Another win for TJ! The 227 class now has two 4 star recruits.

[Cyclone Fanatic @cyclonefanatic]

🚨 2027 four-star power forward Donovan Davis commits to Iowa State 🚨

Davis is the second-highest rated commit in program history and the No. 38 player in the Class of 2027.

The 6-foot-7 forward chooses the Cyclones over Iowa, Marquette, Nebraska and Wisconsin.

Iowa State now has the No. 1 rated class by 247Sports.

@DavisBB21 Best wishes on wherever you choose to take your talents. No matter where you go there will always be haters. Use it as fuel.

Go Cyclones!

@cyclonemeatball Tell Pollard to let the Cannon back on the field!

[Randy Heckert 🌪 @heckert_ran]

@cyclonemeatball @cyclonebone I have details as well. Mistakes by one have ruined it for all!

[Randy Heckert 🌪 @heckert_ran]

Looking back, it sounds like they may have underperformed.

[Brent Blum @brentblum]

Wild that the 2022 @cyclonefb defense had 9 future NFL players on it. Will McDonald, Tyler Onyedim, Dom Orange, TJ Tampa, Anthony Johnson, JR Singleton, Malik Verdon, Darien Porter and Myles Purchase.

If Matt Campbell actually disclosed injuries this period would have been easier for Rocco. I am positive the fans would have supported him more rather than attacking him.

Well said Jake!

I understand the panic about the Milan Momcilovic situation, let me explain my perspective.

This isn’t Momcilovic “bag chasing.” Milan and Otzelberger have been weighing the options on what’s best for both parties. This situation is happening because of the timeline.

Iowa State had two avenues:
1. Wait on Momcilovic’s pro decision. If he came back, that’d be great for Iowa State. If he didn’t, they’d be in big trouble with a massive hole on the roster (ie 2022-23). At that point T.J. Otzelberger would be gambling that he could find a couple players that fit what he needed in Early may. That’s a big gamble.

2. Mutually part ways. If Milan couldn’t commit to coming back right now, then it’s safer for Iowa State to allocate those resources elsewhere. Otzelberger knew this was a possibility and had a plan for this. There’s a very good chance that Iowa State’s roster for 2026-27 is completed tonight. I believe that Iowa State’s portal class was built with the thought that Momcilovic wouldn’t be on the team next year. T.J. Otzelberger knows what players fit his program and it’s a lot easier to find those players in mid-April than it is mid-May. It's risk management.

Iowa State obviously went with option two. As tough as it is for both parties to move on, it really was the best option for both sides. In a perfect world, Momcilovic would have all of the feedback he needs on April 12. Unfortunately that’s not how it works. It wouldn’t be fair to Otzelberger, the staff and the returners to have the risk of an incomplete team. Milan gave so much to the program. Not every transfer decision resembles the brokenness of college spots. This one is a backup for Momcilovic if he doesn’t get the feedback he expects. It’s a necessity.

Should Iowa State have wanted Milan back? Absolutely. He’s the best shooter in America and will be highly sought after whether he stays in the draft or not. You can disagree with Otzelberger’s way of going about it. Sure, he could've taken the risk. There’s an argument to be made either way. But I’d highly recommend trusting the coach who has led Iowa State to the best five year stretch in program history. Momcilovic’s shooting can’t be replaced but Otzelberger can absolutely still put together a great team without him.

Fans can rest knowing Otz has a plan for every scenario.

My two cents.

Why Iowa State Players Left… It Wasn’t Always Their Choice 😔
@BrentBlum shares the hard truth most fans don’t see:
Some fifth-year seniors wanted to stay at Iowa State.
But the new staff simply didn’t have the NIL resources. These players were offered half to a third of what they made the year before at Iowa State.
“What are they supposed to do?”
It’s easy for fans to call them disloyal when you’re not the one facing hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost money at age 20.
A raw, empathetic look at the real NIL world and why leaving sometimes isn’t a choice.
