This would be a HUGE loss.. IMO, having R Mason be a stand-up rush end on third down could be critical for the 2022 defense
R Mason is a super exciting prospect and I get the sentiment, but undersized true freshman edge is NOT going to be "critical" to the 2022 defense. Now I definitely hope we can get him to stick with ISU because I could see McDonald-esqe trajectory for him.

247 has Thomas back on the "Commits" list and Swain included him in the "Friday Night Lights" article. Seems positive, but who knows for sure until signing day.
After USC yesterday afternoon I hope our entire staff was on the phone with recruits.

If they weren't shame on them, b/c staffs from other schools give zero F's about that.

I feel like I want this guy but I also feel like if he don't play the first year he transfers type of a guy. Lots of wishy washy committing and decommitting and all of that.

We’ll see if we can keep him but we can drag hand and feet for the guy. I’m confident MC has made a great pitch to come here. If he leaves, it is what it is.

I’ve followed recruiting for a lot of years. I don’t think there is any correlation between that and transferring. We have also had a lot of good cyclones who decommitted from others and chose us. None of that matters once they get to campus.

Yes, it should be obvious though if schools are coming to you mid December, they are indirectly telling you they fanned on several other guys before getting to you in the 9th inning.

Didn't work on some of our other guys like Lazard and Brock Purdy. We'll see.
