Our recruiting is awful right now

Last edited:
I am VERY interested to see what its like inside the Utah football program. they don't recruit 5-star players, but they compete with the teams that do. Other teams are like this as well. Iowa, TCU, Nebraska, Boise to name a few.

Then there are team like Notre Dame who recruit 5-star players and only win 5 games.

edit: beat me to it.
 
Give me the long list of recruits that were beating those schools out for?

QFT

And Utah recruits MUCH better than we do, especially in Texas.
Oh course they do now, you think they did when they were winning 4 games a year 10 seasons ago? Come on man, China didnt build the great wall in a day. I would really love for your *** to go and talk to KF about stars and how he recruits because this is what PR is doing also.

wait, CPR is talking to kirk ferentz about recruiting and the caliber players he should be after? is that what they were tlaking about at midfield before the game last month?

and the great wall could have easily been built in a day. especially if they built it out of unwanted infants.
 
I was looking at Rivals.com

We didn't even crack the top 50 for our 2011 class...and were DEAD last in the Big 12

Colorado has FOUR commits and they have a higher ranked class than our class of 13

The scary thing is, that this recruiting comes after all of the publicity of last year's win over Nebraska in Lincoln, Paul Rhoad's "I'm proud to be your coach!" locker room speech after the game, the 7-win season, the bowl win over Minnesota, etc. All of that, and we can't crack the top 50. What will recruiting be like in the aftermath of games like this one and the Iowa game?

Hmmm no KF and Rhoads are not talking to each other, but how they have to build their programs is very similar.
 
Utah's recruiting classes are pretty full of 2-3 star players. And they are light years ahead of us. Their QB is a sophomore, so he's been in the system as long as arnaud has, but he is clearly better. Wynn is actually quite good. They have a lot of studs on their team that were only 3 stars. Our "studs" can't match theirs.
 
its hard to critique rhoads' staff on such short notice, but the games are being played NOW and we are behind, Right NOW. We will talk about "later" when it comes.

Iowa class is ranked 30th right now

Were aren't even in the top 50...

Beyond stars, ITS OFFERS. You want to beat out other BCS programs.

Were beating out scrubs.

Consistency in the program, the fall of the Big 12, location, all of which affect ISU. But consistency at this point is HUGE not only winning but coaching. CPR needs 5 years to have a shot at a BCS bowl.

Damn, you are persistant. You may want to email CPR on this. KF has been at Iowa for how many seasons? Been to how many bowl games? And won a BCS bowl game. Damn give CPR at least 3 years to measure results!
 
If you take the time to look, Utahs class has several recruits with impressive offers.

We have ZERO
Dude just shut up. Please. Utah has been on the big stage, have we since McCarney? No. Do me a favor, go back to KFs second recruiting class and tell me who they were beating out for recruits. I know he wasnt even beating out McCarney for in-states cause I was in high school then. You just dont have a clue.
 
Wow...

BCS Bowl? Are you on crack?

We'll be lucky to get to a bowl in those five years, and you have the stupidity to bring up a BCS bowl?

Like I said earlier, QFT.
How in the **** would you know? Did you predict a bowl game last season? Hell no you didnt.
 
Utah's recruiting is not much better then ours even now when they are going to be in the Pac 10. Last year we beat out Utah for Shaban Dika.

College Football Recruiting Schools - ESPN

For Tad Ecby we beat out- Minnesota, SMU, Houston
For Kyle Boyd we beat out- Wyoming
For Rob Standard we beat out- Nebraska
Ted Lampkin- Nebraska and KSU
Jared Brackens- Minnesota
Sam Richardson- TTech(rumor), Navy, Air Force
David Irving- Nevada, Colorado State, Fresno State

I also ask if the OP has seen any of them play. We also have 4 and a half months left to recruit some of our other targets. If you remember last year, our best recruit didn't commit until January.
 
KU under the big man always had a bunch of 3 star guys that played some good ball. Coach Mac made some pretty good players out of non-recruited guys, and so will CPR. If we could sneak in a couple of 4 star guys at skill positions, I'd be good with it. It'll be interesting to see where we end up after signing season.


Ill pass on 4 star skill players, seem to be bad luck

Look at our history with them.
 
How in the **** would you know? Did you predict a bowl game last season? Hell no you didnt.

I've come to the conclusion that your obviously a young fan looking for optimism about our program right now, which is fine.

But your also out of your f***ing mind...

Please stop comparing PR to KF, its a different culture and completely different program.

Bigger and better resources at EIU, KF had more resources than ISU does. So thats a horrible comparison.

Talking college football with you is like playing music chairs with a deaf person.
