That's depressing. However if us Iowa State fans are going to talk s*** about Iowa's lack of NBA guys, then we should be able to take the s*** back pertaining to the NFL draft. Lol
Iowa Football Recruiting
- Thread starter CyTexMex
- Start date
Unfortunate
Unfortunately, most of the current commits have no other P5 offers. You can brag about his recruiting, but I think CMC is having a real problem recruiting this year. If he doesn’t get Bollers there’s a real concern with his recruiting.
I will tell you exactly what happened with Twedt, and I know for a fact you could ask him and he would tell you. ISU offered after his Sophomore year but he committed much sooner than the staff expected. The staff wasn’t sold on his junior year film, however they would have accepted his commitment out of respect for him and his family. When the period that you could contact class of 2021 recruits came ISU had no intention of actually spending resources or time recruiting him. He didn’t appreciate that obviously and decommitted from ISU and committed to Iowa who was actually actively recruiting him. So he didn’t actually get his scholly pulled by Campbell, they would have taken him with the expectation of getting nothing more than a special teams player out of him.
Iowa has had good QB's over the past few years that all play in a pro-style offense and throughout their careers have had above average to good seasons. None have been world beaters but they all fit a mold of QB the NFL is looking for.
Your trolling is entertaining, but when you have to lie, it’s not quite as entertaining.
Ok, so Iowa has had as many starting qbs drafted as ISU players in the last six drafts.
Iowa State absolutely pulled Twedt's offer. He had to pay for tickets to Iowa State games when he was still "committed" lol
We'll see how the pro style lasts though. A lot of teams are looking at the Chiefs and Ravens with mobile QBs, and I'll admit when I'm wrong-I didn't think Murray/Kliff would make it, but they've had a solid off season with what I thought was a decent first year.
He committed in June, 2019, before camps, etc. He’s easily a four star recruit and CMC would love to have him.
Nobody from ISU ever contacted him to tell him he didn’t have an offer. I know for a fact they would have reluctantly accepted his commitment.
Don't think that's the right year, you must be thinking about 2017 with Epenesa, Wiffs, Stone, etc. I think they ended up doing pretty well that year.
Looking back on those Texas recruts
Eno Benjamin - Ended up a 7th rd pick, pretty good RB. Would have been nice.
Chevin Calloway - Bounced from Arkansas to SMU, looks like he's barely playing for them. I'll live.
Gavin Holmes - Has a total of 133 yards through 3 seasons, mostly injured. I'll live.
Beau Corrales - Played quite a bit for UNC, nothing spectacular. Would make a nice backup to Smith.
Those Texas guys sure don't look all that impressive looking back. Eno would have been nice to have and feel bad for the kid missing out playing for the school he really wanted to. Just didn't work out.
They made him pay for football tickets to go to a game. Sorry if the kid couldn't figure out what was going on lol
