R Mason Thomas Commits!

[NATEizKING]

We flipped Trevon Howard from Northwestern, Tommy Hamann from SDSU, and Terrell Crosby from Toledo, just in this 2022 class.

Lost Avery Henry to tOSU, Xavier Townsend to UCF, and Noble Thomas Jr. to Oregon St.

The decline has begun. The SEC should be fun for Okey.

Heh! They will just be OK in the SEC. Enjoy the Benjamins OU...they will dull the pain of being an SEC also-ran.

I think we stand in a competitive spot to keep R Mason Thomas and potentially shift Moten to us.

Why? The OU of the next 3 years is not Lincoln Riley's OU, it is a complete question mark in my opinion. Venables was a great coordinator but great coordinators don't always make strong head coaches. Just ask Gene Chizik.

Last the chance to land Moten.... not a huge deal since we already have Dominque Orange in the committed fold who is a 4 star and a hell of a recruit.

Life in recruiting. As annoying as it was to lose Townsend and Henry, its sure nice to flip a guy like Howard.

OU might also get another d end commitment, not sure if that’s appealing to Thomas, but I doubt it.

It would be Thomas’s spot to lose if he lands here. Just watch and learn from a Will McDonald for a year.

In fact, Will recruiting him could be huge.

Has our ship sailed on Thomas and it will be down to OU or Miami?

Has our ship sailed on Thomas and it will be down to OU or Miami?

It is was it is at this point. We will be fine with or without him. Probably better with him, but nobody knows at this point and who knows who else might offer by the time signing day comes around.

He keeps saying he's still a Cyclone. I don't know, but I want to believe him.

Exactly, until he says different he is coming. No reason to wring hands over this. He will be a huge get. Also isn’t his teammate a big time tackle that is considering us? Or did he commit somewhere else?

He’s still uncommitted

ISU will keep battling for Thomas and Moten until they tell us no.

My money would be on Miami.

Miami will have a ton of NIL cash flow. That in part is how they landed Mario Cristobal. Which I still think is wild considering Oregon is a much better program in my opinion. I guess he played there so that helped them too.

What are the NIL opportunities at Iowa State?

How did NIL money get to Cristobal?
Miami is a rich, private school. Cristobal was born, grew up, played, coached in Miami. That probably has a lot more influence over Oregon.

Apparently his mom is in Miami and not doing particularly well, unfortunately.

That is terrible news. Do you know what is wrong with her? Can add her to prayer requests.
