Once again, I'm not bashing on the Clones, but
ISU doesn't get walk-ons who turn down scholarship offers from other D-I programs like Iowa does. Hell, we can't even get guys like Alex Thompson out of high school or keep guys like Haluska in Ames. What about guys like Champ Davis? He went to high school 30 miles away from Ames AND moved to Texas before his senior year of high school and Iowa still got him. It will be a difficult task, but I believe Coach Chizik has what it takes to get some of these guys to come to Ames and hopefully Coach Mac because of his E. Iowa connections.
