Iowa -7 vs ISU

[Brandon]

So who college football, let alone the Big Ten West has developed more 2-3 star recruits into 1st Team All-Americans, National Award Winners and high level NFL draft picks?

A simple list will do each player for whoever you think is better. I will hang up and listen.

Not making a list but Wisconsin takes similar talent and owns the weak ass west.

Golf clap broh...so way hasn't all that individual success manifested in more wins and national championships? The way you talk Iowa is the best thing since sliced bread. You average 8 wins a year playing Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Purdue, Rutgers, and Maryland...6 out of your 8 wins...good job. But go ahead and crow about your individual success...it makes you feel better about yourself.

Iowa has played Maryland and Rutgers a combined 3 times in the KF/Doyle era.

No one in the business has developed more 2-3 star recruits into 1st Team All-Americans, National Award winners and high level NFL draft picks. Sure does trigger iSu fans.

Link?

Wisconsin does a great job no doubt, but their average recruiting ranking in the last five years is 38 while Iowa's is 49. Not a huge gap, but still a gap.

Plus Wisconsin has over 5 million people while Iowa is just over 3 million people. Add in that there is no other P5 college in the state whereas Iowa has two P5 schools, then Wisconsin actually has a pretty big advantage.

It's weird listening to Iowa fans talk about recruiting rankings. It's like half the time they matter and half the time they don't and "we can just plug in a 2 star kid for the high 3 star kid we just missed out on". Confusing

That gap is awfully small.

See post above. Prime example

I got the same feeling yesterday listening to you try and explain the quality depth that ISU has on the DL.

 

[iahawks]

It is a bigger gap than what separates Iowa and ISU.

 

[CyTwins]

It is a bigger gap than what separates Iowa and ISU.

So recruiting rankings do matter now?

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

One top 25 finish this decade warrants a raise IMO

Doyle was quoted saying "I'm so excited I could almost piss blood."

gap this year? or the last 5 years?

Splitting hairs. Between 20-50 is fairly much difference unless certain hok trolls want to argue otherwise when it doesn't fit their agenda.

True. ISU is only ahead of 5 spots ahead of Iowa now

Let me know when iSu can consistently win 8 games regardless of who they play.
