Ben bought my buddy a beer a little while back. Nice dude, hope he has success in the future, and that we can move on and build the program we are all hoping for.
Way off topic to where the thread started, so this will be the last thing I write on it.
Iowa State currently does have an advantage in NIL and has over the last 4 years. Two clear reasons are they hired a coach who had instant success, making it easier for their fans to buy in and donate...
Not just a Facebook post, but a Facebook post that all of the comments say is inaccurate 🤣. NIL information is private and isn't posted anywhere so you can only see speculation about numbers. USAF knows this, so whenever someone posts anything about NIL he likes to "prove them wrong" by asking...
You know as well as I do that NIL does not need to be publicized by the universities so the information on what they truly have is low. It also isn't that hard to see that ISU has had more success funding players than we have. FYI 7.55 Million would be about 5 million more than what we think the...
Who cares about Ben. Move on.

I also have perspective of knowing this person and how...
Heck, look at the responses from when Kai Shinholster decided to stay. In our minds he should have been the last of the 3 recruits that should have been prioritized. Now we are hoping he gets more minutes and loving his hustle.
I am a PJ fan and believer. I like the messages he puts on the table, and I believe he is genuine which is why we have minimal major transfers each year. However, I work with a guy who's kid was recruited by the Gophers and other D1 schools. His experience was very negative with PJ. I don't...
I only got to watch part of the 1st few minutes, and the last couple minutes. When I put it on my phone, I saw it was a ten point game, and figured I'd keep it on just to monitor. A few minutes later, I realized we had the 10 point lead!
