FWIW 247 has ISU with better recruiting classes than Iowa the last 5 years....how’s that been working out for you guys?
The Fran fade
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
That’s not the point. Iowa’s last 3 recruiting classes has left them without a good future.
I know people hate this because this site was made for dumb arguments, but Iowa State football and Iowa basketball are similar in that they have some awesome pieces on their roster and next year will look completely different with a lot of those important pieces being gone.
Will either team suck? Well that's objective because outside of Fran's first years trying to build up the program and the '17-'18 season, his teams haven't sucked. Outside of Campbell's first year, his teams haven't sucked.
So it's doubtful either team will be truly bad. I don't think Iowa is going to all of a sudden have a 2-20 season like Iowa State is having and I doubt Iowa State football is going to fall off the face of the earth. Most likely, Iowa will be a bubble team and Iowa State will be a 7 win type team. WHICH IS FINE.

I personally didn't anticipate THT to be one and done, Halli to be 1.5 and done, I expected Wigs to leave early (he was injured a fair amount as well), I expected more out of Conditt and Griffin, who knows about Anderson and Leech (appear to be duds), Grill transferred IMO because of how his injury was handled, Cam smoked too much with a bad attitude, Solomon basically missed a year to injuries. Foster has barely played. Hinson didn't get his waiver.
Quite a smoldering show or every thing that could go bad did, and I know I'm missing more.
What would you say Iowa’s trajectory is after they lose 3 key pieces and like 85% of their production?
Also, I’m curious if you would agree ISU’s football trajectory is much much higher than Iowa’s right now?
Nickel doesn't even have a crystal ball up Iowa which every player that Iowa offers gets
I have to post like that from time to time. Feels like it helps people take a breath for a second before going back into the ring.
I do too. Just depends on who I'm directing it towards sometimes. Some just take this crap too seriously.
He is an Iowa lean. His dad really likes the Hawks, and so does Nickel.
Kind of tough to say that, considering they are on a stacked veteran roster and haven’t had the chance to prove themselves. Dunbar and Blackwell got that opportunity and they both suck.
Isn't that better than what Johnny Orr did at ISU?
Blackwell and Dubar still have much more potential than most of the guys.
What have they done to show you that. They have been utterly awful this year. Keegan doesn’t play nearly as much as them, and he’s shown much more promise.
Their high school ranking and film. Way more impressive than them.
I’d be really surprised if either of these guys are on the roster next year. Both will probably (should) transfer. Blackwell looked lost whenever he played and Dubar literally did nothing whenever he was on the floor.
