Iowa Football Recruiting

That Texas played a much more difficult schedule both those years

What does it say about who was the better team?

So you think Iowa was better this last year but Texas was better the year prior?

No, I think Iowa was better both years.

 

[CyTwins]

No, I think Iowa was better both years.

Two years ago when Iowa finished 25th and Texas finished 9th and won the Sugar Bowl you think Iowa was better?

Correct

 

[CyTwins]

Correct

The year Iowa finished 3 games behind Northwestern in the West they were better than a top 10 team? Do you believe Northwestern was better than this top 10 team too? I'm curious how you're coming to this conclusion

I think the pressure of a prestigious University has gotten to him.

Hell Texas gave one of the best teams of all time all they could handle last year.

When the most respected computer ratings all agree on something, I tend to trust them.

Keep fighting the good fight. The Hawk trolls are so proud of you.

So there is a long list of schools that don’t contact both committed and non-committed recruits but it is super secret premium info?

Where did I call it this? Or are you saying having to pay for something makes it’s super secret?

So what's your preferred metric if you hate the AP poll?

 

[TheBear]

Where did I call it this? Or are you saying having to pay for something makes it’s super secret?

No I am saying there isn’t a single site that has what you are saying is premium content. So unless you are paying for every premium site in the country you could not possibly know the supposed long list of schools that no longer contact committed and non-committed recruits.

I love that clone fans main source of comfort comes from cherry picking one SOS metric while at the same refusing to acknowledge the ranking that drives it.

Why do you keep crying about schedule strength?

Link?

 

[TheBear]

Link?

Can’t link something that doesn’t exist. Which is the point.

Got a little inside info on Iowa's big board. Shockingly the resident hawk trolls were wrong and Iowa wants one more DE in his class. Priority listed below:

1. Daine Hanson
2. Austin Booker
3. Davon Townley if they miss on those two

Do you write for SNL thats some funny sh...

You realize it's true right?

I leave the crying about SOS to clone fans. It is nice knowing though that as soon as the first Sagarin SOS comes out the season can be cancelled. All debates are settled because we will know the Sagarin SOS metric and that is that counts. Wins, polls and Bowls don’t.

You sound angry that I continue to make you look like the idiot you are. I know you solely base your recruiting success on if you get a recruit that has an offer from Iowa State or Nebraska then say we wanted them badly but it never works the other way. But maybe if you read slowly you will see I NEVER mentioned individual recruiting battles because you were talking about overall recruiting success, which Nebraska has whipped Iowa’s A$$ for years

Uh may want to check that last statement they havent beaten Iowa in a LONG time sort of like another school we play.

CyTwins is a “friend of the family” for all current, past and future isu and Iowa recruits. In addition the Iowa coaches give him daily access to their recruiting board and then walk him through which kids they really want, want bad and then those they would if they had to.

it is quite remarkable really.
