    Kennard Banks was signed on signing day last year but was withheld from announcing for a little bit, for whatever reason. Burris was announced late last year. I think we knew we were going to get him on Signing day but he didn't send his LOI until a day later!

    Signing Day Surprises?

    I would have felt better if we didn't lose Lang in terms of getting Marry. The thing we do have going is the chance to come right in and play potentially. I am excited for the possibility. I like our chances of landing Mars before our chances to land Marry. Regardless I think Paul Rhoads has...

    Signing Day Surprises?

    I don't expect both. Both would be great, but I would expect to only get one of them. That would leave us with 24. I think the 25th might be used on an Iowa guy, who knows.

    Iowa State's All-Transfer Team

    They did transfer here though. Which at first glance without looking at the thread would make more sense to talk about rather than the guys who have transferred away. They are gone, get over it!

    ISU lands a QB Commitment

    Lebanon is close to Harrisburg. Most of the QB's (Namath, Marino, Montana) are from the Pittsburgh area or the steel towns not too far from Pitt.

    ISU lands a QB Commitment

    I had 2.2 until I got my **** together and upped it to a 2.8 in high school. I went to ISU for four years and finished with above a 3.0, I think I made it just fine without doing outstanding in high school. The thing is some kids don't try in high school. That was my deal, I had no motivation...

    Iowa State's All-Transfer Team

    Shane Power definitely tops the list, as well. With the likes of Taggart. If people didn't know he is a color announcer for Comcast/Charter Sports Southeast.

    Iowa State's All-Transfer Team

    If we are talking about people who transferred away Shawn Taggart Wesley Johnson I honestly think if that is the case it is kind of pointless. Yes we lost players due the system. Johnson sucks to lose, but he is lost. Would we be a better team with him. No doubt. Do we have him, nope we do...

    All Tranfer Team PG Jamaal Tinsley SG Dedric Willoughby 3G Kantrail Horton F Jackson Vroman F/C Kelvin Cato That is definitely my first team Mentions to Jiri Hubalek, Michael Nurse, Kenny Pratt, Tyray Pearson, Mike Taylor's one season. I think that about covers it.

    ISU lands a QB Commitment

    Interestingly enough they ran the Tony Franklin system at the high school in Penn. Obviously Franklin was the OC at Auburn last season. It seems to me Herman and Rhoads went and found a guy who knows the system comparable to the one they will run to get as their QB. He is obviously not a guy...

    Shepperd still with the team???

    The thought is that this might be Curtis Bray. This is one of the reasons a lot of people think he is with the staff. People have seen a Shepherd clone with the team and he fits that mold. Might be someone else, who knows! But he definitely looks an awful lot like Ken Sheppard

    Cameron Lee

    I say we might as well start Buckley, Lee and Boozer, we can't get anything out of the other guys. So it can't hurt!!

    McKnight Named Strength and Conditioning Coach

    Yaaaaanccccy!! Best name of any coach so far.

    The good thing about Scott is his head coach played in the NFL for about 10 years with the Redskins, Browns and one other team (Kenard Lang). I can definitely see this guy becoming a DE ala Maggitt. Obviously we have yet to see how Maggitt can play, but hopefully Scott will work out!! As for...

    Also it is nearly impossible to compare this class via ESPN because they have really upped their recruiting coverage over the last year. They have half the class last year as having no ranking and I am sorry most of those guys should have been ranked in the same area as the guys this year...

    Again, I think it is impossible to compare the two yet, until Rhoads' guys take the field. But I definitely think we got a huge steal in Darks last year and Leonard Johnson might end up being of the better players to put on a Cyclone uniform. Sedrick should have a much better year in 2009 and of...

    List of visitors this weekend

    On paper right now then it is almost exactly the same class with one more three-star. Until we see it wrapped up I would say the classes are about even. If we get Mars or Marry or both it will be a better class. I still think Chizik was a decent recruiter, but a horrible coach and I am happy he...

    Taylor Martin

    As for QB, if we don't get Raulston or Rainieri we might go with Guiton, but I think Tyler Tettleton actually has a better chance to be the replacement player to Raulston and Rainieri. I hope we get one of the first two guys though!!

    Taylor Martin

    Any depth we can get at DE is good. At this point it looks like we will have Martin, Maggitt, Parker, Lyle, McDonough, Laing and that is about it, maybe one more guy and we should be fine for now as long as one or two of the group of Maggitt, McDonough and Laing pan out!!

    Chizik did well with recruits. On paper, this class will be about the same as last year's class with last year's class having a minor advantage in my opinion. It is what they can get out of the players that will matter. I think last year's class might turn out to be one of the best in ISU history.
