Iowa Football Recruiting

Oh so you're the one moving the goal posts? Got it

So where does a player like Kolar fit who didn't have a P5 offer until 8 months after he committed?

I didn't move the goalpost, I started the discussion talking about kids with 0 P5 offers. I'm still talking about them, and now you again want to talk about a kid with a Oklahoma St. offer?
 
Do you agree that the Gophers had 2 bigger wins than any of yours? What was your biggest win? Texas?

Minnesota clearly had better wins than ISU, but their schedule was much weaker. 5 out of 5 BCS bowl metrics had ISU with the tougher schedule.

I asked a question to another poster on what position Campbell struggles to evaluate. You said all of them. There's no way you actually believe that

Try to keep up, we are talking about a class of kids that have 0 P5 offers. You said that you are ok with this class because CMC "evaluates talent". What do you mean by "evaluates talent"? I mean you can't be talking about when CMC wants a kid, but no other P5 schools do, because he struggles there. If other P5 coaches want a kid, then yeah CMC does ok with them.

So basically we need to wait until signing day to see if these kids get more offers? OK

Right now the 247 average rating is Paul Rhoads level, but I'm sure CMC can turn that around plenty of time left in recruiting. Heck getting Boillers alone would give you enough trolling material to get you through this poor recruiting class.

There's a lot of good prospects left on the board. Daine Hanson is someone who's not highly rated but our staff loves. I know Iowa is pushing hard after him though and we haven't had much luck head to head with you guys
 
He has 5 top 10 finishes in 21 years. Is that bad? Are there some down seasons? sure, but he has proven over his career that he can continue to bounce back from the down years. Again, Campbell is a good coach and has done a good job. You are fortunate to have him. He has a lot left to accomplish to have the type of career KF has had. He very well could do that. Your hope should be that he stays in Ames and accomplishes is there and not someplace else.
AGAIN, as i said in my original comment but apparently you can't read, no one is crapping on them being on average 7-5 to 8-4. But the average is what it is. It's people like you who want to throw "5 top 10 finishes" and act like the hawks are some powerhouse team who's a perennial top 10 team.
 
Wrong. Oladokun also posted offers from Indiana, North Carolina, and Duke on his twitter page that never got updated on 247. That makes 14 P5 offers other than Iowa, same as Iowa State’s entire recruiting class.

You going to apologize now for calling me names when I was right and you were wrong?
No. Because you're still wrong
 
How do the Hawk trolls feel about “cupcake” TCU having more 1st round picks than the Big 10 West?
I'll be honest, I lost a lot of sleep over it.

I'm assuming it's going to be miserable for you as well once the draft is done and most of the weak Big 10 West teams have more drafted players than ISU, right? Serisouly, who do you think you guys beat out?

Thanks for reminding me that we return so much and don't lose much to the draft

Campbell’s recruits have won & produced.

Rhoads recruits did not. End of story.
 
Kind of jealous, you guys seem to have this benefit pretty regularly.
I wonder why?

How am I wrong? Do some of Iowa State’s recruits have offers that weren’t updated on 247? Because that is the only way I would be wrong. Oladokun has 14 P5 offers, same as Iowa State’s entire recruiting class. I know you thought you had a gotcha moment with this one, so it’s probably going to be tough for you to admit you were wrong.
