Iowa Football Recruiting

I didn't say he took us to multiple, but i see how what i wrote could make it sound like that, shouldn't have added the s
Sending my thoughts and prayers to you today after Benji wrecked your dreams yesterday. Keep your head up Ames
I like how you have to move the timeline back and act like it was always the standard. Again, the standard was raised during the Hoiberg era and that standard is for what fans what in the NCAA tournament. As I mentioned before, judgment for what is a successful season can fluctuate based on conference tournament etc
Hoiberg had a lot of success at ISU no doubt and I'm sure ISU fans have got to be thinking what might have been had he stayed, similar to Iowa fans and Lute Olson back in the 80s.
But didn’t I just see that winning 8 games wasn’t considered a “decent season” by hawk fans? Apparently it’s the “standard” for Iowa football but when ISU (who we all know has been historically awful) wins 8 games, that’s laughed at and not considered a decent season..by some hawk fans.
so I guess would a “standard” season for Iowa be considered a decent season? I’m just trying to make sure the lines aren’t blurred here
I would say 8 wins is a decent season with anything over that being very happy and anything under it a disappointment.
You want to start crossing these guys off the list or you want to wait until they make it official?
If CMC drops the ball with Bollers, he might not get any of them.
I didn't set a timeline, just used the one that someone else posted and said outright I don't think what was being called a "standard" is really what either program realistically would consider their "standard". If you think the post-Hoiberg standard for ISU is now set at a sweet 16, I feel for you. Going to be a lot of sad March nights from here on out. I could put you in touch with some of the guys on HR that think Iowa should be playing in NY6 bowls every year. Might share some coping strategies or hotline numbers with you.
At least Prohm got to finish his season this past year, so he has that going for him.
What do you mean “drops the ball?” It’s not like Bollers grew up in a Cyclone family with a dad who played for Iowa State and he didn’t include ISU in his top 5. Or grew up an Iowa fan with family ties to Iowa and was basically a shoe-in to Iowa and Fran dropped the ball.
Also, what would Bollers not committing to ISU have to do with any of the other recruits listed? Lol they’re not anxiously awaiting his decision and if he decides Wisconsin, the other recruits aren’t gonna say “welp, ISU is out of the running for me because they couldn’t land this one guy”
Wait wait wait... I found the statistics from ESPN you were looking at. Let me show you and everyone how fair this is.
Iowa top-40 defenses: ISU, Mich, PSU, Northwestern, Wisconsin, Minnesota
Iowa State top-40 defenses: Iowa, Baylor, TCU, OU, Notre Dame
Goodson stats:
ISU - 3 carries, 16 yards
Mich - 6 carries, 15 yards
PSU - 8 carries, 35 yards
Northwestern - 11 carries, 58 yards
Wisconsin - 5 carries, 26 yards
Minnesota - 13 carries, 94 yards
ypc - 5.3
Hall stats:
Iowa - 1 carry, 0 yards
TCU - 1 carry, 2 yards
Baylor - DNP
OU - 18 carries, 110 yards
Notre Dame - 17 carries, 55 yards
ypc - 4.5
So let me get this straight.. You're basing your argument off the fact that Goodson averaged more ypc against quality defenses, when in all reality, Hall essentially did not play in 3 of the games. Seriously? Lol
Jaylin Noel has a couple of crystal balls to Nebraska the last 24 hours. If he commits to Nebraska, that should take a little of the sting off from losing Johnson to Iowa.
