That's nothing like him telling me 3 completely different things about someone's playing time
I meant to say he essentially only played six games, but forgot to put that qualifier in. That’s my fault. He didn’t play that much the first half of the season because he was still learning the playbook, so he was used solely as a blocking TE. Iowa didn’t use that position much last year because they had good wide receivers - that doesn’t mean LaPorta wasn’t an effective blocker when he did play. As he gained familiarity with the playbook, he began to see his role in the offense expand. Not uncommon for a true freshman (one need look no further than his fellow true freshman teammate, Tyler Goodson). By the end of the season, he had a good enough season that he would have easily made HM All-Big XII as a TE. Not that difficult to understand.
He won so many games, they jumped him up. If you are only winning 7 games in the Big10, that typically doesn't cut it at the QB position.
I know I have tried to explain it to you about 10 times. He was a Fr. just on campus, it takes time as Purdy knows. Even a horrible QB like Zed Nolan was in front of him for half a season.
He just admitted he was wrong. You're so bad at the. Pick and choose your battles man
At least now you understand that LaPorta would have pretty easily made HM Big XII. Glad I could clear that up for you.
“Not true at all lol. You can be more talented as a freshmen than the people above you, but if you don’t know the plays/playbook cause you’re new, how can they play you. Don’t be dumb.”
I get your point, but don’t pretend a freshman TE learning a new playbook is remotely close to a freshman QB.
It’s not the same, but it is similar to a lesser degree. Iowa asks a lot of its tight ends. The fact that LaPorta didn’t play that much until later in the season isn’t an indictment on his abilities, it’s the simple reality that it’s hard to play TE at Iowa as a true freshman - especially for someone who didn’t even play the position in high school.
Sounds like Keagan Johnson and still possibly Skyler Bell at WR this month.
One of Joe Alt or Myslinki to finish off at OL. Alt wants to take more visits. Not sure if there will be a spot for him if Myslinki jumps on board.
Going after Austin Booker and Jeremiah Pittman on the DL. Would like to get 1 of these guys
Fidone is a coin toss Between Iowa and Nebraska right now.
Things looking decent with Ricky Parks at RB.
Class is going to be insane!
