Iowa Football Recruiting

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).

You don’t like the NFL? Why?
 
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

I remember that. Shame he had his dreams crushed and had his offer pulled. Pretty sure you were saying he was going to flip though, obviously that didn't happen.
 
Why does ISU recruit WR better than Iowa if Iowa puts more WR in the NFl and that's what recruits care about?

It is the offensive system right now. That is what will put ISU wrs in the NFL soon too. Butler is going to be a good NFL player. Not sure who the next one is, but it will happen again soon with the recruits you are pulling in.

Iowa is a good system for OL, TE, DL, LB, DB to get to the NFL. WR.... not so much but some have done it, just not consistently stuck on NFL rosters. If that changes then Iowa will also get those guys a chance too. Which is why most spread WRs are getting looks by NFL teams, which proves my point in what I am saying about recruits and the NFL.

Then why is KF's career winning percentage at Iowa less than 60%?
 
KF really screwed that one up didn't he?

I wasn't happy at all when we pulled the offer. Gotta be honest. But things happen for a reason. Definitely rooting for Eno given what he had to go through. And who knew Mekhi would be the stud he is so early in his career.

Lol if Goodson isn't your bellcow RB next year you guys are in trouble again at that position. Sargent has no burst from what I saw of him and that's not trolling

Yeah not sure what @iahawks is saying he was going to flip if his offer wasn't pulled

Just cause he was still going and or trying to go on a lot of visits. There was still a lot of time between him committing and signing day. I just feel he would have eventually decommitted on his own. Just one man's opinion.
 
Josey Jewell got trucked at the goal line, Josh Jackson got his ankles broken, etc. Judging a player off one game or one play is dumb

Yeah but it's fun. Sargent had 900 yards, 10 TDs and averaged more YPC than Montgomery on the season while splitting time with two other RBs and playing B1G defenses. I'll take that, especially from a soph.

Sargent is a very tough runner. Seems like he usually gets those extra yards after contact.

Iowa's class is probably pretty full at the moment. I'm sure they will add a few other players between now and the spring signing day. They will probably lose a few other guys from their current roster to free up a couple of places.

Is ISU pretty much in the same boat? Looking to add anyone else?

I believe ISU will be probably adding another WR, DB, LB, & DL some time in January.
