Iowa Football Recruiting

Look for Porter to either never contribute or drop football altogether and focus on track after a couple years. He's a straight line speed guy without any blocking ability, not a football player. Didn't even translate in high school.

Why did two Big Ten West programs want him if he's not a football player?
 
Link? He redshirted is all.

I don't have a link. I'm sure other Iowa fans on here can verify. I believe the spin is he took some time off to focus on academics which could be true. I honestly don't know just know he wasn't practicing with the team for a while

Teams take fliers on kids all of the time, but you don't know what you have until they're there. From what I've been told the kid is just not a football player, he's 6'4 and 165 lbs and shys away from contact. I tend to believe it considering he didn't even excel in high school.

Frost and CMC are not going to recruit a kid who sucks in high school and shys away from contact. Derp

What about his misses?
There have been some. We’ll see. That’s the thing...as with all recruits we’ll have to wait and see if they pan out.

I think the Scates kid was you guys highest ranked recruit last year and it’s up in the air whether he’ll ever contribute. Point being you never know with recruiting

If Scates can keep his head on straight he'll be a stud

What do you want links for? I can't provide it about Nixon but you'll see no Hawkeye fans are disagreeing with me since it was pretty widely known

It wasn't pretty widely known. One poster on the Iowa MB said he heard he wasn't practicing. That was all there was to it.
