Hanika wasn't much of a blocker. He will fit in well there.He better be ready to block!

And maybe have team ready to play before week 5?A big take away from these portal entries are the lack of big names being poached and Iowa State keeping its OL and DL intact. That's huge. With so much youth playing major snaps this past season we are seeing guys leave who know their snaps next year are going to be limited. That's fine, good luck to them and their futures. Campbell has this team set to go on a run! Hopefully he learned from 2021 (which he admitted to making mistakes) and the staff can better handle the expectations coming in 2024&25.
I think it’s moreso he just didn’t want talk about it. At least that’s how I interpreted it. Because the answer itself was pretty vague.I bet he knew about everyone going into the portal, last week. So in a roundabout way, he didn't anticipate anymore surprises, even though they were surprises to us.

What are the two names missing from the OPs post?
Blum was only dealing with guys the staff deemed priorities. Guys that don't see a possibility of playing time leaving in the grand scheme aren't losses.I think it’s moreso he just didn’t want talk about it. At least that’s how I interpreted it. Because the answer itself was pretty vague.
I anticipate there will be more transfers and hopefully none of them are impact starters (or at least in areas where we don’t have a good backup). Blum was optimistic, which made me optimistic.
I wouldn't count Hanika as he has not been on the team since before the season even started.Power 5 outgoing transfers into the portal per 247sports as of 12/5 @1PM with +10 transfers.

POST #5 SAYS ILL LET YOU DOWN!What are the two names missing from the OPs post?
With those receivers maybe it wasn't enough.Ohio State's QB lost 1 game this year and was asked to transfer. His stats from this year 3,200 yards 24 Td's and 6 ints.
What a world....
It wasn't that he lost 1 game, it was that he lost THAT game.Ohio State's QB lost 1 game this year and was asked to transfer. His stats from this year 3,200 yards 24 Td's and 6 ints.

Sure, but Ryan Day has lost it now 3 in a row.It wasn't that he lost 1 game, it was that he lost THAT game.
I think with the Ohio loss and the offensive transition we saw the staff go from playing not to lose to playing to win... hopefully that will make this change seen at the beginning of the season.And maybe have team ready to play before week 5?
And if the kid didn’t make remarkable comeback plays against ND, the MI game wouldn’t have mattered (as much).It wasn't that he lost 1 game, it was that he lost THAT game.
isn't that tampering? can you talk to other programs BEFORE entering the portal?Heard what I thought was a good take this morning on FOX Sports. LaVar Arrington I think played at Penn State and was a 1st round draft pick. He said most players should only go in the portal if they already have a known destination. They are giving up a free education, good relationships, good training, good nutrition, good medical care. And there are a lot of kids that go in the portal and end up sitting on a couch with nothing. Even if you're content with moving downward, at least have a place to land before you jump in.

Hanika was practicing with the team the second half of the season, and was on the sidelines of those games. He likely wants full-time snaps (and some cash doesn't hurt either), and he's not going to get that in Ames with his final year of eligibility.I
I wouldn't count Hanika as he has not been on the team since before the season even started.
