He may have had to grind it out a little before he'd be on the field in Nebraska. ISU might have promised him immediate playing time. Big fish in a small sea right off the bat. I admittedly don't know the kid or what his character is but I don't think that scenario is all that uncommon with high school kids.

TE Benjamin Brahmer Flips To Iowa State
- Thread starter Red Reign
- Start date
that doesnt mean anything, brock purdy is now starting for the 49ers. being in the sec or b1g doesnt guarantee you a nfl contract. especially if you are buried on a depth chart and get no playing time. see any top10 school whose players are now in the portal.
You can promise all the immediate playing time you want but if you aren't ready, you aren't ready. Agree, if he is at Nebraska, he would need a few years as a TE for development unless he switched to the WR/Slot role. Maybe ISU will just throw him into the fray right away, ready or not? The Big 12 is going to get a lot weaker once OU/UT leave (and "powers" BYU, UCF, Houston, and Cincinnati join) so at least he won't face as tough of competition as he would in the Big Ten, so he has that going for him. The Big 12 is basically going to become a non-P5 conference, or, at best, a weak P5 conference. You don't lose what they have (and replace with the teams they did) and still stay a tough Power 5 conference.
He comes from a good family, that is for sure. He won't flip back to UN.
I have stopped in Ames itself while traveling the interstate. Talk about a town in the middle of nowhere, with not much going on, that somehow has a FBS college!
"powers", that gave me a good laugh. while shocking at first, im cooling to the loss, weve seen kids leave. bryson williams comes to mind, right there in lincoln, left to play for the badgers, had a decent career, played in most of the games but only started 3, ultimately not getting him probably didnt matter. who knows if this situation will be the same, but it just shows one player usually isn't the end of the world.

He probably wants to see the field, can't blame him.
He does realize that Frost is no longer in the state so can't take him and others to the gate, right?
Yeah, I was being facetious calling those schools "powers".
ISU is returning a better TE room than NU next year. Plus he’s the 699th ranked player in the class. So a promise of immediate pt seems unlikely. Maybe he wants to study aerospace engineering. I know a couple of kids who went to ISU for that.
Did the academic consideration change recently? If he is going to ISU for academic reasons, he could have made that choice a long time ago.This reeks of acedemic interference. kids considering academics when considering a college leaves quit a stench when viewed by sports fans….
So you’re saying everything they have said since the home visit was all made up BS and they blatantly lied? OK.
Your guess is Wrong they did like Rhule
The decision was already made before Coach Ruhle visited
A relationship was built with Iowa State after Frost was fired and they went after him hard
He will sign with Iowa State in 15 days
Very best to him
