Wonder how many exiting STATE players might wander up to Wartburg?
I wonder where they think they are going.

maybe some return. Only so many big money teams around and how many of them want Iowa State level talent that underachieved this season?

Think with sama makes it so there is now zero players returning on offense.

1-TE, 1-OL, and 1-WR staying from 2 deeps...confirmed staying.
A grand total of 87 yards of offense from the TE/WR last season.

Gonna take a lot of production from any WSU players that come with the HC and any portal guys.
Not to worry, per Cyclone fans, all the players leaving were actually terrible and all the WAZZU players are much better prospects. Securing the long snapper was priority #1 for Coach Jimmy.

What’s happening at Iowa State just goes to show you how bad their brand actually is. No one was there for the school, history, tradition or fans. It was ALL for Matt Campbell.
The portal opens tomorrow and at least half of their roster will be jumping in. There was an old disaster movie back in the 70s, The Towering Inferno or The Towering Silo. Something like that.

What will be the response if Iowa State wins in Iowa City again next season and has the same or better record like this past season?
Then you can run your mouth and I will agree with you. Thing is Iowa had a better season this year despite losing to the clowns. We know this because the clowns won’t be ranked in the final polls and Iowa will be. Must ignore?
Now on the flip side if the Hawks run the clowns into the ground in September will you return to admit the clowns are back to being the clowns of college football once again?

Let’s see how confident clown fan really is in Jimmy boy, the leader for the most departures in college football entering the portal.

Rogers must really be a polarizing HC.

A good share of his WSU guys declaring for the portal and his new high school recruits don't have many P4 offers.
He might bring 15-20 guys with him, but they don't appear to be even Big12 level talent.

Shhh. We know that. They know that. The world knows that. But just watch. Iowa State fans will treat the news of ANY player coming to Ames like they just signed Patrick MaHomes, Walter Payton, Lawrence Taylor, and Justin Jefferson. The local media will eat it up, too.

The narrative will be [insert name of any player who left Iowa State] followed by a snarky “who?” After which they’ll tell us how great the “new guys” are and how much better they are than the former players who left.

There must have been so many offensive players uninspired about meeting Jimmy Rogers once he addressed the team.

What is there...maybe 3 players from the two deeps on offense sticking around?
That's incredible.
maybe Mr Rogers prefers little boys over grown young men?

Any guesses on what percentage of the 3k+ in the portal won't find a roster spot at all next season? I assume your current team can immediately revoke your scholly & remove you from their roster as soon as you enter the portal, correct?
Good thing for a team like UNI to look at players in it also.

Well, they're a program with zero legitimate conference championships. A .455 all-time winning percentage. Only six bowl wins and only six Consensus All-Americans. They're one of the very least accomplished programs in all of the power five conferences. Essentially, they're pathetic all-time. And now they're going back to where they belong. At the bottom of the pile.

Right? These guys are probably only like James Madison level talent...

Oh, wait..

Their new coach won 2 FCS National Championships, correct? I thought that might give him some credibility, where players might take their time & not jump ship....

So much for that thought!
He inherited a national champion team. Won one more. Lost in the semis the next year and had a cup of coffee at WSU this year after preaching loyalty. He didn’t build anything, that’s for sure.
