Iowa Football Recruiting

We'll see how the pro style lasts though. A lot of teams are looking at the Chiefs and Ravens with mobile QBs, and I'll admit when I'm wrong-I didn't think Murray/Kliff would make it, but they've had a solid off season with what I thought was a decent first year.

Most of those types will have much shorter careers. NFL LBS and Linemen are big and fast and bring the pain.
 
Nobody from ISU ever contacted him to tell him he didn’t have an offer. I know for a fact they would have reluctantly accepted his commitment.

So CMC doesn't tell kids the truth or did they just treat him like an unwanted step child?

They explained to him the situation exactly as I described it. They wouldn’t actively recruit him but would accept his commitment.
 
I know MC absolutely hates putting out a commitment to ISU for the long-term and resorts to saying stuff like "my actions speak louder than words", but the interest from other schools/NFL on an annual basis is absolutely killing the guy on the recruiting trail. I know its being used against him. I was also reading when FSU had interest in him that they worried that he himself is not the salesman you need at the top for a recruiter and he relies on his staff too much versus him being on the trail and being that closer. This was all twitter/message board chatter, but it was something FSU fans worried about.

Honestly I wonder if this recruiting cycle will make him look a little harder the next time a bigger program comes calling. It has to be pretty demoralizing getting kicked around like this by your in-state rival and might make him question whether he can really accomplish what he wants to accomplish at Iowa State.
