***CFB Transfer Portal 2022-23 thread***

I think the number you need is how many guys voluntarily enter the portal and how many are forced to. Don’t think we can ever get those numbers and I know this board will just go negative and say that many are forced but that’s the number we need

Don't confuse the handful posters on here that treat this site as a FT job with the vast majority of Cyclones, many of which rarely post but do visit this site. Most of us are much more optimistic! :cool:

Assuming there are, but has anyone heard who some of the other transfer targets are? Sounds like we are still in the running for this Teslaa kid from Hillside, but have not heard any other names lately
 
Becker would be nice and a definite upgrade but I’m a little skeptical that ISU will really be looking to add a kicker from the portal. Isn’t Gilbert on scholarship? I would imagine that the coaches don’t want to use multiple schollies on kicker and would rather just bank on some development from a guy who was just a true freshman

We’d be dumb to pass up a chance with a leg like Becker has, and Campbell has shown he’s going to recruit over you every year. With that being said, I don’t think he’s coming to ISU

Yes, I am saying that. Mainly because they haven't played well. I suppose Greg Gaines or whoever could be this top secret weapon but if so, then why didnt he play last year? Its not like our WR room was loaded with guys making plays.

Which guys do you take issue with me saying are bad? Nobody last year even flashed anything other than Hannicka and Norton. Brock is a fair shout, im just not gonna invest a ton in him right now with all the injuries he had last year and I believe only one more year to play

It doesnt matter how good they are in high school if they dont develop after getting here.

Well our best player, hands down, on our team was X. So it's no surprise that we tried to force feed him the ball 10 plus times a game.

With that said though. Noel increased his receptions by over 60%. And his yards by over 129%. He had some huge drops, but 60+ receptions and 600+ yards is no joke.

Stanley wasn't a statistical monster, but had his most productive season in college. Again when 55% of Dekkers completions are going to 2 guys, and there's 14 (16 players caught a pass this year for us) other guys to feed. It's hard to do put up huge numbers.

I don't think your wrong in thinking that. I just think the opportunity wasn't there for most of these guys to showcase what they can do.

Our biggest thing going into next season is Dekkers needs to go from 14 INTs, down to 7 or less.

Sometimes a guy just needs a change of scenery and sometimes you get one who turns out to be more than fans expected (see MJ Anderson). The second tier of transfers are certainly not always going to be players that see the field, but I would bet that there is a higher probability of success than your average high school recruit (especially late signees).

Don’t you also think that some of these guys get stuck behind a guy who has greatly exceeded expectations?

I mean, none of these guys really saw significant playing time the last two years so it makes sense. I'd be a little alarmed if any of them were starters and dropped down a level.

Tavon Kyle will be interesting.

He at least got some playing time. Not sure if he ever started. Maybe towards the end of the year?

I agree he has to cut down on his mistakes. But equally important he needs to increase his yards per attempt.

Majority of last years guys went to G6 or lower level too.

Tarique Milton played his Senior year at Texas. Had 2 catches for 40 yards.
Isheem Young played his Senior year at Ole Miss. Played in 13 games. 66 tackles (5 per game), 1.5 tfl, 1 interception, 2 pass break ups.

I think those were our two most notable transfers out. Craig MacDonald went to Auburn, this would have been just his sophomore year so he could yet be something. He did nothing in 2022. They went 5-7.
