    Cyclone Recruiting History 101

    Yep, balancing out what position the recruits play is important too. Having a bunch of awesome WRs is good, but if you whiff on your QB recruits, it doesn't matter nearly as much how good the WRs are. Ideally your team synergizes well and the whole is better than the sum of the parts.

    There's more to recruiting than just just the ratings. Having players that fit your scheme and fit your culture is also very important.

    [Commitment Watch] '22 4 star DE Mario Eugenio

    Best of luck to Mario. If he ends up changing his mind and commits to ISU, I'm sure we will find room, but with the commits we do have (or expect to have) we should be sufficient at EDGE as well

    [Commitment Watch] '22 4 star DE Mario Eugenio

    They commit to both the coach and the school imo. Something like 75% coach, 25% school, but depends on the kid too of course. There's a reason you see a lot of kids transfer when a coach leaves, but there's also a reason they don't all transfer.

    Noble Thomas De-Commits

    https://www.vox.com/2016/2/16/10889440/midwest-analysis According to this very scientific poll, looks like Iowa is the most Midwestern state and Ohio is very borderline Midwestern. Aren't you guys Mideast or mid Atlantic or something like that? ;)

    '22 NFL RB draft rankings

    To be at least slightly fair, he played more games than like 2/3 or 3/4 of the college RBs. However looking at per play or per game stats also has the issue that some of the people leading those stats have small sample sizes. Either way, it's just a preseason "award". It's the postseason ones...

    Season preview from the athletic

    Yeah I agree with others here saying that the Athletic is really worth it if you follow any sorts of sports. If you are only an Iowa State fan and don't care about any other team at all, then it might not be worth it, but they have good coverage of most any sport. They also have deals regularly...

    Season preview from the athletic

    Not sure how many of you are subscribed, but The Athletic has been putting out really in depth previews for every P5 team, and several G5 teams as well. I haven't read through but yet, but the title is quite promising...

    '22 NFL RB draft rankings

    Nah he isn't man, there are reasons to dislike the Hawkeyes, but Kirk being a racist isn't one of them, because he isn't. Now please stop talking about them, thank you.

    '22 NFL RB draft rankings

    Would be great to have another RB drafted this next year, second round would probably be a reasonable spot for him?

    [Commitment Watch] '22 4 star DE Mario Eugenio

    Yeah but Harbaugh is some scrub who can't even make his conference championship game, unlike the total chad Matt Campbell!

    [Commitment Watch] '22 RB Kaleb Johnson

    Yeah I agree. I don't want to sound like "sour grapes", I did really want Kaleb Johnson to commit to Iowa State, but I can't fault him for committing to Cal. Berkeley is a great academic school and if academics is important to him, that would be a great school for him to go to. In my opinion...

    4 star? He was the MVP of a 5 star camp, he should be a 5 star reasonably, right? ;)

    [COMMITMENT WATCH] 2022 OT Deylin Hasert

    Looks like a crystal ball was put in for Minnesota, but that was almost a year ago, lot could have changed since him. Linemen seems to be something we have lacked a bit with this cycle, but I could've wrong. Either way, would be great to get him!

    [COMMITMENT WATCH] 6'5" 360lb. DT Tawfiq Thomas

    It would be nice if some of the potential recruits feel that way and commit to us in the very near future, but if they don't immediately commit to us, it isn't the end of the world. It's okay if they take their time, just so long as they commit to us in the end ;)
