I hope this doesn't sound like a knock on Campbell or the ISU players, but why do people think some of them will go to Penn State and -- with pretty much the same coaching staff -- that went 8-4 this year and have never won a conference title suddenly turn Penn State into Big 10 and National Tittle contenders?
Because we might have gone 4-8 without them.
 
Any remote idea of any incoming players? All I see are kids leaving with no indication of anyone coming in

The incoming can't really happen until the window opens. This includes for PSU. Some may think they are heading that way but may not be in the end.

I'd suggest just sitting back and waiting to see what happens.
 
In addition to what's been mentioned about just needing bodies, you can't possibly think that a number of ISU guys would be unable to compete or contribute (perhaps even significantly so) at that B10/title level, can you? Brahmer, for instance, is a stud ANYWHERE.

He also doesn't need to win a title his first year. He will have a chance to build.
I always believed that if Iowa State joined the Big 10, we would be very competitive in football with most schools except for maybe two to four teams (OSU, MI, & Penn St most years and add Indiana this year). So many of our guys could be a good fit in Big 10 football.
 
Matt Campbell built a great program at ISU and left it in much better shape after 10 years. I sincerely believe that Matt appreciates and wants the best for ISU and would provide insight and assistance if needed. However, he moved on to the "bigger and better" job and needs to poach some of our players via the portal or redirect guys he was recruiting at ISU to PSU. That's business and is not personal. We didn't complain when Matt Campbell brought his Toledo staff to ISU along with some of his Toledo recruits. I am wondering how the new Jimmy Rogers ISU staff interacts with the Matt Campbell PSU staff in this coaching transition period. Do they talk much? Do they get along? Are they cooperative? Or, are they adversaries? Probably both in some instances.

Have been hearing the same about those 3 (and others) for a week now through other player's parent (who is also going). I fully expect our top players on both sides to be gone.

And if they leave so be it. We have seen players go and others will come and gladly replace those who departed. Jimmy Rogers replaced an entire roster at WSU and had a decent season. He’s a helluva coach. He has never had this much to sell recruits. He’ll be fine.
