Iowa Football Recruiting

Talking about how KF is now 12-0 going against CMC in recruiting for this class.

Aw got it. Forgot that's all that matters to Hawk fans, getting recruits that once had an ISU offer

it is May but over 770 kids have already committed to schools compared to under 350 at this point last year. Where will isu get all these magically ranked kids between now and signing day?

Like I stated earlier.... just shut the f'ck up! It's May and people like your really need to be committed....to a mental hospital that is.

So you prefer prospect A over prospect B?

Prospect A: 6'2" 288 Lbs and is rated 933 overall and the #48 DT who has offers from ISU, Akron, Kansas, Missouri State, Northern Illinois, Northern Iowa, South Dakota and Tulsa

Prospect B: 6'2" 255 Lbs and is rated 964 overall and the #51 DT who has offers from Iowa, Boston College, Bowling Green, Illinois, Iowa State, Michigan State, Mnnesota, MIssouri, Northern Illinois, Northwestern, Syracuse, Texas Tech, Toldedo and Wisconsin

Prospect A is now over 300 pounds of good weight and there is actually tape of him fighting off a true double team.

I'll take the higher rated, stronger Prospect A

No idea where you are getting those "ratings"
Brown is rated as a .8485 and Pittman is a .8477

Link?

He means rank, not rating.

Hokeye education right there.

Each prospects national ranking by 247's Composite, my mistake.

So safe to say you go more by rankings than offers, is that fair?

no, tape and fit over everything

no, tape and fit over everything

I would be interested to hear what your credentials are if you put much weight into your ability to evaluate tape.

 

[Brodie0]

You guys don't know how to read...

I never said "I don't like Jeremiah Pittman", I just said "He's meh". I like him, but he's not at the caliber of Howard Brown.

Plus, He plays for Viator

If you are “meh” on Pittman, there are obviously things you don’t like about him. What are those things?

And you’re right, he’s definitely a different caliber recruit than Howard Brown. Pittman has a bunch of P5 offers and Brown doesn’t.

 

[Gonzo]

Well that makes things convenient.

So what do you see in Pittman’s tape that makes you think he is “meh”?

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

You're so clueless it honestly hurts my brain talking to you. You still didn't even answer my question

Thank you.. No your last two classes definitely had some talent. Average rating got drug down a bit by some flyers/projects and a long snapper.

2021 class is a stinker so far. I would take Freyler, Brown and Army for sure. But theres probably 10 commits from your last two classes that I'd put above any of the three.

Now you can answer my question - who are they going to get that's any good?

This has to be my favorite excuse from ISU fans. ISU offered the recruit (and in some cases took their commitment) but they no longer had a commitable offer or ISU didn't really want him when they committed to Iowa.

I don't see him fighting off true double teams to stuff the run. True double teams meaning two guys blocking him at the same time.

He moves pretty well now. But how will he move when you fill him with 50 more pounds. How much will that affect his burst? That's very important for a DT. He's a big kid already, 50 pounds is quite a bit.

He doesn’t need to put on another 50 pounds. If the 255 is legit, he only needs another 25 pounds or so to play DT in Iowa’s scheme.

You obviously haven't seen biglow's tape. He's my favorite.
