    Is Daniel going on scholarship I'm assuming? Wondering if part of his goal walking on here was to try and earn a scholarship and realized that probably wasn't going to be a reality anymore after seeing the staff's increased approach to the portal.

    Hope Henry lands in a good spot. What happens with Wolf will be... interesting.

    Henry was communicated before the end of the season to open up a spot for Hornseth, but I wonder if the staff communicated some things to the rest of the team that precipitated some of these moves. I'm guessing the staff had a pretty good idea on Heise and knew the team couldn't run it back minus their best player and expect to compete for the top. Maybe they told the team they were going to go get guys that could compete and playing time was no guarantee. A risk, but one that they felt needed to happen.
    I think there's a lot of truth here. I think the staff knew this roster minus Heise wasn't going to get much done and there was probably some nudging.

    Fwiw, I'll bet Wolf ends up in the Summit or OVC.

      Hopefully we get a few more portal hits

          Enright will never be an All BE 1st team guy, but could make the “all pest” or all defensive team. If their new coach is looking to establish a tough mindset, he’s a perfect signing. It’s like bringing in a small version of O’Rear.

          Edit: Enright was also the one guy the Drake people thought might come back. Kevin Overton is now saying a return is possible, but those guys think Texas Tech or Oklahoma is more likely given NIL money.

          • Any word on the Iowa State guys? Have Pav or Fish set foot on campus at all for a visit? Obviously they both have visited before, so maybe that wouldn't be necessary.

              I've heard that Pav is a very heavy lean to Wisconsin at this point. (Side note: How long are they going to keep Gard around up there? I don't understand his recruiting and he doesn't set the world on fire on the bench)

              I know we're after Fish but I don't know if there's been a visit. You'd think that Kyle Pock is working that one hard.

                Hey, I don't want any negative talk about Gard! That's a Jake job if I've ever seen one

                  They're going to throw all that Big Ten money at Otzelberger. If they want him bad enough, Iowa State can't touch the financials.

                    Otz isn't going anywhere. He's got a machine going at Iowa State already, he'd be foolish to start all over again at frankly a worse job. Money is better, sure, but that's about it.

                        The Wisconsin job is miles better in every single way. Not close.

                        • KXNO was just talking about some MVC related transfer news. Kent and Larry from Indiana State are transferring to Texas. That apparently prompted Tyrese Hunter (ex Iowa State) to enter the portal. I doubt UNI goes after Hunter but it makes me wonder if we’ll see him with another MVC team. He’s originally from Racine, WI which is just up the interstate from Chicago. He was a big name high school recruit so will get some attention.

                            He was originally recruited by Prohm to Iowa State but never got to play for him. If he's dropping a level, it's probably Murray.

                            That said, if Tony Perkins is worth $300k (per Trilly) then Hunter is going to stay P5 and get a check somewhere.
