Iowa Football Recruiting
- Thread starter CyTexMex
- Start date
Iowa ended up with a better class, not that team rankings mean all that much once you get outside the top 25.
By an insecure Iowa fan posing as an ISU fan. It keeps going due to Hawk fans going back and forth with ISU fans.
Not really, it is Iowa fans poking fun at the delusions of clone fans. You guys really work at your insecurities. Must be why isu is InSecurity University.
Doesn't matter really because as soon as 247 doesn't fit your argument you will change to anything else.
So if an instate Olineman picks ISU its that he just wants to Farm but if he chooses Iowa who has a sticker on its helmet that says ANF then he doesnt just want to farm? Got it.
Reality is about to set in for Iowa fball fans with where CMC is going to take this program..Might wanna cover your eyes.
Downing is the best lineman in the state, but not even close to one of the best on the country. If he were he would have programs like Nebraska, Michigan, MSU, and many others after him.
Will he develop into a great lineman? At Iowa more than likely yes he would. At ISU? Who knows it is yet to be seen.
No what he was saying is that no one would fault a kid for wanting to go to isu to further their ag career knowing they don't want to play in the NFL. If they are an Olineman and want to get to the NFL they are better off going to Iowa than isu. The results clearly speak for themselves. Has CMC had 2 Olineman win the Outland Trophy? Has CMC had multiple 1st round draft picks for the OL? Why would I cover my eyes from that?
Who cares? In the end you will fit it to narrowly suit a specific isu situation and ignore the rest. On field results matter not recruiting rankings.
247 has him as the 35th best OG. Being ranked in the top 50 of your position would be considered as one of the best in the country.
I'm asking you what your preferred recruiting site is. This has nothing to do with me. It's a very simple question
Not saying he isn't good. I'm saying he isn't Ross Pierschbacher who was one of the best in the country and had the offers to prove it. Downing is a regional recruit and even the big boys in the Midwest region haven't offered him. If he was as good as you think he is he would have interest/offers from
Nebraska, Michigan, MSU, Notre Dame, etc.
Don't take everything as a slight, he is good, just not some recognized national recruit is all.
I don't care about recruiting rankings regardless of site. I care about what actually occurs on the field. You seem to believe there is a direct correlation between the two. If it was as clear cut as you make it out to be, Texas and ND would never have worse seasons than Iowa and K-State.
