Nothing new. Happens 4-5 times a year.

Well at least if Connor is reading this, he's gotten a taste of the good ole ISU sour outlook on things. Man, can't the kid just take his visits and let the chips fall where they may? Glad everyone warmed up to him so much just to cast him aside like he wasn't worthy to wear an ISU jersey. Kinda sad don't you think??

I hope he commits to ISU for sure, but if he doesn't im not going rag on the kid for it. Like its been said on here, ya win some, ya lose some. Just leave it at that.

I hope he commits to Iowa State and won't rag on him if he doesn't.

I do get why some ISU fans have a sour taste in their mouth with this kid. Even after he committed to ISU he still wouldn't say that he would cheer for Iowa State when they played Iowa.

You've got to feel for the kid, he's got a rather difficult decision to make...

Play for the team you love or...

Play the position you love for their arch-rival.

As I understand it one of the big reasons Boffeli committed to ISU was because Chizik promised him he could play tight end and most other schools were recruiting him as a tackle. Do we really want someone whose judgement was to trust a promise made by Gene Chizik?

You do realize you just insulted every single member of the last two years of recruiting classes right?

Including a number of true freshman from this last season that made a huge impact and we would be devastated if they left.

I've come to expect asinine comments from you, but wow this one takes the cake

Gene Chizik's promises should always be carved in stone. The man's word is gold.

"Anybody who knows myself, my wife, my family, they know that we are firmly entrenched here in Ames. We love this community."

Oh well next.

He hasn't switched his committment yet. We used to beat Iowa pretty often for in-state recruits (Scales, Blythe, Arnaud, Smith, Brant, etc.). That ended with the Pollard/Chizik era, but give Rhoads a chance.

There's a faction our there(I'm not one of them) that thinks in state recruits aren't worth going after anyway...

I would go as far and say there is a faction where NOTHING is ever fast enough, big enough, good enough, coached well enough....well you get the point....

Disappointing and wearing at times...

Not to mention a large portion of the fan base.

I think he knows players change positions from what they were recruited for all the time in college, and he'd rather play for his favorite team than just the one that told him what he wanted to hear.
