Iowa Football Recruiting

I would probably limit the recruiting smack talk when Iowa State put together one of the worst recruiting classes in all of P5 last year. You do you, though.
With the hoks great recruiting classes, wouldnt you think your coaching staff would have season records that would be better, considering they are in the BIG 10 West. Your best recent season (2015) 12-2, another year you don't play Ohio State or Michigan, then ended up with an ass kicking by Standford (THeir band kicked the hoks band too..lol). How does that happen with such a great coaching staff that recruits so well. Iowas record versus who they play in conference is a joke, no matter how you spin it. I mean, who is doing more with less, is the real point?

SO far so good right? what happens when Purdy leaves and Hall? And you have to replace a line that has started together for 2 years?
Wasn't this the narrative after D.Montgomery went pro? All they did was replace him with a unanimous AA selection... I'm also not overly concerned about Purdy (though he is an 'all-timer') considering what the QB room looks like at present.

Forgot to include that I'm not really reading into any 'QB insights' posted by HOK 'talent scouts' **cough Zach Wilson** **cough** **cough**

Iowa has 4 bad coaches on their staff. We have 0. That's the difference in their culture vs 5 star culture

His career average at Iowa is 7-5 but 7-5 at Iowa under Ferentz is a down year? That doesn't even make sense
The fans are not happy with 7-5 at Iowa, at least not the ones I know. But there are some fan bases that celebrate it.
 
I don’t have any issues taking one huge reach in a Top 25 class. I would have a lot of issues with taking a bunch of reaches in a borderline Top 60 class.
Are these not the type of recruits that Campbell has taken and lead the program to new heights with?
 
You are slipping Thinker.... go back 6 years to the 2015 team.
I am not even including the 2015 team. And without them 7-5 is not even the low mark. 8-5 is. and in those 8-5 seasons no Iowa fan said how great a year we had.

Yes he struck gold with some classes like that. So has Kirk, but Kirk has also flattened out with those classes too. So it is not unreasonable to assume that could happen to MC

So the fans aren't happy with Ferentzs career average yet support him even though he's a bad person and a racist? Lol disagree with that take

I would not call ISU a powerhouse yet. Hopefully they will play like one this season. They are trending in the right direction.
A powerhouse is many consecutive seasons of dominant play. Winning 10+ each year. Iowa State went 7-6 in 2019 like wtf is wrong with you guys lolol
