Also- would anyone be surprised if Kempt isn’t even the starting QB come November? The schedule seems to set up perfectly for the annual Iowa State QB switcheroo- Kempt struggles against a tough schedule and gets benched just in time for Noland to take on the easy portion and sneak Iowa State to six wins. Then we get to spend all offseason talking about how good Noland is, and how next year is the year- until Noland is invariably replaced halfway through next season by Mitchell.
So no Hawk fans are willing to actually address my question beyond saying the line was “inconsistent.”
Not that I’m surprised of course.

Wisconsin is better and I’d definitely put Alabama and Notre Dame in front of Iowa. USC, Michigan, OU all come to mind for good line schools, not sure if any of those are better off hand.
Kempt snuck in for the easy portion of Iowa State's schedule last year?
Wirfs and Foster were top 350 recruits. Jackson wasn't even top 600!
All 3 struggled last year and have high ceilings IMO
Foster has lead feet and has a lot of work to do on his body. It’s telling that a “top 350” recruit like Foster was choosing between Purdue and Iowa State a month before signing day, while Iowa had to fend off Michigan and Michigan State for Jackson.
Foster was a top 350 recruit and ranked similar to Wirfs. Jackson wasn't top 600. Those are facts. Plus Jackson obviously has some character issues on top of that
Foster begged Iowa to take him and Iowa said “thanks, but no thanks”. That’s also a fact.
Says benji about every ISU recruit.
Foster doesn't have lead feet, was a RS Freshman, and is 6'8 312.
Not a lot of fact in what you posted.
It was widely discussed at the time. You’d have to go back and search for it. Foster was an Iowa legacy recruit and went to an Iowa camp, but they didn’t like him enough to offer. The staff thought his feet were slow and he wasn’t athletic enough for Iowa’s zone blocking scheme.
