I have a friend on the team and supposedly Lampkin is pretty bitter with the FB coaches. He says he felt he shouldn't have redshirted and was upset when he started to figure out where he would be on the depth chart for next year.

Pretty disappointing when kid's can't see the bigger picture and walk away when they don't get what they want right when they want it.

That being said. He is a solid long jumper and after 3 weeks of training, got 2nd at the Bill Bergan invite last weekend leading the team.

This is totally false.....

Do you have specific reasons to say that it is false? What do you know or what have you heard?

He wants to focus 100% on Track and Field in order to try to qualify for the 2016
Olympics. He can’t really do that with a football season, winter conditioning, spring ball, and then track.

Ok, that makes sense I guess. If he really wants to be a world class track athlete I can understand him shifting his focus.

Too bad he couldn't help the team. Honestly, it might have been better for him to have not commited last year and freed up the scholly for someone more dedicated to football. More room for guys next year I guess.

With these subtractions and today's signing class, does anyone know what the total scholarship numbers are for next season?


I think right at about 85. (including losses of Lampkin, Hollis, Caspers, Young, Brooks, etc)

Lampkin sounds like a Danny Harris situation. Now if he can go on and have a track career like Danny, that will be plenty of good pub for ISU.

Well this will finally shut up UNIGUY4Cy (or was it Clones21 they both blend in) regarding the Donnie Jennert love affair.

Sucks about Mattison.

Yeah I was looking forward to seeing Mattison do something. Ever since that recruiting website extolled him as a combine freak- with many capital letters, multicolored fonts and exclamation points.

I think that is all Mattison really was, just a guy who was good at combine test with no football skills whatsoever.
