    URGENT: Iowa State's Recruiting Class Ranked 58th After New Additions, Big Changes Needed?

    Iowa State Cyclones eye a bold future as the 2027 football recruiting class surprises with size, speed, and out-of-state talent. Could Jimmy Rogers’ unconventional approach build a Big 12 contender from the ground up? Nick Marovets explores why Iowa State’s mid-50s national recruiting rank might not tell the whole story, highlighting commitments from Special Henry, Will Slagle, and quarterback Cash Hollingshead. Key topics include the Cyclones’ diverse recruiting footprint, prioritizing offensive line strength, and the value of culture fit over recruiting stars. Nick Marovets challenges traditional rankings, arguing that foundation, buy-in, and team identity matter more than ever as Iowa State redefines its roster and builds momentum for seasons to come. What does success really look like in Ames—and can this class set the tone for a new era of Cyclones football?   Photo Credit: Nirmalendu Majumdar - Imagn Images   Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

    BIG 12 SQUAD - Brendan Sorsby ruled ELIGIBLE | Will Iowa State REVOLT?

    Texas Tech faces national backlash after quarterback Brendan Sorsby’s suspension is reduced to just two games following NCAA gambling violations. Rival schools, including Nebraska and Georgia, threaten to pull out of future matchups, while debate rages over league commissioner Brett Yormark’s power to intervene. The Big 12’s reputation, integrity, and potential for a new villain take center stage as some argue Tech is simply getting the SEC-style favoritism others have enjoyed for years. The Big 12 Squad breaks down the legal maneuvering, what this precedent means for player discipline, and whether Sorsby’s return shifts the balance of power in the conference. Can Texas Tech silence the critics and turn controversy into a College Football Playoff run? Plus, West Virginia’s Omaha chances ignite talk of regional rivalries and fan support. Is the Big 12 ready for a new national narrative—or scandal? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
