Otz went from SDSU to UNLV. That move didn't change anything for him regarding Iowa State. If anything, that example might just show that Chris develops close friendships with people that go beyond his professional life and Cyclone Fanatic. There is nothing wrong with that.
This could be good or bad. Depends on where the crystal ball is inserted.
So now the ASU Athletic Department can start racking up the next $300M in debt.
what did all of those 4 and 5 star players do for Penn State? Got their coach fired, that's what. 5 star culture vs. 5 star players.
And we have absolutely no idea if Penn State is overpaying for the Iowa State transfers. That's just an assumption we're making to make us feel better about everything.
Could be, but also what better way to build that culture than bringing in 15-20 guys who already know that culture and can help the entire team learn it.
I'm sure some schools were, but probably not to the level of the SEC.
Mostly though, I think the SEC is in the best recruiting territory in the country, so they got the most talent, since most kids want to play somewhat close to home. Now that they can be paid, there's increased incentive to play elsewhere if you can make more $$, and I think the Big Ten has more $$ to offer.
Honestly any one year of film will do before 2024, when finally had a good line
We could get the dude that was yelling at Matt about the hot seat to raz Matt as he runs through the entrance onto Jack Trice- from the visitors side this time.

Cody Campbell wants to rub it in their face. He paid for it.
Thinking about it as a running number by position group comparing current retains and additions compared to total departures. My thought was, as we look at roster building, what is that +/- comparatively.
So QB is a super simple example. Retain Moberly, HS class added Kurland, transfer portal added Raynor for a total of 3. Lost HS decommit Kase Evans and lost Becht and Manske in the portal for a total of 3. So it’s a net change of 0 when comparing what the roster numbers were projected to be pre and post Campbell at this time.
Should also shed some light on the pure numbers game for things that Rogers mentioned like being heavy on DBs and light on DLs previously. So we’ll probably see a net negative on DBs but a net positive on DL numbers at the end of the day.
I think it's been a nation/conference-wide thing for about every school for decades, just some weren't able to pay as much as others...so basically like now.
Someone should post a billboard in times square advertising all the money he spends to not win a championship.
Ohio St was, everyone else? I don't think so, at least not even near sec level
Until this year when the wheels came off they were averaging about 9 to 10 wins a year. Franklins problem was not beating the Iowa's and Illinois of the league, he just could not beat Ohio State and Michigan, later Oregon. Ruhl at Nebraska has the same problem, at schools like Penn State they do not measure the coach on how his record as much as who they beat to get to that record, they expect you to beat Rutgers and Purdue. How Campbell does at PSU will be measured by his games at the top of the conference, split have of them, and he will be fine.
I think they both have big money but some of the SEC's top talent teams just don't have great coaches right now. Alabama, LSU and OU took a drop in coaching. Georgia almost doesn't even use the portal. Now that Saban is gone the best coach is probably at Indiana. Crazy to even type that but he was Saban's talent evaluator and in our current situation that might be the most important. Combine that with money and very good coaching and Indiana is going to be up there every year.
The staff has secured several solid OL commits already, but curious if these will have any impact on the Trent Fraley (NDSU center) recruitment? I know they still need bodies, and none of these guys so far have been primarily centers, so that should be a good sign.
I know he is on his MSU visit now, but given his visit list I'm really hoping he makes it to Ames before committing. He would be a huge get, and really solidify this first year oline.
