Iowa Football Recruiting

And here we go again, comparing a 20 year veteran coach who started at a prolific school, to an 8 year combined coach who came into an absolute dumpster fire lol.

Ok then let’s how just compare the players each coach developed in the same time frame then. KF has still outperformed CMC with the players he developed in his first four years as compared to Campbell.
 
I think we will be favored in 8 games. We will be underdogs at OSU, at PSU, at Minnesota and home against Wisconsin.

Hoping we get to 7-5 at worst.
Yep agreed. I have Iowa losing those games then honestly I think its a toss up and they lose at least one if not more between ISU, Purdue, and NW (always is a tough game for Iowa for some reason). I can realistically see ISU stealing one and NW making a big jump back
 
Average score is the average composite score of all committed recruits. So it gives a good indicator of where teams are sitting compared to other teams. Not sure what point you’re trying to make.

ISU is more likely to end up 60th than they are 32nd. This is a bad class so far for CMC
It’s really not though.
 
ISU's 2019 class with two 4* RBs and an avg. rating of 85.33 came in at #46. How on earth do you figure this year's class with zero 4* kids and a current avg. of 84.01 coming in at #32?
The same season the DM Register and the Iowa fan base is asking the question if they can finish in the top 10. Lots of hope.

But 247 doesn't currently rank them by average now do they, just total number of points. Rank them by average, Iowa quickly drops down from 10th.

I said its a good way to rank the class at the end of the recruiting cycle, but not now.
 
Sometimes you have seasons where every little thing works out in your favor. Call it luck, call it being at the right place at the right time, whatever, it doesn't matter. The same thing basically happened with Baylor all of last year too. Fleck and Minnesota had a tremendous year last year, but we'll have to wait and see if he can replicate or at least come close to replicating it. And yeah, I don't see PJ sticking there for very long either.

Iowa's 2015 season is a great example of this and I loved every minute of it. Well maybe not the last two games.
 
I love how all the kids who don’t want to play for Iowa have an “attitude problem”.

You are right and rereading my post it wasn't fair to Bollers. I shouldn't have implied that he has an ego problem since I have no idea if he does or doesn't. I do think he will be a great addition to ISU's class.

I was trying to say that some close to him appear to have let ego get involved.

You'll go better than 7-5. Sconnie lost their bell cow and your new QB is better than Jared Goff, so pencil that in as a dubya.

Question for the board in this thread. There’s talk about a conference +1 for the schedule this year. Who does Iowa and ISU take as their +1? I think Iowa would be fine with keeping ISU. That gives them five home games. ISU already has five home games. Will they be willing to forgo a sixth home game to keep the rivalry game? I don’t think ISU gets anything financially from the Iowa game when it is away. It would be a bunch of money list if they stay at five home games.
