***Official portal tracker thread***

If we could somehow get a healthy version of this guy that seems good. Looks like he missed all of this last year?
And that was from just not playing, I think. It looks like his last starts and injury were back in mid-2024 season.

Still hurt? Damaged goods? Future NFL Draftee from Iowa State? Stay tuned to find out!

Or it's not by choice. They had 37 players leave (so far) in the transfer portal and he isn't getting any but ISU players biting. This has the makings of complete failure for him now.
I think it’s becoming clear the NIL funds are for loyalists. Which also explains some of the departures.

This could end up being very bad for pedo and Matt before it’s done. Can’t imagine the ‘stayers’ are excited about these developments.
 
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.
Exactly. It’s not so much a knock on the ISU kids as it is a reflection of where PSU expects to be - beating the Ohio St, Indiana, Georgia’s of the world. Without dissing our transfers, you have to have athleticism and talent at a different level than what MC has picked up in the portal thus far. Gonna be fascinating.
 
Yeah. I've only ever gotten that too, but I've heard of some blood donations making money. Maybe you need a special blood type?

Although you should never count out the drawing power of the right cookies or chips either.
And imagine the marketing opportunities…

It's strange that people think Penn State is only going to get former Iowa State players, despite getting transfers from all over the place while the coaching staff was in Ames. I know we all hate Campbell, but you guys really think they won't get anyone else?
Agreed, evaluate after the portal has closed. Very premature at this point.

Hate to hear it!

They aren't. There was a PSU player that entered the portal yesterday salty about the players that are being brought in and that it's disrespectful (he stated as such on X)
