Iowa State Cyclones face a pivotal offseason as Jimmy Rogers rebuilds the roster after Matt Campbell's departure. With 57 players gone, Rogers brings in 45 fresh faces, but key positions like defensive back, wide receiver, linebacker, and running back still need reinforcements. Can the Cyclones overcome these roster gaps and maintain competitiveness in the ever-changing Big 12?
Nick Marovets spotlights Iowa State’s transfer portal strategy, breaks down which units are set and which remain vulnerable, and explains why Rogers’ experience crafting a bowl-caliber team at Washington State makes him the right choice for the Cyclones. Plus, a tough stretch for Iowa State women's basketball raises questions about finding new identity after losing key starters to injury. Is a late-season surge still possible, or will this skid define their campaign?
