It’s not really question when it‘s stated premium info, is it?

Lol. Not really. It’s splattered all over the inter webs.

Most of our recruits don't have many p5 offers but maybe we're just getting in early on them?

It's a combo of both. We don't recruit all that well. Our big hope is getting in super early on guys before the bigger schools come calling. Until we start winning, that's how we're going to have to recruit.

I would think NIL has not helped us in recruiting. More P5 offers mean more potential NIL competition.

may be true but we're still ranked 36th currently in the class of 2024 which isn't horrible by any means.

I haven't looked at star composite so maybe were just ahead of the other schools?

Only because of volume of recruits. We're aiming for around the #60 mark again. This class so far has been under our typical average recruit ranking.

To a degree- some have 8,9,10 ahead and behind us.

We stand at 12 recruits.

But looking at averages - we don't look all to good right now. I'll admit that. Haha

I'm telling you guys, and I've been telling ya, I just have a rotten feeling in my gut about the trajectory of the football program. Between NIL and the disaster that last season was, momentum is seriously against us right now. Campbell probably should have got out while the gettin' was good a couple years ago, because I doubt he will ever be as hot a commodity like that again. If they go even 6-6 this year, he should look for a greener pasture. Until Iowa State and our fans get serious about giving to NIL, the expectation for us should be bottom 3rd in the conference. I hate to have such a gloomy outlook, because I love Iowa State and eat, drink, sleep, and breathe Iowa State, but it just seems like there is a glass ceiling in football here. Campbell would have had a legitimate shot to be our version of Kirk Ferentz if not for NIL I truly believe. Spread offense and Air Raid is what did McCarney in, NIL will be MC's demise.
