Iowa Football Recruiting

This isn’t true or correct cause Iowa has also been contacting Tyler Maro so they obviously have space for OL.

So your big example is someone who Iowa hasn't even offered? I mean JFC, of course Iowa still talks to kids, you never know if someone will decommitt. Staying in contact is not an offer, are you really so dumb that you don't understand this?
 
McCarron and Tevaun Smith for Iowa, Lazard for Iowa State. Pretty crazy - with how much we hear about how much better Iowa State is at developing NFL wide receivers, Iowa has had more over pretty much any recent time frame you want to reference, and they’ll likely be adding at least 1 more after this season, with Smith-Marsette projecting to be a day two pick.
Who is projecting Smith-Marsette to be a day two pick?

I’d be surprised if he was anything other than a 6 or 7th round flier.

CBS has him in the low 90’s on their big board, along with Alaric Jackson (20’s) and Tyler Linderbaum (also in the 90’s IIRC).
 
Other than this year as it sits right now, Nebraska has also been beating Iowa like a drum at recruiting and they haven’t been relevant in years....so not sure that’s a great measuring stick for you to use either

Do you actually believe the crap you make up?

So Nebraska has beaten ISU on 4 of its 6 commits, and has beaten Iowa on 1 out of 6 commits. Iowa on the other hand has beaten Nebraska on 8 of its 14 commits, and will likely get a commit for a kid out of Omaha.
 
It’s not worth reminding people this. I realize that what I said is exactly what happened but there were so many crazy theories about that recruitment on here I gave up trying.

You fought the good fight @Crookedhatkid , but Twins just has too much at stake with his troll of Twedt and Brock and offers and commitable offers, etc. Twins will never let those trolls be undermined.

I guess I still don’t see that as a recruiting win for Iowa since the ISU staff was pretty willing to let him go. Also Brock said that they still wanted him to visit so I don’t see how that is really that different than the Twedt situation.
 
Yeah. That is way too early to say. Jackson you could at least make a case for but Hockenson and Fant could easily become as valuable as their picks.
I thought Fant actually had a pretty good rookie season. Hock played really well early too but injury and concussion derailed his season. Hard to live up to your pick in Detroit to begin with but we'll see. Stupid to call him a bust.

Genuine non-troll question. Who would you take next year for more receiving yards/TDs? Butler and Lazard or Hock and Fant?

That's an extremely tough question. My head says Butler and Lazard, but my heart says the opposite. I would guess that Fant would lead all of them in total yards though. I think he is going to have a breakout year next year.

I don't see Twedt as a win over ISU either actually. Brock initially said that Iowa canceled the visit. Later he changed what he said. It was pretty common info on premium boards that the offer was no longer on the table as Goodson had committed, but was announcing that committment later.

It is what it is, ISU has beaten Iowa in recruiting many times, and will beat Iowa in the future many times, it just isn't correct to say Brock was a win over Iowa. That seems to offend many ISU fans, not sure why.

Hopkins ending up in Arizona def has a big impact on Butler. Unless there are injuries I think Butlers snaps are limited. I would expect a similar season from Lazard as last year. Fant probably leads all 4. So I'd probably say Fant and Hock by a couple hundred yards.
