Jordyn Morgan in Portal
- Thread starter Aclone
- Start date
In order to be eligible for Fall 22 a athlete has to be in the portal by today. Anyone entering the portal after today will not be eligible for Fall 22 unless granted a waiver.
You listed…(counting)…four guys who were totally blocked from starting, and had been recruited over. Isheem Young, who was either beaten out by Freyler or looking for NIL money (Ole Miss suggests both). Oh, and Antoine also counts as a safety, because he’d also been passed by the corners and moved.
None of them are really a huge surprise except for McDonald, and I expect some day we’ll get the rest of the story.
Of course, it may be twenty years from now, like when a certain linebacker didn’t actually get a broken jaw from tripping over his cleats or whatever.
But if you want to do the “conspiracy theory” thing, just say that for most of them Broomfield is clearing out the safety room to make room for his gu—er, better recruits.
Though that wouldn’t seem to apply to McDonald.
I'm not good at Wheel of Fortune so forgive me but what's the rest of 'gu-'?
“His guys”
Edit: My impression is that Coach Broomfield has done really, really well recruiting his position since he’s been hired.

Wonder if ISU is looking to bring in a transfer in the secondary now with so many guys leaving.
Freyler had an incredible freshman season and turned it up late. Excited to see what he is capable of this season.
Get your point.
In my opinion, the vast majority of guys that left ISU did it because they want to play, not searching for money. Most will probably go to a lower league to find PT. Guys returning for an extra “Covid year” impacted the departures.
In Horne’s case I think the return of a 5th year LB and Reader coming are why he left. I have no idea what the coaches told him, but I think he could see his playing career was getting short if he wants to hit the field. JMHO.
My guess is McDonald left for NIL ongoing opportunity $, not a big signing bonus. ( if it was $ at all )
I agree. It's a playing time issue for almost all of the players. Isheem Young got paid, although at the very least, Freyler was going to eat into his snaps this year. McDonald, I'm guessing PJ Fleck has been in his ear. Morgan was going to see snaps, but his chances of starting were pretty low and got lower once it was known that Thompson was signing. My prediction is that McDonald ends up at Minnesota and Morgan ends up at somewhere like a UTSA or UTEP or North Texas.
At least he went to a program that should allow him a lot of playing time.
He must’ve had a great time at the spearmint rhino last fall.

I like that lineup. Not a lot of reps in there, but a talented group with tons of potential. I think Howard is gonna be a badass. And Cooper could be really good too.
