I'll believe the other offers when he shows the letters. I'll take any kid that this staff offers until proven otherwise, but I'm calling BS on the offer sheet.

The kid has been committed for less than an hour and you are demanding documentation? You and the governor of Arizona should hang out sometime...

You are close to the really exciting thing about CPR and his staff, especially Wally. The level of play of those two, and their individual talent, is how a CPR team is supposed to play football. Given time, that is how CPR's players are supposed to perform. That is what is going to be so cool in the future. I think this staff will bring a higher level of talent to ISU, and we can expect to see playmakers like that all over the field for the Cyclones.

That being said, welcome to ISU Donald! You are in for an exciting ride, and ISU is such a great place to attend college and participate in athletics.

You should be banned from the internet forever. Not cyclonefanatic, the entire internet.

Now you may be saying how stupid my post sounds in your head, keep in mind that yours was worse.

Great get! Welcome aboard Donald!

Now we need to land a couple of those JUCO defensive linemen and I'll be real happy.

We went from our LB corps being very shaky going into this year to now having a real solid group for a while. Especially if we land Princeton Jackson... that would just be icing on the cake.

If I had to make a guess, being the #2 overall tackler in all divisions of Florida HS football with 133 this season was what got him the offers.

Don't bring logic into this thread!

**Rhoadhoused** · 12-05-2010, 07:35 PM

BCS Offers?

Yah, got him OUR offer. But what about the other offers-- get the man some documentation! Quick Chris, get Coach Ferentz on the phone to find out if they did, in fact, offer this kid. Until someone gets concrete evidence of whether or not he holds an offer from Iowa, this kid will be considered a questionable get, and an inevitable bust.
