Looks to be trending to over a 50% roster turnover in Ames 

What I find interesting it that these players weren't exactly dominating the Big 12.....perhaps solid players to join an already strong nucleus?  

Per another thread, Iowa State to start robbing MAC rosters to field a team?

Players and Coaches build equity together 

And lets not think that many are trying to recreate Cig JMU exodus and insert IU playbook 

 

I thought about that...assuming ISU's players are probably rated higher than a bunch of JMU guys. I'm sure he got most of the guys he truly wanted.

Interesting you mentioned rated higher players:   

My You Tube Algo is all over different coaches and whatnot:    A couple days ago, Opening Presser announced Coach Cig , go back and give a listen if you haven't in awhile

Question about rated players etc 

He flat out said what every coach says and what I Have been saying for as many years as I could remember....  summary:  " you telling me guys are sitting in a room watching tape is going to formulate a better evaluation of players than myself or other football coaches"    and gave a look of pure disgust that someone actually asked him

I don't disagree....whether we agree with the recruiting ratings or not, just guessing most (not all) of the JMU players would have jumped at the opportunity to play at a program like ISU earlier if given the chance.  After all, many followed their coach with no hesitation to the NCAA's Div 1 all-time losingest program just to have an opportunity to play P4 football.

This is exactly it. he is the only one to figure this out. People need to remember he was the recruiting coordinator for Saban at Alabama. He has an eye on what to look for. Others may copy it. And like Bash mentioned, that Iowa State roster was middle of the pack at best. They are likely about to find out that the B1G is a different animal. 

 

Another note, just imagine how good JMU would be now with Cignetti and all those players staying.

Pretty sure that was meant to be a joke. In the real poll, Indiana will be #1, Ohio State and Oregon top five, and ND top seven. Pretty sure even ESPN is on board with the SEC taking a back seat to the B1G.

That's the point... it wasn't associated with ESPN 

Blue Check Mark:   Puts something Crazy on X.   Gets paid when folks just click and attach to other websites like this to have other people click to say.... THIS IS A JOKE,  ESPN IS SO BIAS....   etc 

There is 0 legitimacy to that post other than the owner of that account watching people freak o0ut in the comments and get a few pennies that continue to compound and add up 

I believe some call it GRIFTING.

Sorry….I saw it as satire as well, and thought it was too funny not to share. 

No reason to apologize.  We all laughed, at least at some point.   I immediately looked to see if the handle was 3 year letter winner.

I knew it was a joke, but I had to get some bashing on ESPN being the SEC’s bit**

Or, possibly, the other way around?

I hope this works out for him, but man, to be in 4 programs in 4 years is a bit much. I would like to see restrictions on how often you can use the portal put in place.
