[COMMITMENT WATCH] 6'5" 360lb. DT Tawfiq Thomas
Yeah I agree. The vast majority have their five visits all within June. Why commit now instead of waiting a few more weeks just to be sure? Even if they are sure they want to go to Iowa State, they can get some free stuff if they go to the rest of their OVs -

[Commitment Watch] '22 4 star DE Mario Eugenio
I looked through his Twitter, it's really cute. About half of it is speed drills or things like that featuring this little guy, the other half is him hyping up his older brother. So wholesome! -

[Added Jason Essex] 2022 Class Breakdown
I haven't, but I was hired in this market after my company interviewed only me, and they got stuck with me. I personally know the quality of people you can get stuck with if you don't explore your options haha! -

[Added Jason Essex] 2022 Class Breakdown
Most recruits will probably go on all their visits before committing. Committing after your first visit is like offering a job after only interviewing one person. Patience :) -

2023 Football Targets (Offer List in OP +3)
With QB being such an important position, it is a good idea to get a few each year. Recruits can either not turn out very good, transfer out, or go pro, so it is something that is good to have a lot of. -

PFF Goes Stupid…Again
Yeah I agree. Would have been better to have had those during the WVU or KSU games. Might have only won by like four scores then though haha -

PFF Goes Stupid…Again
Oh right, that makes sense. I knew what ELO stood for in this context, but I'll admit I didn't really think too much about it. I think ELO works a lot better for the NFL than it does for college football. Your somewhat recent past affects your ELO score quite a bit, which makes sense when the... -

PFF Goes Stupid…Again
I'm happy that other people think of Electric Light Orchestra when they see "ELO" and it isn't just me hahaha! PFF must be low on our players or something, which seems odd since they were quite good last year for the most part and the vast majority of them are returning. I don't expect us to be... -

Athlon Article on “Challengers to OU”
Yeah that's because of the very high inertia. FPI saw that Penn State had good returning players, history of success, etc etc and those things didn't change even after Penn St lost a bunch of games. However, FPI also didn't penalize Oklahoma too much even after losing to ksu and us, so that is... -

Athlon Article on “Challengers to OU”
Iirc the main issue with FPI was that it doesn't react much to the results that happen in the season, the rankings have a lot of "inertia" you could say. The reason we didn't like FPI in the past is that it would rank ISU low initially and wouldn't raise their rankings very quickly, even after... -

Athlon’s All Big XII—Lotsa Cyclones!
That's why I don't believe people who say that our current team isn't talented. They may not have been 5 stars, but we have some great players! (Having said that, recruiting better players would make things even better. A well developed 4 star tends to be better than a well developed three... -

Campbell turned down $68.5m NFL contract this off season
I think it is pretty obvious that Matt Campbell is not particularly motivated by money. You can see that in how he had his raises go towards his assistants instead of himself, how he doesn't have an agent, etc etc. If he was eager to accept a job that paid more, he would have left ages ago... -

Paddles in the water
As others have said, there is no denying that Minnesota has a lower acceptance rate than Iowa State. But as others have also said, there isn't necessarily that strong of a correlation between acceptance rate and how hard it is to get a 3.0 at a school. Some profs make it so you have to put in 0... -

Big 12 football defenses on the rise, and OU's Alex Grinch credits Iowa State

Kene signs rookie contract
What you actually have to pay in taxes at the end of the year is of course most important, but withholdings does determine whether you get the money now or when you file your taxes the next year -

Kene signs rookie contract
Campbell knows he doesn't need an agent to say "give my assistant coaches more money" to Pollard and to say "no" to anyone else who offers him a job, he can do that himself easily -
