I know it is hard to believe but I do have eligibility left.
Craig McDonald transferring
- Thread starter FeedBreece
- Start date
Definitely. I don't know if this kid is getting money. But the ones who do, they are going to receive criticism when they don't perform well.
Just a guess with McDonald...I think the staff didn't see this coming. Guessing PJ Fleck has been in his ear. IF there's money involved, it probably isn't a lot. I would bet that Verdon getting at least a few snaps with the 1's probably made McDonald a little more open to the conversation. As in, he was far from guaranteed a starting spot at ISU.
I think that the JUCO kid was in the mix right after Miller and Antoine left. The staff always has a plan for what to do if guys leave. I would guess that Morgan probably thought he'd be elevated to starter and when he saw they immediately had a JUCO on an OV, he's gone. And with 2 spots opening up in the two-deep, that made ISU an easy choice...no need to go visit KU or Mizzou.
We know Anthony and Beau are going to be on the field as much as possible. I think Verdon can be solid and I'm also interested to see how or if this Trevon Howard (freshman out of IMG) kid works into the rotation. He is already on campus and picked ISU while holding offers from Michigan, Arizona, Michigan St, Colorado, Louisville, and Minnesota.
They were after Howard a long time. And he has a college ready body. I could easily see him playing this season. With the lack of Safeties on the roster, he may be needed for special teams at the very least.
Thompson visited Friday/Saturday. Then two guys entered the Portal. Strange as it may seem, it’s almost impossible not to be connected.
Just wait until some of them have inevitable struggles/bad games, get dinged up, or maybe just have a sub par season.
Fans, sportswriters and the NIL money gods will probably not hold back much.
The locker room atmosphere in that scenario also could be pretty brutal I'd imagine.
I’ve always thought that was a big city thing. You know, like in NYC so many people commute from so far away.
I’m 830-5. I work for financial institutions at my job. Basically only difference is that I take a 30 minute lunch, so it shortens my day.
I don't think Mr. Osen would appreciate that.
I think it had more to do with May 1st being the deadline to transfer w/o having to sit-out.
Not sure how you can say that with any certainty. For all we know the kid could be the next Eisworth.
Why? This is a totally valid question given our depth and talent at Dline and now lack of depth at DB....
