Iowa Football Recruiting

Kempt was good but I think Stanley was better. Like you said, two NFL WRs helped Kempt and Iowa underutilizing Fant hurt Stanley. I think it’s fair to say that the defenses Stanley played were a little tougher too, while Kempt’s sample size of games wasn’t big enough imo.
Kempt's lack of sample size was the sole reason for not playing good defenses. He did beat a phenomenal defense in TCU, but that was one game. I will not, however, act like Stanley beat a ton of great defenses. He beat tOSU which was no doubt a good team with a good defense, but let's not act like Nate was dicing up Michigan and Penn State night in and night out.

He beat a really good Miss St. defense too.
 
If I had to rank QBS in the Ferentz era with ISU QBs I would rank them like this:

1A) Banks (IA)
1B) Wallace (ISU)
2) Drew Tate (IA)
3) Brock Purdy (ISU)
4) Stanzi (IA)
5) CJ Beathard (IA)

Purdy has a shot to overtake Tate with a strong year next year.
Purdy’s over Tate. If Stanzi wasn’t a turnover machine then he’s in front of Purdy and Tate imo, but that was a huge problem in his game, that’s for sure.

Outside of being a die hard Iowa fan, I have no idea how you have this take. Brock is better in every single statistical category, took his team to a conference title, and won a NY6 game.
 
ISU has one good QB since Wallace and you guys don’t know how to act. Relax lol.

That's just ridiculous. They might not have had any pros, but Brett Meyer and Austin Arnaud were pretty good. I think that they both were in NFL camps for a short time. Sam Richardson was a pretty good QB before getting beat up because of poor protection.

As far as Dekkers, yeah, he was a small school QB. But he also did really well in the Elite 11 regional and damn near made the final. It's not like he is a complete unknown.

Sorry, but Brad Banks hardly even deserves to be on this list. He had one really good season behind the best OL in the country with some decent WRs, a good RB and an elite TE. He just did not have to do very much. Teams were so scared of that running game that all he did was toss it to open guys on play action. Even taking out the ISU guys, I would take Beathard, Stanzi and Tate any day of the week over Banks.
 
Here's the question....

Who is HOK going to recruit to stop Quaron Adams?
Iowa’s secondary hasn’t had issues in a long time, they’ll be alright. If Adams fills out really well there might not be anybody that can stop him though lol
