Ryan Boyle

[Section110]

First and foremost, please notice that I've posted this thread in the Rivals forum so it's entirely appropriate.

Been watching the televised games for the high school football playoffs. I've watched a few of Dowling's games now and admittedly this has been the first times I've seen Boyle play. Why the heck didn't Rhoads go after him? This year Dowling has broken the single season scoring record in Iowa high school football history by 40 points. They could possibly win back to back state championships with him at the helm. I fully understand this is Iowa high school football, but you can't blame the level of competition on him. He would have had to move out of state in order to play better caliber players and that's just ridiculous. He's as impressive as you can be at this level of football. Whether he ends up at QB or not remains to be seen, but he's got a ton of potential no matter how you slice it and I have no clue why a program just a few miles down the road from where he grew up wouldn't be selling him on playing football at their school. Especially a program who can clearly use athletes of his caliber.

When I saw the thread was started by Section110:

Probably will be a decent player in the B1G, would get destroyed in the Big 12 though

 

[chuckd4735]

Pretty sure CPR did go after him. From what I have heard, it has been pretty obvious from the start he was going to Iowa, so I doubt ISU put too much into him.

 

[ISU42]

Pretty sure CPR did.

 

[jcisuclones]

Pretty good quarterback, Really good athlete. I don't see him playing quarterback at Iowa, however, on account of the other QBs they brought in.

Mangino sat with his at bball game. The following week, he committed to Iowa.

lolwut. If anything he's more of an athletic, big 12 type of quarterback. But don't let that get in the way of your fantasies.

He won't play QB at Iowa. At least not like he does at Dowling. The two offenses are completely different.m

They'll do what they usually do with mobile QB guys... Give them a shot to play QB while they redshirt, move them going into their RS Freshman year.

Are you suggesting that ISU did not recruit him?

 

[ISUCubswin]

I've seen him 3 times and I'm not impressed.

Very fast kid. Could definitely be something other than QB. But anyone can just throw the ball in the air and have those fast Dowling receivers catch it.* He consistently under and over throws receivers.

*not saying Dowling receivers are NCAA quality, they're just faster than most dbacks in Iowa.

Give me Lanning any day of the week

 

[Luth4Cy]

Sounds like Iowa State recruited him, but didn't offer him. Also, Rhoads has said he wanted one QB for a class. CPR may have already had what he wanted.

I can just judge by your username and avatar that you aren't to up on what's going on in the BoneG right now.

Bro your username is RoseBowlBound.

That's fine but that's not what you said. I doubt Boyle plays quarterback at Iowa anyway.

 

[weR138]

Also, I 'm a bit confused by the question...

You clearly have a major league boner for this boy so what does it matter if ISU recruited him or not? If you're obsessed that others want what you have you might be a 12 year old girl. Wait, are you a 12 year old girl?
