Anyone know where Clayton Vette ended up tranferring to after leaving Iowa State? I was thinking Upper Iowa and Wartburg were two considerations, but I looked through their rosters online and he is not listed. Or is he not playing basketball at all anymore???

Re: Vette
Clayton Vette is at Winona State in MN and is sitting out one year from competition. Except for the games, he is practicing and participating in everything as a team member. Other than being a little frustrated about the "sitting" for one year thing, he is enjoying his new environment. I'm still wishing he was a Panther!?!?Originally posted by Catmandoo View PostSome people feel the rain..........others just get wet.

Re: Vette
Yeah this one is still tough to figure out. I thought someone said he didn't think he could make it in D1 or didn't want the pressure or something like that? Not sure if that's the real story or not, but considering he is now at Winona I would say that could be a possibility? Too bad too, I saw him play a few times and he could have developed into a real nice player for us, ISU, etc, I'm sure he still will at WS I guess.Comment

Re: Vette
Clayton went to Winona State because they have a winning program. They have won the D2 title 2 out of the last 3 years. Coach Jake really laid an egg with recruiting Vette. Coach Mac went after him and then Coach Jake never picked up the slack because we already had Pehl committed. Thus that is why Vette went to ISU after he was released from his Indiana State commitment when Waitman got fired.Coach Whisenhunt 1/18/09. "There was never any complaints about not being named the starter, all he wanted was an opportunity and he took advantage of it. Kurt is probably one of the greatest individuals you'll ever meet. Kurt worked hard on a lot of things that a lot of times older quarterbacks aren't willing to do. That's a credit to his humility and his competitive drive, and the reason that we are here today in great part is what Kurt Warner has done for us."Comment

Re: Vette
I believe Vette was under the impression that he would NOT have to sit a year after Iowa State. If he would have known this, he might have looked at UNI. Indiana State released him with the condition of "no Valley team" for a year. UNI's mistake was made when Clayton was a junior is high school. Indiana State identified a sprouting talent and recruited him and UNI did NOT. When he matured into a STUD during his senior year; it was too late for UNI. I am not bashing on Jake or UNI coaching staff, I think this happens quite often; sometimes you see it and sometimes you don't kind of thing.Originally posted by merkpanthers View PostSome people feel the rain..........others just get wet.

Re: Vette
How come you can transfer from FBS to FCS football without having to sit out, but Division 1 to Division 2 you have to sit out a season? Seems kind of off to me.Comment

Re: Vette
I don't think that was the only factor. It had to do more with how he left Iowa State?!?!?! BTW, Vette is a good guy!!Originally posted by panthercurveball View PostSome people feel the rain..........others just get wet.

Re: Vette
I don't think he took the time to consider anything when he left. If you read the papers he didn't stick around to complete academics or anything; he just ran home. You need to be academically eligible before worrying about sports. That's pure speculation from what I remember reading.
The rumors were pretty harsh on the why so I'll leave them alone...Comment
