Make your own determination about Xavier Hutchinson being the next standout receiver that Iowa State hopes he becomes, but consider this: He said no to a last-minute pitch by Oklahoma. He said no when the Sooners' staff drew comparisons to All-World CeeDee Lamb, now in the Cowboys camp after being a first-round selection in the most recent NFL draft. He said no to a team that historically has one of the best quarterbacks in the college football land, and no to a team that's been in four of the past five college football playoffs. To hang with his June 2019 commitment to Matt Campbell says something about the junior, who at this time a season ago, was preparing with the rest of the Blinn Junior College team.If you're a Cyclones fan, you should root for stories like these, because a receiver saying no to a program that has won or shared the last five Big 12 Conference regular-season championships? That should prove something, not only about Campbell's rising program, but also about the kind of players he recruits. "It wasn't tough at all, actually," Hutchinson said last week about his decision to stick with the Cyclones. "When you have a program like Iowa State's, with the coaches and the family-like experience you get here - it's really easy to say no to schools like that. "I commend Iowa State for everything they've done for me." - Des Moines Register
