Iowa Football Recruiting

Hard to buy this argument applying to ISU specifically after watching them struggle with Drake, Akron, UNI, throw a winnable home game vs Iowa, and pull a complete no-show vs Notre Dame. Thank God Campbell let Purdy rack up video game numbers vs ULM - because outside of that, ISU vs any non Big 12 team has been a disaster the last 2 years.

So I guess your conference SOS point is that Oklahoma and Baylor are good football teams? Congrats.

Iowa State was a disaster in 3 wins and the bowl game vs Washington State? I've heard it all lol

The Drake game was nearly a Florida A & M level disaster.
 
I'm struggling? You said it was easier to be on an All Conference team in the Big 12 than the Big Ten

All Conference spots last year

Big 12 - 55
Big Ten - 135

Who's struggling here? Lol

You didn't agree with this angle as it pertains to basketball. 26 players in the Big 12 were named to one of the 3 all conference teams or honorable mention. Only 20 players make all conference in the Big 10 with more players in the pool. That didn't stop you from claiming that it was some great honor to be honorable mention in the Big 12 even though it's much easier to make all conference in the Big 12.
 
But our conference schedule was harder than yours...

Clone fans take great pride in having numerous teams on their schedule that are better than isu. In fact they are “so proud” of it that they post about it each and every day.

So you're saying it's easier to be All Conference in the Big 12 in basketball but much easier to be All Conference in the Big Ten in football?

If you are just playing the numbers that is accurate. You were adamant that that is not the case for basketball though. Of course you aren't factoring in talent which, based on NFL draft picks, the Big 10 has more top end talent.

I can agree with you it's easier to make an All Conference team in the Big 12 for basketball and significantly easier to make an All Conference team in football in the Big Ten
 
Was letting @CyTwins know because he's an avid follower of PFF. Do you know who the dudes in the interior of Iowa State's line others are talking about?

Enyi, Bailey, Lee, Robertson, Bankston, Singleton

I’m confident ISU will find at least 1-2 guys out of that mix to play the one DT spot.
Who? Who? Who? and Who?
Not sure why you are saying who as Lee and Robertson both played lol

Your fixation boils down to honorable mention. There are far too many players listed as honorable mention players than there should be. As I pointed out in basketball, it takes away from the prestige of the award when half the conference gets recognized.

There are 135 spots to be on the Big Ten All Conference team in football and that's NOT including Honorable Mention. That's just insane. 135!!

How is that not including honorable mention? There are 3 all Big Ten teams with 22 on each team.
