## Resource

Iowa State Cyclones’ football future faces a turning point—did Jamie Pollard make the right call by tapping Jimmy Rogers instead of promoting Taylor Mouser? Nick Marovets unpacks Rocco Becht’s viral interview, exploring the quarterback’s decision to transfer, the loyalty question surrounding former coach Matt Campbell, and how Mouser’s potential promotion might have altered the Cyclones’ roster stability for this season and beyond. The episode also previews the upcoming Spring Showcase, spotlighting the team's revamped intensity, key positional battles, and what to expect from Rogers’ fresh approach. Shifting to basketball, Nick Marovets breaks down T.J. Otzelberger’s masterful transfer portal performance—including near-perfect roster retention and five impactful additions—setting the stage for a promising new era in Cyclone athletics. Will these calculated moves pay off big in the Big 12?
