His "Home Alone" shoes...

With a new coaching staff on board in his home town, it only made sense that Lincoln (Neb.) wide receiver Beni Ngoyi would get some late interest from the new leader of the Huskers' program Matt Rhule.

That was indeed the case for the 6-foot-4, 188-pound senior, who reported that Nebraska was in recently and is trying to flip him from his Cyclone commitment.

Did they make any headway, Ngoyi was asked.

"The new Nebraska staff came in last week to check me out and meet with them," said Ngoyi. "They were good people but i feel like Iowa State is home still."

A three-star prospect with a 5.6 Rivals rating, Ngoyi was, surprisingly, lightly-recruited by the former staff in Lincoln led by Scott Frost. The Huskers still offered, but didn't seem to make him a priority. In addition to ISU and Nebraska, he compiled a Power-5 offer list that included the likes of Kansas, Kansas State, Minnesota, Pittsburgh, and Washington.

He is one of three wide receivers in Iowa State's class, along with Florida native Michael Parkes and local product Kai Black.

This game is being live streamed on CISN.tv on YouTube. It’s halftime and NW is leading by 7 which surprises me. Momcilivic looks good.

I doubt for a second I'm more excited to see him play than he is to play. What are your expectations for him against WMU? How soon until he gets into the flow of the game(s)? Might take a few? Thoughts?

SIAP, officially terminated. He can recruit, just sayin'

Wow, watched with my boys. That was one of the most exciting sporting events I've seen. I don't follow soccer much but glad Messi of Argentina finally won a World Cup.

Rookie of the Year?

Bill any idea if this kid was offered a schollie? Login to view embedded media

but it dawned on me how you just don't see players ineligible to play because of grades like you used to. It seemed to be a fairly common occurrence back in the day, but now....nothing. Hopefully I didn't jinx anything with this random observation.

I see a lot of parallels to what the Washington State coach is going through to that of Iowa State. I've heard rumblings of tampering going on with some current ISU players, too. However, the staff seems to be doing a good job of keeping them on board this offseason. So, props to @bcblum & his group for making a positive impact in year one.

Imagine if Breece Hall wasn’t injured who was getting lots of praise for rookie of the year. What if Purdy steals the show and takes that rookie of the year instead?!

Given how dialed in Fran is to Big 12 teams, I have to believe he is including some of our conference mates.

As I had mentioned in another thread yesterday, Centerville (Ohio) senior Joseph Jean-Louis hosted Iowa State LBs coach Tyson Veidt in-school yesterday and in-home last night. I'm hearing JJL was really impressed with the presentation and has canceled his weekend official visit to Western Michigan. The LB has told me he's enrolling mid-year and plans to announce his commitment on signing day. All indications are his choice will be Iowa State.
