Iowa Football Recruiting
- Thread starter CyTexMex

Toledo #1 > ISU #9
Maybe CMC recruited well at Toledo because it is a bigger brand than ISWho?
If you are a Toledo fan I'm sure your focus would be where you sit in your own conference compared to a team from a different conference.
Absolutely not Bama is a football school they're always going to recruit well.
I can't believe after like 5 weeks and 5 different reiterations of this he is still getting nibbles.
I'll admit, this is why he is a legend.
Basically they are going to recruit to their historical average and fill out their class with those kind of players. Iowa will also fill out their class to their historical average and probably finish in the 35-50 range again. Not hard to understand.

Yeah, not even sure why I engage with him anymore. But sometimes I can't resist. There is no way that even he can believe half the stuff that he spews on this board and I bet most ISU fans are embarrassed by his non-stop trolling ways.
Speaking of Bama I am surprised Slade Bolden hasn't received the "Bama bump" in recruiting rankings yet.
Guessing his Composite ends up over 0.900
Hard to call it the "Bama Bump", when all they do is win the hardest conference in country year in and year out and play in national championship. They have proven the players they get are the best of the best.
Iowa State is actually going to be okay. 16th nationally in attendance in basketball. Football attendance is approaching 60,000 average paid attendance. Quality academics. Large student enrollment. New facilities. Iowa State has come a long ways from the days of Clyde Williams Field and the Armory.
I actually couldn't disagree more. I think the no visit policy really is going to hurt Iowa moving forward. I would expect the 2019 class to fall apart before signing day as well as kids want to check out their options.
If Campbell can start squeezing out 6+ wins every year (tall task, I know), then we'll finally have some respectability in football. Unfortunately, we're still a long way from there.
Oh they have definitely proven they are the best.
But you can't deny that those types of ratings bumps happen when recruits choose blue bloods.
Had Bolden chosen TCU I doubt his rating would go to what it will at Alabama.
But for good reason. If you commit to Bama, then you must be one hell of a football player and why they usually get a bump.
ISU drew 52,500 last year, that was down 7% from 2015 and is approaching 50,000, not 60,000
Iowa State has a Kicker and a Punter included which brings down the average.
That's what happens when you replace Iowa with San Jose St.
You get a 51,000 attendance instead of 61,500.
Bet you that ISU averages closer to 60,000 average paid attendance this year rather than 50,000.
Even with an Iowa sellout last year, their attendance average would have only been like 54,000.
