Iowa Football Recruiting

And a lot of them weren't. JFC you guys sure know how to beat a horse to death.
That's a fact actually. McNutt, Scherff, Shonn Greene, Edds, Morris, Kirksey and King were better recruits than Smith
Offers bud. Offers. Look at McNutt for example...Nebraska, Wisconsin, Kansas State, Missouri, etc. He was a very good recruit
I will give you this. Out of all the positions WR has been lacking the most. They did great converting McNutt from a QB to a WR and also did great with Martin-Manley, Hinkle, Vandeberg and Maurice Brown and probably a few others. Hopefully Smith can progress as well.
Desmond King had a lower composite and also had only one other power 5 offer in Indiana. He's the only one I looked up. http://247sports.com/Recruitment/Desmond-King-14466/RecruitInterests
247 wasn't very good 4 years ago. King had an offer from Wisconsin but you already knew that
Maybe the new WR coach will be able to spot guys better and get them better than others. That WR coach at Nebraska, even thought he has like 3 DUIs. is killing it on the recruiting trail which I can't quite understand.
Has never been Iowa's stongsuit for various reasons. Even Hayden had trouble getting athletes on the outside regularly. Hell the '85 team had Happle and Helverson at wideout.
First I heard or seen that actually. Still doesn't change the facts that he was a lower rated recruit than Smith.
No he wasn't, he was 5.6 on rivals and Smith was 5.5 and King had better offers
Going by 24/7 composite he is lower, but I will give you that King was "slightly better" than Smith on rivals if that helps you sleep at night.
