We love our guys, but we’re going to lose some sometimes. I think a lot of programs will. We’re also not the only one:
1)Jayden James from VTech to PSU
2)Sergio Vega from Cornell to Okie State
3)Harvey Ludington from ASU to IOWA
But it will happen to Iowa sometimes i.e. Bassett and now Amato. However, it doesn’t mean the end is near. Here is our projected lineups for the next 6 seasons through 2032 to show that losing Amato doesn’t hurt us at all. This is only with current starters and 2026/2027/2028 recruits. Not including any transfers or current backups who might breakout. It wasn’t long ago when Block was Parco’s backup and then came out and AA’ed his first full season.
I put year of eligibility they’re using in place of Fr, So, Jr, and Sr because new 5/5 rules.

Depending on how the recruits put on weights, our first “hole” might not be until the 2029-2030 season when we need to replace Angelo Ferrari… 4 season from now. We’re at least full for 2 seasons.
Again, not saying we shouldn’t recruit over some guys at certain weight either with incoming freshman or with transfer portal if we can. Just saying if we got a decommit once in a while, we shouldn’t freak out…
