Ok, but it is what was reported. and supported by recruiting pundits at 247People Jones, Collins and then...Oliver Martin as Michigan's starters. Lol yeah I could totally see that being legit. Too funny Bud

So Jestin Jacobs was an elite prospect because OSU offered?
Waggoner was elite too with OSU
hawkeyenation, I do not know to link properly.Link?
That's fair. But it's not as simple as "we didn't offer him because he was too good for us". No, you cast a wide net and see what you can pull in. If Campbell thought he absolutely wanted Oliver Martin he would have offered him. Even if Campbell had no chance with him, if he liked him THAT much, he would've offered him.You're confusing the present state of Campbell's program to the state it was in back in 2017 coming off 2 and 3 win seasons.
You are an interesting man. Does everyone have to have your approval?Nobody wanted him at the end of his recruitment. Iowa almost didn't even take him
Dude, if you're getting offers from blue bloods and they are consistently in the top 10 in the nation, you are a pretty elite prospect coming out of high school. Iowa and Iowa State both have some elite prospects on their roster, but that doesn't always mean they pan out every single time. It's a crapshoot.Padilla with the Georgia offer?

It really is that simple. No player with his offer list and rating would have came to Iowa State in 2017 unless they were a legacy recruit like Lazard. Players being recruited by national championship contenders dont want to play for programs who could barely win 2 games a season.
Things are different now, so if he was a 2019 or 2020 recruit Campbell would have been all over him and Iowa State would definitely be in play for recruits of his caliber. Campbell isnt dumb, he obviously knew he had no chance and didnt want to waste a bunch of time on him when he took over the program.
So you're saying Matt Campbell didn't offer any player that was too good for Iowa State because they would never come here and we should have only recruited the crappy ones and hope and pray they turn out to be diamonds in the rough? That's absolutely not what we did. Matt Campbell was offering kids left and right and tried selling them on his culture and how Iowa State could be a special place if they bought in. He has been able to bring in better players because a couple good ones came here and believed in him.It really is that simple.

Lee with the Michigan Offer?
Maiman with ND and Michigan?

This is a bad hill to die on considering he was offered by Saben @ Bama, Jimbo @ A&M, and Frost @ UCF at the end of his recruiting process. He was also the Gatorade Player of the Year for the state of Arizona..
