ATH/RB Eli Sanders Obviously Chooses ISU over Iowa
- Thread starter NATEizKING
- Start date
People actually believe the kid be like, "I'd like to commit to the 2001 Hawkeye team, please?" Because that's what that's saying.
People must forget their thought process as a 16-18 year old. Many are lucky to think 15 minutes down the road let along look back 10 years and forward 5-10.
These are the types of things you do when you feel the tide changing. I suspect there is now more comments of "well I think highly of Iowa State" made by recruits and this is what you do to tell them they are wrong. Only problem is today's "eye test" is starting to look different than what that sheet says.
Oh and I think they should add a "sued by former players" row 1 - 0
And a "knowingly put players in the hospital" row 1 - 0
In before "THOSE guys were actually our top choices"..
1) I'm not a troll but I respect the play.For a reason. It does get your attention. I was waiting for a troll to take the bait.
2) IMO the better play would have been to spell Newell's name wrong.
No one is comparing the 90's. In my opinion, ISU needs to get more kids in to the NFL and that is going to take some time(decade). Getting kids to the next level is a HUGE selling point. There is reason ISU football and basketball have special walls recognizing kids that make it to the league. You go to any college campus and one of the biggest monuments/walls of recognition is the players they have been able to advance to the league.
Come on Arland. That’s the type of **** a Nebraska fan would do
He also forgot Number of coaches accused of being Racist since the summer. Pretty sure that is a stat worth nothing by Bruce
People gloss over the fact that many players looks for schools based on that position. If you’re an RB right now, are you going to look at Iowas **** or ISUs success with Montgomery and Hall?
They have a much better recruiting class and are a ranked team. Doubt they feel a tide changing.
Me mentioning the 90's was more hyperbole given that stupid Hawkeye spreadsheet. I never disagreed with you about the importance of putting players in the NFL. I agree with you on everything but the decade timetable. Clemson went from a respectable program with the occasional good year to a powerhouse in about 5 years.
A top level prospect is likely planning on getting to the league in three years. If the past three years of a program are successful, that will likely be more than enough to sell a recruit (with other factors also coming into play).
As I said years ago to my stepsons, "When are you going to start living out of your possibility, not just your history?"
But, but, but...they have four 4* OLs signed! What RB wouldn't want to play there? Never mind that ISU just had the nation's leading rusher and our former starter just had a 1000 yard season in the league.
If you look at how hard of a time they've had filling out their class post racism becoming public, they are going to struggle with the 2022 class.
I think the most important factor in recruiting: Does the kid relate to the head coach? Does he feel the connection?
I know that facilities, campus, and other things are important, too... but that coach connection thing cannot be ignored.
So you need to ask yourself... Matt Campbell? Or KKKirk Ferentz? Which person would you like better?

While few recruits are they in love with a school to begin with, I think having a relationship with the opposing staff tends to melt rivalry.
Winner. Right here.
Wanna talk about history?
Fluellen. Hunt. Montgomery. Hall.
Those are the ONLY Running Backs to start a whole season for Matt Campbell.
Trust me, Eli Sanders knows this and it is probably the deciding factor.
