Speaking of Nebraska, SIAP, but they just lost their shiny new QB to Kentucky a day after he committed to them. Wow. Sucks for them because he was pretty talented.

Goddamn stop talking about Penn State. Dudes are committing and you clowns are still arguing over some old coach. LET IT GO. I'm sure there is a more relevant thread somewhere else for this, not a portal tracker thread.
One of their guys tweeted about the blatant disrespect he feels. Pretty clearly was about NIL and guys coming in making more.
Neal is a beast. I’m going to miss him the most. He’s going to be playing Sundays.
Looks like we got Braden Smith, OL from Tarleton State too
I've lived in Pennsylvania and can tell you the fan base appears to be a lot like Nebraska. Much of their pride/ego/expectations is based largely on success that came many years ago (notwithstanding, of course, the recent run to the college football semi finals). But keep in mind they beat SMU and Boise State to get to the semis so a relatively easy path.
The good news for a coach at Penn State is you have 7 other sports teams between Pittsburgh and Philly to keep people busy complaining about other things. The bad news is that the media is insanely critical and so are the fans.
It sounds like Matt is adept at insulating himself from media noise. He couldn't care less (and probably doesn't even see) the vitrol on social media right now. His problem is going to be the donors.
The players, on the other hand, are going to have to deal with social media $hit at a different level. They've surely all seen it before, but probably not with this kind of intensity and frequency.
That was a huge learning experience for the Red Raiders. With Cody Campbell actively involved they will just get better.
They will expects results better than what the coach they fired provided.
Is it time to start a new “Official ISU portal tracker” thread so it doesn’t get confused with this PSU/Nebraska one?

There was a tweet posted a couple days ago in this thread from a Penn St player about "this disrespect won't be tolerated"

Looking at what we have here and coming, I'm no longer worried about the talent level of next year's team. I think immediate success will come down to how well they learn to play together.
Multiple FCS Freshman All American on the OL is awesome. Love that route to add talent.
This staff is on a HEATER. This is fun! Lot of great commitments the past few days.
We should get another Portal tracker thread. The other 5 Portal tracker threads are not enough info.
If Iowa State's team from the 2025 season, could play next season's PSU schedule, AND, big asterisk here, avoid all the injuries we had, they could easily be 10-2,11-1, or, with some luck, even 12-0. Their schedule next season is so favorable, CMC is going to be doing fine, without doing much.
How many more transfers commit today? 3 so far do we have anyone else on visits.
Start: *Hope we can be immediately competitive*
Now: "We could be pretty F good"
Likelihood: somewhere in between?
Coaching & will all gel are the keys, for sure
