Would be great for Shaw or Scates to step up.
Players staying and leaving for 21-22 season
- Thread starter cloneclone
- Start date
Milton will fill the void or Jackson will take over.
Look, I don’t want to derail this thread, but Wigginton came back because he was projecting as 2nd round/undrafted. Marcus Smart cost himself serious coin by staying for a second year (though that worked out alright).
Could Butler have improved his stock by staying? Definitely. Could have also gotten hurt, or not improved and cost himself a potential year of earning opportunity. You could second guess these decisions forever, but it seems safe to assume that Butler got - and Kolar will get - sound advice from the coaching staff.
Another year of Allen is exactly what the TE rooms needs. Dean and probably Moore are ready to excell as receivers but Chase is the guy that can lead by example on how to be the whole package.
He doesn't, Remsburg does.
If one of the inside guys moved to
Tackle it would be Downing or Newell.
But I'm betting on Remsburg.
Schweiger was very good at RT. Moved him out there and put Hufford in at RG. ISU is going to have some serious depth on the OL. If they make even close to the improvement they made this season, they will be dominant.
Is it a stretch to say our offensive line across the board could be preseason 1st or second team?
Downing and Newell (first)
Foster, Simmons, Schweiger (second)
We will see what the staff does at the right tackle spot.

I would add Hufford to the list of those in the mix for playing time. Nice problem to have.
Soehner is the only one who has indicated that he's gone on offense so far. Don't count Kolar out quite yet.
The only position I have much of a concern about right now for next year is D-line. And even then there's guys there like Lee and Peterson that will be good. (McDonald will continue to be great)
Knock on wood- I think we’ve graduated beyond needing to play true Fr on the OL.
They'd be second year true freshmen.
Plus if we keep winning we just might get a true freshman in the future that's just to good not to start.
The one thing everyone has to remember is that ISU won't be the only team with players opting to return for a freebie year.
That said, it sure is nice to have it happen when ISU has difference makers taking that opportunity. There were a lot of seasons in the past where a couple of guys coming back wouldn't have made much of a difference.

Butler was going to be the same guy. His production may have changed but he wasn't likely to fix the concerns. His outcome was likely to be the same no matter when he went. He was hurt much more by being injured right away. Unless there's a lot invested in you, that's just about impossible to come back from.
As a Chiefs/Cyclone fan, Travis Kelce, the Chief's star tight end is 31 and will probably retire in two years. Kohler is the same type of tight end and would be an excellent replacement for the Chiefs when Kelce retires. I would guarantee that if Kohler goes in the 3-4th Round, the Chiefs will pick him up. Besides that ISU and Chiefs are both Cardinal and Gold.
