Does anyone know his status?
says he is still committed to ISU but is still looking. My thoughts? He will stick with ISU. He took an official visit to Ohio. Ohio of all places. So i think we are safe. I think we are the best offer he has minus Nebraska (not sure if they are still pursuing)
I give the kid credit for saying he's still committed, but I won't be surprized if he jets. (i'd still love to have him on our team)
We have Gene Chizik as our Head Coach. Bates will be here next year, Book it!
Why would he want to go to Ohio?? I think that we are ok, the only school i'm worried about it is Oklahoma. He wouldn't fit in well at Nebby and they still want him to play saftey, I still feel confident he will be a Cyclone!
It will be really intereresting to see what transpires with our new CEO at the helm.
If he comes here, he will redshirt and learn from Meyer, then start after his redshirt year. There is no way Arnaud would play over him; he would be foolish not to come.

dont underestimate arnaud
Whats foolish is that claim. Arnaud was a much higher touted QB out of HS than this Bates kid. Do we not remember that Arnaud was rated the 6th best dual threat qb in the country?Quote:

I think we would make him something else other than QB b/c he isn't beating out Arnaud. Arnaud got rave reviews in spring practice and when Bates came to ISU camp he struggled with his passing. Now who knows b/c both of these guys have almost 2 years to practice before the battle for the starting position. There is nothing better than competition. It brings out the best in players, but lets hold off before calling Bates the savior
and i about gurantee that bates doesnt have the heart that arnaud does..
How can you possibly know this? I think Bates will be a great QB and hope like hell he comes to ISU. I can't wait to see the position battle between him and Arnaud after Meyer leaves.Quote:
