Bankston Transferring to the Rajun Cajuns (EDIT: Now Houston)

[Cycl0nepower]

Maybe Louisiana’s coach will let him sit out of practice if he’s not willing to put in the effort.

Was that the problem?

 

[isucy86]

That seems like quite the step down. Yikes

I seem to recall they beat ISU at JT and they have been a 10+ win team the last 2 years. So he will get good coaching and exposure with the Cajuns.

Obviously, his transfer is about getting snaps in a defense that fits his skills. Can't fault a kid If it is his best chance to play in the NFL. There are a lot of non-P5 guys drafted rounds 1-3.

Wish him the best.

 

[khardbored]

That's spicy.



(Pun intended.)

 

[Cycsk]

But we generally only play Texas once per year...

I really hope he makes some big plays to beat Texas next year too.

 

[ClonesFTW]

Might get awkward if P5 program snags Napier

A little ironic in his hashtags he has culture listed. With the offer postings on Twitter 1st and then this, seems like he is trying a little hard to throw it back in the face of the ISU program. Maybe I'm thinking to much into it.

That's Louisiana's tag line, like The Process is for Iowa State. They capitalize the UL (cULture).

 

[StPaulCyclone]

Welp, if nothing else, it suggests that the issue may have been academics. I can't imagine the Louisiana college system is a whole lot better than the rest of their public school system.

Could he have not qualified for the bowl? Plenty entering portal after.

I think I'm just "over" his story. I think he would have had a blast and really enjoyed the Fiesta. Who wouldn't? That's a BCS bowl and I get if you're opting out for pro reasons one thousand percent, but this is all just weird.
I'm not gonna speculate on his grades.

Good luck on your future Latrell, and thanks for being a Cyclone.

No that guy's just an ass.

His story?

 

[JP4CY]

His story?

The way his Cyclone career ended.

The way his Cyclone career ended.

Is this a point of contention or am I finding nuance that's not there?

Auburn tampering, grades, etc. I cared at first but I just dont anymore. His snaps decreased for a reason and i trust the staff.
I wish him well, I just think he missed out on something really special.

 

[ISUMojoMan]

His best chance for the NFL would have been to play in the Fiesta bowl and make some exceptional plays. The mystery is why he entered the portal before the Fiesta Bowl?

You mean transferring to a former opponent like Shayok?

 

[CySmurf]

There of all places.... really? Latrell that’s just mean.

That mother******...(honestly, best of luck to him)

 

[cstrunk]

Good for him! Glad he contributed to the Cyclones and was a solid player.

 

[8bitnes]

This^. Best of luck Latrell

 

[AgronAlum]

That’s a weird choice with the P5 offers he was getting as soon as he announced he was in the portal. Whatever. Best of luck.
