Moses is pretty clearly the best slot receiver IMO.
Other names I haven't seen worth mention.
Amundsen QB/RB
Allen TE
Kartsen DT
Parris S
Berryman DE
Moser S
Reeves CB
Cotton-Moya S
McDonough DT

Are there any players on your team this year that you believe would belong on ISU's all-time roster? (Crosspost from reddit)

I don’t agree with some of these, and that’s mostly personal preference, but EJ Bibbs shouldn’t even sniff this list. We had 3 tight ends on the 2020 team alone that were better than him. I would put Bibbs and Easton Dean the same plane, and Easton isn’t coming close to the all time roster either.
It’s kind of depressing looking back on the ISU history. I think a lot of people are choosing fan favorites instead of the players that should be on the list, in some instances.
If we are totally honest with ourselves, the majority of skill players Campbell has brought in should be the ones filling this list, with one or 2 exceptions.

Good list but here is what I would change:
Krepfle as a TE
Karl Nelson as a T
Mike Stensrud as a DT
Jeff Braswell had the best single season for a LB. Chris Washington could be added here too.
Luther Blue and Tracy Henderson could be in there at WR. I'm not going to dispute your choices though
Bibbs had good production on bad teams and was an nfl hanger on for a while. I contend that his athleticism was wasted and he would have been an elite TE production wise under better coaching with better players. He averaged 10 ypc.
The last T and DT spot were tough choices, outside the top guy at each spot there really isn’t much separation. We have been lucky with the quality at times in our LB and WR rooms, I wouldn’t fault anyone for changing some selections there.
Leonard was undrafted and Hobbs was 3rd round. Very little chance Tampa isn't taken by the middle of the 2nd round at worst. Johnson was great but Tampa is better.
Agree with most of this. The WR's I'd put Butler over Danielson. Lazard is the clear #1 then the next 4 you could pick 3 of the guys you mentioned or Butler. Tampa over Johnson IMO. Safety is tough, we had some good run stopping safeties in David Sims and James Smith during CPR's tenure. Sims might sneak in at number 3 on that list. Reggie Hayward also has a case over McDonald and/or Bailey.
I think you have to put Henderson or Butler in place of Lane, but it's arguable. Kreple over Bibbs and Soehner. Nelson over Bykowski. Berryhill would beat Bailey on raw talent, but don't have a problem giving it to Bailey based on longevity with the program. Stensurud at DT. Robertson was a FS in the NFL. Was he CB at ISU? David Sims at SS. Jermaine Billups maybe? Why don't I remember a Barry Hill?
Robertson was a cb for us moved to safety in the NFL. Barry Hill played early/mid 70s at cb and safety for us and is our career leader in INTs. He was also an All American although not first team anywhere.
Yeah... Marcus Robertson is for sure on the list. Not only played 11 years in the NFL, but was also NFL first team All Pro in 1993.
Also... Karl Nelson is for sure on the list at T IMO.
A good question would be how many of ISU's greatest would see the field on some of the better college teams ever, or in some of the programs during their best stretches of the last 20-30 years.
That is a massive stretch. He was a fine tight end at ISU. Nowhere near the top. Using him being on a practice squad as being a “top player” at ISU is like saying Landon Akers was a top WR because he played in a couple games for the Rams.
TBH 10 ypc isn’t that good when you look at recent ISU TEs Kolar 13 ypc, Allen 10.9, Soehner 12 ypc, Brahmer 12.9, and that’s just on the recent players.
Like I said, fine TE, shouldn’t be mentioned as even close to being one of ISUs best.
That’s a much shorter list. These are guys that would start their senior year anywhere in that time frame in my opinion: Purdy, Hall, Troy Davis, DMont, Lazard, Hakeem, Kolar, Osemele, Will McDonald, Klein, Rose, Hobbs, Tampa
I’m fine with leaving him off the list, I just think he gets over looked because he played on some terrible teams. I think if he played in Campbells system with Purdy he would have been better as a receiving tightend than Kolar.
Yeah, I was talking just Campbell era all-star team. All time, it would just be Tampa and that's even debatable.
