Iowa Football Recruiting

[JohnnyHopkins]

I’m sure you were on here 8 usernames ago talking about how Montgomery, Rose, Kolar, Newell, Hummel, Vance, Shaw, etc were part of these terrible classes but it’s all just wishful thinking.

You do realize that about half of those guys were rated higher than your entire '21 class right?

I would agree with this, but for 3 big exceptions. Twins, adjl and cyclone4l lie all the time on here. I used to call it a "troll", but I'm just gonna call it what it is now.

What have I lied about? I've been on this board for like 5 minutes.

Common man. You are trying to paint a kid with a single offer (from KU or NC State or Louisville) as the same as kids with multiple P5 offers?

What’s worse, that, or a message board troll trying to work every angle/moved goalpost he can to downplay an rivals recruiting class (not to mention on the rivals message board).

Which is it, P5 offers or ratings?

The goalposts have moved so many times I am losing track.

When these kids with zero/few P5 offers stop pumping out all-conference seasons or only win 3-4 games I’ll be concerned.

Hawk fans love to forget how it took Ferentz 5 tries to finally beat ISU as well

While true KF also had an 11 win top ten season in year four. Won national coach of the year, had the AP Player of the year, a Heisman runner up and several national award winners.

CMC in year 4 went 7-6.

I really don't understand what these hok posters are looking for? I almost feel sorry for them. I truly think they are just jealous that we are building something exciting here and they are stuck in the mud.

Against one of the more difficult schedules in the country. Not bad considering where we have been.

 

[iahawks]

Iowa isn't going to take another DE! Lol

12-0 on the recruiting trail. If 2015 repeats itself, ISU should be able to snag the next two.

I don’t think clone fans are lying, I think it is just embedded in their culture to make excuses for why the greatest coach in isu history still can’t get out from under Iowa’s shadow.

I mean seriously, what else can clone fans do, admit CMC isn’t as awesome as they hope and pray he is?

We were a doormat in college football for years and now we have a coach that has recruits want to come to Ames, we have been to 3 good bowl games in a row, and have been in and out of the top-25 the last 3 years. Taking into context our history.. yeah, CMC is pretty awesome and you trying to diminish that is stupid.

And sure, we would absolutely love to beat Iowa, but Iowa hasn't exactly been a terrible team since Campbell has been here. They've been very solid and we've come incredibly close a few times. Quit acting like you're blowing Iowa State out of the water. Iowa's been winning by a thread and who knows, this may be the year where we finally pull through. I sure hope so because maybe it'll cause some of the unbearable Iowa fans on an Iowa State website to hang up the keyboard.

According to clone gospel Sagarin isu goes 7-6 with Iowa’s schedule from last year losing to Iowa, Penn State, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and USC. Conversely Iowa goes 10-3 with isu’s schedule losing to OU, Baylor and ND.

Sagarin doesn't take into account that the TOE has the worst OC in college football. No way they could score enough points to keep up in the Big 12.

Both show how bad of a class it is for CMC.

It's not my gospel. But whatever helps you sleep at night bud.

If you keep wishing your little heart out, that might just come true.

I am not diminishing anything. I get that because of isu’s history CMC is seen as the savior. Maybe clone fans should wait to run smack against Iowa until he actually makes isu better than Iowa. I don’t get the fascination from clone fans to claim superiority when nothing close to it actually exists.

Hold on you think those are as good as these?

Miller (Nebraska and lots of offers)
McDonald (Iowa, Minnesota, Purdue, Wisconsin)
Pauls (Iowa, KState, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ok state)
Dekkers (K State, Purdue)
Rengert (Rutgers, Pitt, Virginia, WVU)
Wilson (Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri)
Hutchinson (Nebraska, Illinois, Oklahoma)

I mean the worst offer lists of the '20 guys is better than all but one of this years

So if ISU’s class ends with say 11 of the 20 signees holding only one or 0 other power 5 offers you would deem that as a bad class?
