## Resource

Iowa State Cyclones football set a new standard for “culture” under head coach Jimmy Rogers, as the team avoids the turmoil seen at programs like TCU despite a flood of transfer players. Can Rogers’ intentional roster-building and tight-knit locker room propel Iowa State past preseason expectations and toward a bowl game this fall? Host Nick Marovets assesses Iowa State’s Big 12 outlook, projecting six wins behind a potentially elite defense led by Jalen Raynor and a recharged special teams unit. On the basketball front, concern mounts as Killian Torrey suffers a shoulder injury at Damian Lillard’s elite camp—how will his absence and Christian Wiggins’ unavailability test the Cyclones’ depth and rotations? With season-changing injuries and high hopes on the gridiron, are the Cyclones equipped for a breakthrough, or will setbacks derail their campaign?
