......... according to Joe (looney) Lunardi's projections. I'm aware there are still many games to be played but is nice to see us as a #2 seed. Strangely, KSU is still a #4 seed, although they just beat Kansas.

Here's an in-depth look at the 2024 prospect booked for Cyclone junior day visits on Saturday.

Also, of note, 2023 JUCO DE Jefferson Adam will be on his official visit this weekend.
Cyclones, evaluating Michigan JUCO, schedule DE for visit

Fordham grad transfer long snapper Tom Callahan is also expected on campus for an unofficial visit. He could potentially be a June addition to the program.

In-state TE talks first scholarship offer

'We're Texas. We get everybody's big game,'' Terry said. ''We looked at it like 'you know what, it's another opportunity to compete at the highest level.' (Hunter) attacked it the same way.''

Nice excuse 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😅

Convince me differently? We are way better off IMO.

Any visitors coming in? Specifically transfer targets or 2024 targets? QB coach rumors or news?

It’s nice to have players who played football in HS and weren’t bball only with Lipsey, Grill and in the future with Eli King. Adds a different attitude.

Fast-rising HS OL talks recent Iowa State offer

Bill - any feedback from Dwayne Pierce re: his visit? I saw he had a crystal ball to Iowa State from some Iowa State writer.

I wonder why? Alito.... Hilarious

No words right now. I'll just say I will never understand such a thing.

First off, thoughts and positives vibes to Fennelly and family on the passing of his mother. Win one for coach ladies!


Secondly, holy smokes on OSU’s head coach!!!!

In the updated Bracket Matrix, after ISU's win versus Tejas, almost half of the Brackets now have ISU on the #2 line.

You can click on the top of the column to see them, but quite a few have us in Des Moines.

Apparently the Angry 8 gave up some of their revenue to entice the four new members. And the hope is that they’ll get that money back with a negotiated early exit by OUT. The article doesn’t say anything about the exit fee, as opposed to the penalty for leaving the grant of rights early.

Remember when Bowlsby made threats against ESPN that he had evidence of their interference and conspiracy to push the remaining members to the American? The following statement leads me to believe that whatever evidence he had was weak. Otherwise, seems like the conference would have used it as leverage.

“League sources said the conference did not ask its partners [ESPN and Fox] for increased rights fees.”

Every now and then my Southeast Polk HS sophomore son feeds me some good recruiting information. This morning, it was that an Iowa assistant coach showed up to visit with head coach Brad Zelenovich and see 2024 QB Connor Moberly. Here's where it took a twist: Moberly happened to come to school today decked out in all Iowa State gear. ?

Linking this below. Obviously not a whole lot on Iowa State's end, as it only added three and didn't really lose anyone of consequence. But I thought it might be interesting to see how the other Big 12 teams fared.

of the 56 conference games played so far among Big 12 foes, there have been only 7 double digit losses. Iowa State is responsible for three of them, including last night against Texas. The other two are the first vs. Baylor, and the Texas Tech drubbing. Oklahoma State, our next opponent, has been the victim twice, once to Texas by 10 and once to Baylor by 16. the other two double digit losses were Kansas State by 14 to TCU and West Virginia by 14 to Kansas.

W. Va., winless so far in conference, is leading 14th ranked TCU by 10 with a minute to play.

Remember when we had to hold our breath at the semester break to see who wasn’t academically eligible for spring semester? Maybe it wasn’t as bad as I remember. Nowadays with early college credits in HS, early graduations, a slew of academic advisors helping and making certain you’re going to class, it doesn’t seem to be a thing anymore.

This will become a running feature on the front page, where I update with the comings and goings within the football program. I've already inputted the four confirmed transfer portal additions, and that will be updated as more are confirmed. Below that is a list of transfers from across the country who may become serious candidates for the Iowa State coaching staff.

Enjoy!!!
