The last game at SDSU was in such miserable conditions that sunny Cali offers a much different weather environment. I will be interested to see how he does against SC and OSU.

He paid his dues at MSU and I wish him well. Next man up Bobcats.

Did everyone see the sit down interview in Bobcat Stadium that Isaiah did with Ashley Washburn? He talked about his immediate family history, of a mother trying to make a better life for her young children. It was somewhat reminiscent of the Lance McCutcheon story. Isaiah came across as very intelligent, deep-thinking, and well-spoken (and muscular). He’s very adaptable — he did participate in hunting and fishing in Montana. I was left feeling that he is taking the responsibility of providing for his current family (and any future family) very seriously, and that any football/academic decisions would be informed by that guide star. It was a great interview. (I may have confused the source of some of this with Colter’s excellent article.)

I assume he'd want to follow Jimmy Beall to SDSU, but I also see that Robby is the recruiting coordinator. If past performance is any indication of future success, I predict that Robbie will whiff on Ifanse.....again.

Completely forgot the spawn of Hauck was the RC at SDSU. He took several cheap shots to Ifanse in the 2021 game in Missoula and Isaiah was willing to throw hands. That would be interesting!

Could he come back home, where he belongs? I noticed on his Twitter page, he replaced his profile pic and background back to MSU. I think he had changed that when he went to SJSU. Or is that against the portal rules???

He belongs wherever he wants to go as he gave MSU five years of his life so let's just establish that again. However, if he came back to MSU he would be welcomed back with open arms.

Sorry Vim, I think you misinterpreted my comment. I was not judging him, MSU, or the portal. I was just stating that myself, like many others, will always believe Bozeman is his home. Just like the child that leaves home and explores the world; they're always welcome back.

"Nope" meaning you would not take him back on your team?

Maybe it's just time for him to try and make it in the NFL or some other pro league. :shrug:

No I would not take him back. Already explained why in another thread. Sets a terrible example for all the other players.

I don’t care if he is the best rb in program history (which he is) or someone like jaharie Martin. Ya enter the portal, you lose yer spot. Period.

Coming at it from a different angle, if you had previously been paying some NIL to him would you offer it upon his return?

No way he should be offered again at MSU. Absolutely no way.

The chances of him coming back are likely slim to none, but damn, I didn’t expect so many people to be adamantly against a return.

Will we be fine without him? Yes, our RB group is stacked and did quite well without him for 90% of the season last year.

But why would you possibly not want to welcome back arguably the best RB in the FCS if the attitude was right and the team was for it.

I’m just guessing, but I think he’s played his last down.

I'm not sure if MSU would or should take Ifanse back because I'm not sure if it makes MSU a better team by doing so. But reading some of these comments...wow, I hope these folks are more forgiving in their personal lives than they are online.

What would you call the right attitude? He seemed to leave because he thought he could do better than MSU. Turns out not many teams agreed with that. And now he's on the move again.

If he comes back I'll be excited to have a proven RB on the depth chart but he'd have to earn his carries after bailing on a team that was just fine without him last year, even with all the other injuries at the position.
