no clue how much anyone gets

I missed that. Blum said wisconsin is giving him 10% of what he was making here?

Literally a typo one character apart. Go be butt hurt and cry over a photo of Matt Campbell somewhere else.

 

[Cymark86]

I think alot of these guys just got caught up in the hype.

And they could be making substantial more money. It is what it is. Never been in that position so don’t know how’d I’d react. Players know what to expect from that staff and if they’re getting paid more, kind of a no brainer.

We'll get to find out how North Texas fares in the Big 12 for a full season, too

 

[Cymark86]

Max Baloun commits to Iowa State. Big DT from South Dakota. 1 year of eligibility.

This is what I’m going to like about this staff. Get guys like this and develop the heck out of them.

"Making it Rayn"

(should that be a thing?)
View attachment 165361

Actually a good NIL venture: 'RaynorShine', a premium Iowa moonshine imported from Arkansas! It'd be a tailgating hit.

 

[Letterkenny]

No, he was rumored to be making a certain amount here this past season. In reality, he only got 10% of that rumored amount. (I'd never heard of any rumored amount, so don't now what either of those numbers were).

No doubt he got a raise to go to Wisconsin.
