Iowa Football Recruiting

Has Ferentz ran off enough players (what baby ferentz says they don't do)? I know someone said Iowa was at 89 at one point.

We are at 86 right now. That could dip to 85 depending on the Michael Lois situation.

I dont think anyone got run off.

Toren Young, Epenesa, Stone and Wirfs all moved on to play professionally.

Jeff Jenkins gave up football and is no longer enrolled at Iowa.

Ezra Miller had to give up football due to injuries but it still in school.

One of the verbals ended up not qualifying and he is headed to JUCO.

Fran signed a class of Dale Jones, Christian Williams, Ahmad Wagner, Isaiah Moss, Brandon Hutton and Andrew Fleming a year after he signed a class of Tre Dickerson, Dom Uhl and Brady Ellingson
Yeah, that kind of sucked

Set the table for the 2017 season.
 
I’m not.

Lock down a couple of local OL recruits they had highly evaluated, now they can take their time on other OL (out of state, etc.).
What Campbell probably has to do to start making the Iowa connections again. Offer a little earlier. Lock a few more down, worst case scenario, in-state guys who don't work out usually red-shirt first year anyhow, and graduate and leave early so you don't have the scholly tied up as long. If they do work, great.
 
What folks don't understand about the ISU offers is why and how they do it. They are offering kids early and often. ISU recognizes the talent and makes the offer before the big guys step in. If you are first, that can mean something to recruits. What was the first school Justin Fields committed to? Iowa State. Too many big dogs came in and swept him away but early recognition is a good thing. You can make those offers if you feel like Georgia or someone like that is going to come after your recruits.

I must have missed the day Justin Fields committed to Iowa State
