He was recruited as an OL for Iowa, don't be dumb. So 8 players you get 1 hit and a couple maybe upperclassmen starters on an OL that won't be good? Yikes!

2 out of the 7 will be multi year starters and at least 1 more will start a year. 3 starters out of 2 classes and an early entry to the NFL draft is struggling?
Wow, you must hold KF in high regards to consider that a struggle.
Newborg was recruited as an OL and didn't switch to the DL until his second year in the program. That is a miss.
Like I said, you recruit 8 players and you only get 1 hit and a couple maybe upperclassmen starters on an OL that won't be good? Yikes!
1 guy (Daniels) was a home run, 1 other (Render) will be a multi year starter and 2 more will compete for starting spots next season.
2 out of the 7 will be multi year starters. 3 out of the 7 will start at least 1 full season and if Render wins the C job, 4 of the 7 may start at least one year.
Makes it even more impressive when you consider Waechter didnt last long in the program and had to leave football with injury issues.
Again, you must hold KF in pretty high regards to consider that a "rough stretch".
Why do you keep saying 7 when it was 8? Newborg was recruited as an OL and didn't switch to DL until his second year in the program. He could end up producing as aDL but that's still a OL recruiting miss
Ok, we can use 8. You originally stated it was 10, where did that number come from?
I just knew they had a lot of misses in those 2 classes so I guessed the number 10 without looking it up. The correct number was 8
When you recruit 8 players and you only get 1 hit and a couple maybe upperclassmen starters on an OL that won't be good that's bad for any program
If you're referring to Render I thought he was considered one of the weak links on the OL this last year
Well if you're a multi year starter and you aren't good I wouldn't say that's a hit. Type in Keegan Render on Twitter and it's all either Iowa fans saying he should be benched or media talking about how he got destroyed on a play
Just think, if Daniels wasnt good enough to turn pro as a 20 year old, those classes from the "rough stretch" would be responsible for 60% of the starting OL next year for Iowa.
That gets me excited since you said our d backfield would be bad this past season.
I think its way too early to make a definite proclamation one way or the other.
