Bless his heart.
Campbell will be selling hope in Ames on Thursday.
Will be pleasantly surprised if he ends up a Hawk. I would view our chances to slightly increase if he doesn't make up his mind this week as he said he was hoping to do. That timeline seemed ready made for an ISU last visit announcement.

75 years in a row of selling hope must get old.

What is worse? Selling hope for 75 years, or all the fans continuing to believe the sales pitch?

What's hilarious is that I am sure that whenever we are recruiting against the Ohio State's, Alabama's, and other blue bloods of college football that they say the same thing about us. Yes I know we put players in the NFL but I am referring to the over all success of the program compared to the blue blood programs. Their fans point their fingers at us and scoff at us.

What's the alternative? Stop caring and act like Purdue fans?

It is just funny the way ISU fans by Pollards shit every single year. All he has to do is fire a guy, hire a new one, and break out the same old slogans and the ISU fans eat that shit up. I got ISU friends who literally think Campbell is a National coach of the year type coach. It is hilarious.
Losing Downing to ISU would hurt but hardly a huge loss. We have a terrific oline lineup this year plus some studs like Wirfs and Kallenberger coming in this year. We have some good young uns already in the program, like Williams, Banwart and Jackson. The '19 class got off to a great start with Miller coming on board and Endres and Putnam as strong possibilities. Not to mention the likelihood of the A&M transfer. I want Downing but I'm also not worried about oline recruiting at Iowa.

You hate to see Iowa lose out on their top guys. If Iowa wants him this early, he is no doubt a good OLman and will do well at ISU. There are many more good OL prospects out there though, and I'm sure Iowa will bring one of them in to go along with Jenkins. The thing is Downing would be better after 5 years of development under KF and staff than he will be under Campbell, and his predecessor and their staffs.

I love how everyone assumes that he would be dumb to not go to Iowa as his chances of the NFL are lower. Maybe he could care less about the NFL and would like to focus on his education? Some kids actually use the scholarship to take advantage of the school opportunity not the opportunity to play in the NFL. I hope the kid does whatever he feels is best because if he isn't fully invested in Iowa it isn't worth it for either side. We are living teh example right now with Jerminic Smith. Obviously something went awry and now we lose out on a kid we have invested two years in and have to start over.

I think they did pretty well at toledo development wise with there lineman
How many draft picks again?
Toledo plays in the MAC. The MAC puts more players in the NFL than the B12. If he dreams of playing in the NFL he won't play in the B12, let alone ISU.
