Iowa Football Recruiting
- Thread starter CyTexMex
- Start date
At this current moment, I don't think any of them see significant time enough to warrant getting their redshirt burnt. Guys who I think will for sure get used for the 4 games include: Howard Brown, Noah Biglow, Aiden Ralph, and MAYBE Dion Silas
I actually think Silas might be the most likely to burn his shirt as a KR/PR
What are you going to say when the big 10 west falls back to being garbage like it has since 2011?
I thought that too but then thought we might use darien porter also. Hard to tell
What are you going to say when Texas and TCU go back to the days of curb stomping you?
2021 Recruits with ISU and Iowa offers
...Committed...
Connor Colby: Iowa
Griffin Liddle: Iowa
Jeff Bowie: Iowa
Max LlLewellyn: Iowa
Zach Twedt: Iowa
David Davidkov: Iowa
Beau Stephens: Iowa
Arland Bruce: Iowa
...In play...
Thomas Fidone: Iowa in top 6, ISU eliminated
TJ Bollers: ISU in top 6, Iowa eliminated
Brody Brecht: Down to ISU & Iowa. Rumored to be about to verbal to Iowa
Jaylin Noel: ISU in top 2, Iowa eliminated
Keagan Johnson: Iowa in top 3, ISU eliminated
Ricky Parks: Iowa in top 5, ISU eliminated
(I'm sure I missed a couple, but I was only including recruits that sound like they have a decent chance to end up at ISU or Iowa)
I get Iowa being favored on average with linemen given their track record with those positions, but ISU isn't even competitive this year? And what about the WRs!? Winning some (not all, but some) recruiting battles against Iowa is pretty important given how often they happen. Just off the top, Breece Hall and Trevor Downing were recent recruiting wins against Iowa and are already two of the best players on offense. Bollers and Noel would go a long way towards making things better this year, and the in-state class is deep so there's still solid local talent coming ISU's way.
Still though... how is this not cause for concern?

Actually he’d only be a Redshirt Sophomore at Bama this year had he gone there, so not really.
Who was the last good Bama QB that made it in the NFL?????? Namath and Stabler back in the 60s/70s?
We don't compare ourselves to little bro. We're trying to beat out some big dogs for recruits not a middle of the pack Big Ten West team
That is kinda ****** too. Like I really didn't mean to ask you out on a date but since I did let's go, I guess. LOL.
Yeah and to me as a QB, Bama is no NFL launch pad if that is what he is after. At least has not been. Maybe Tua changes that.
It is a concern. Anyone who tells you it's not because of how well we're recruiting out of state is wrong. Sure Iowa may not produce a ton of P5 kids but traditionally the easiest recruits to get are the ones within your own borders so it's important in years like this where there's something crazy like 17 kids in the state with a P5 offer that we get those kids. Just think how much better the program would be if we could consistently land kids like Colby, Logan Jones, Hockenson, etc.
Iowa has taken down Ohio State, LSU, Michigan and Penn State for recruits. Best move would be for isu to stay in the shallow end of the pool and battle it out with Southern Alabama.
