Iowa missing out on good RB's has crushed them in the past. Melvin Gordon, Eno, Higdon, etc
Oh come on, I am listing Iowa's strength from the Ferentz era and where they put guys into the NFL is all. All of that after a dig on Iowa WRs. ISU has the better WRs, we all know that. But at the same time, I think Iowa has had more NFL WRs than ISU has in the Ferentz era, at least that have made rosters. We have had guys make it to the NFL like Lazard has done.
I'm liking this class a lot. Three stud O-linemen, our next dynamic duo TEs, the top RB on our board, held off Georgia for QB Padilla, held off Buckeyes for Jacobs, couple of really good safeties. Going to be a lot of fun watching Jestin and Jayden McDonald from last year's class flying around the field at LB.
This may come as a surprise to you, but I care much more about how ISU players produce on the field while at ISU than they do in the NFL.
Don't get me wrong, I hope ISU players can make a good living in the NFL, but I am not an NFL fan (aside from fantasy football of course).
I can agree on Gordon. Eno was a better RB prospect than Brock was and had a good year on a .500 team. Higdon would have been behind Wadley or with him, which IMO is a wash. Wadley was good at Iowa.
Do you think Iowa wins 12 games with Eno this year or at least 10?
I am talking about recruiting, of course I care about the games on Saturdays. Recruits also like to try to play on Sundays
Why does ISU recruit WR better than Iowa if Iowa puts more WR in the NFl and that's what recruits care about?
Do I think an All American RB greatly improves a team that's stuck with 3 RB who have at least one major hole in their game? Yes, yes I do
Don't forget holding off Michigan for Goodson.
I honestly believe Eno would have flipped from Iowa at some point even if the scholarship wasn't pulled. Guess we will never know, but that was the vibe I was getting from him.
I think ISU did pretty decent too, I think Brock will be pretty good and play from day 1 for you guys.
Kid's highlight reel is filthy. Played against the biggest schools in Georgia and made those defenders look silly.
Is this serious? Iowa fans on here we're talking about how committed he was and he was the greatest recruiting asset up until his scholarship got pulled. I actually remember getting ridiculed by @Gonzo and others for saying he wasn't going to stay with Iowa
