Strength not an issue I can calm those fears right now.
RECRUITING: Zachary Ross has committed
- Thread starter Knownothing
- Start date
Tired of this BIG has defenses crap..its a little of both..defenses are decent but offense are sooooo bad it inflates defenses.
How were those mighty BIG defenses in bowl games last year when they played teams not in the BIG?
Clemson- 31
OSU- 0
USC scored 52 on penn state
FSU scored 33 on Michigan
Florida scored 30 on Iowa...and Florida offense was horrid all year.
TEnnessee scored 38 on Nebraska
ETC..ETC..ETC...
Yeah. Are people assuming that I don't think a junior in high school will develop and become stronger, better athletes?
It's not like Iowa State has never gotten in-state linemen before Campbell. In the 8 years prior to Campbell's arrival, so approximately the Rhodes era, we had at least 1 OL from Iowa every year except 2014. 2011, 2013 and 2015 all had two. I doubt Iowa's staff is losing a lot of sleep over us taking all of the good OL.
First, I am really, really excited about this commit. Ross is a stud. I think he is underrated and will get better and better in college.
Secondly, I think if he does get an Iowa offer, he is gone. Not trying to piss people off, just my opinion.

Iowa's defense gave up only 16 of those 30 points vs. Florida.
Clemson put up more points against Alabama than they did against OSU.
I'll give you Nebby for sure though, their D is rubbish. Iowa hung more points on them than the Vols did.
I congratulated ISU on the commit and then took a jab about Iowa's offense, was just responding to that.
Stop trying to use your facts and sound reasoning in what is the forum equivalent of /r/The_Donald for Cyclone athletics, particularly recruiting stories.
I thought he was for sure going to Iowa. However, they rubbed him wrong with not offering. They have been really impressed with Matt Campbell and staff and he knows he was a priority. I don't think he jumps on an Iowa offer. Sure there is always that possibility. However, I think he is pretty solid with Iowa State.
Even if we beat them on the field this fall? Best recruiting tactic I can think of. Remember who believed in you first; remember who won the game.
I agree. I think he is gone if Iowa offers. He is obviously an Iowa fan.
He's a strong, independent man who don't need no offer.
If he was a sure thing to Iowa if they offered why would he commit to the good guys now? If he really wanted to be a Hawkeye and Iowa State was nothing but plan B I would think that he would have let the process play out. Maybe he likes what he is seeing/hearing up in Ames and wants to be part of it.
I don't think that is the case. ISU has limited spots. If he waits, he might lose it to someone else. Now, I don't think Iowa offers anyway but I also don't think that committing now is some sign that he wouldn't go to Iowa if they offered.
They rubbed him wrong by not offering so he accepted our offer over theirs which he didn't have? I guess he showed them.
Of course Iowa is not going to offer. KF respects commitments and would not take a visit or extend an offer to a kid that is committed elsewhere, right?
