Iowa Football Recruiting
- Thread starter CyTexMex
- Start date
Purdy had two last year IIRC. A couple the year before that. Obviously Kempt had a big one
So you do care nobody wanted him? Got it
Also yeah Iowa fans don't want Stanley back
So was Koerner. GREAT discipline to just deflect that Purdy pass and not intercept it.
Yeah Stanley just needed to get a first down and out the game away but he choked like usual. No wonder you guys want him gone
Wait, what? He had offers from Michigan, Louisville and Oregon State to name a few. That said, similar to ISU's recruiting class this year, I don't get caught-up in who doesn't offer players that Iowa offers. I trust our coaches, just like you should trust Campbell. Pretty simple to understand.
Just a great job by Iowa defense and special teams at the end. Iowa can win a number of different ways. They're just built that way.
Yes a QB with a Michigan offer chose Oregon State instead. Lol no wonder you care so much
You're probably right. That sounds about as (but not quite as) ridiculous as a QB choosing ISU over Alabama...but the kid is from the West Coast. Let me see what I can dig up on his recruitment.
Alabama offered Purdy. Michigan didn't offer the Oregon State kid. Pretty big difference
Interesting. You just said last week that a Top 50 defense is a good defense. Nebraska was Top 50 overall in Sagarin, so by your own standards, it would appear that Nebraska was actually good last year.
I was actually just responding to your assertion that it was laughable for a recruit to choose Oregon State over Michigan and I was somewhat agreeing with you. That's similar (in my mind) to saying that a recruit would actually choose ISU over Alabama...keeping in mind the offer from Alabama wasn't as a preferred walk-on. But the more I looked into it - Oregon State's football history isn't nearly as devoid of significance as ISU's football history. I didn't realize they beat Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl (41-9) in 2000. Wasn't that the score of the ISU vs Notre Dame bowl game this past year.....only ND was obviously on the winning side of that game. LOL!
Long story short, I don't think it's as crazy as you might think for a recruit to choose Oregon State over Michigan.....especially if you do believe a recruit chose the Clones over Alabama. Anyway, I'm sure this will lead to some good discussion tomorrow comparing Oregon State's overall football success to ISU's overall football success. Have a good night!
