Iowa Football Recruiting

we all know how that was. I am comparing the now. Which is actually relevant.
So starting at the beginning of last year then, going forward? I think you would agree basing a coaches success in years 1 (and even 2 sometimes) is not a good representation. including a year where you are essentially picking up the pieces of a program in shambles isn't fair. Whether it be CMC or Kirk for his first year.

Some people here think I am one of those guys, but no dice guys. I am a one and only.
I'm not one of those people. I think you are reasonable poster and although I disagree with some of your takes or opinions, I have at least seen you try to have informative/civil conversations about things that are interesting to both sides.

I can agree on that, but saying the hype train is way higher on ISU than Iowa is a little misguided. When you look at preseason predictions and publications. Both teams are getting noticed and recognized. Not just ISU.
 
No it wasn't you. I believe it was YeahBuddy or iahawks or someone. I was just more asking the question in general because those recruiting class rankings reminded me of it lol

Please don't put me and Yeahbuddy in the same sentence.

I never made that prediction.

I think the difference is, in those publications/predictions its more of a ho-hum, Iowa is back in the bottom half of the 25. where as ISUs are more like "I know, you're as shocked as I am that I'm writing this" stuff. The verbage is a little bit more welcome to "hype" than Iowa just being Iowa again. If that makes sense.

Hard not to when you are/were both Hawk trolls on an Cyclone board. Sorry, just calling a spade a spade here. I guess you are guilty by association.

I'm insulted that you think I'm the same as Yeahbuddy. I've been on this board for 7 years on my same username.

Not insulting you but since both of you are/were hawk trolls on a Cyclone site, buddy had given the rest of you a bad rep.
 
Ferentz vs Campbell in recruiting since 2016 using 247

average class rank for Ferentz 42, Campell 52

Average finish in the big 12 for Campbell, 7/10

Average finish in the big 10 for Ferentz. 8.5/14

So if ISU was in the big 10 they would be right around 10 or 11 in the big 10 annually under Campbell.

I'd rather finish 7th in a conference than average worse than 8th. Yikes
