No big wow here but he is officially going to play for Iowa.

Iowa really ran the table on any decent recruits in the state of Iowa this year, and last.
:sad:
 
Iowa is putting together one REALLY good recruiting class. Plus, they are pretty young already all over the football field right now.

I've got a feeling that they will be a very good football team for quite a while... barring any off-the-field issues of course.

ISU needs Kohler in a big way, but it wasn't sounding too promising the last I had heard on this site.
 
This is a great pick up by Iowa, but I do not want to start calling him the next big thing untill he gets on campus and shows what he can do. I would like to see him get a shot a quarterback, but the hawkeye coaching staff will put him at the position that is best for Derby and the team.

You may not like it but that does not change the facts. Sorry, son.

Fine, whatever. Pretty clear that you can believe whatever you want to. If you think we didn't recruit Iowa, we didn't recruit Iowa.

Sorry son, but the facts are the facts.

Just look at ISU vs. Iowa in-state recruiting the past seven years. Mac went toe-to-toe with Iowa for in-state recruits and came out at least even -- and a lot better in several years, like 2003. The tide turned big time in 2007-2009, when Chizik was in charge when Iowa beat ISU 4-0 for four-star in-state recruits, and 6-2 for three star in-state recruits:

2003 - Huge advantage for ISU
ISU: 3*: Griebahn, Blythe, Brant, 2*: Meyeer, Mechalsen, Moses, Tjaden, Taylor, Schrage, Schmeling
Iowa: 3*: Klinkenborg, 2*: Zanders, Huntrods, Humpal

2004 - Small advantage for ISU
ISU: 3*: Scales, Ferguson, Coleman, 2*: Carper, Streit, Frere, Kuehl
Iowa: 3*: Bentler, King, 2*: Sabers, Brodell, Kroul

2005 - Small advantage for Iowa
ISU: 4*: Flander, 2*: Mahoski
Iowa: 4*: Kanellis, Blum, 3*: Angerer, Kuempel

2006 - Huge advantage for ISU
ISU: 2*: Arnaud, Lamaak, Frere, Neal, Sandvig, Hulbert
Iowa: 2*: Vandevelde

2007 - Huge advantage for Iowa
ISU: 3*: Brown, 2*: Sandvig
Iowa: 4*: Nielsen, Bernstine, 3*: Hnndertmark, Sandeman, Sash, 2*: Reisner

2008 - Small advantage for Iowa (because 2 of our 4 instaters are kickers)
ISU: 3*: McDonough, 2*: Guyer, Mahoney, Tuftee
Iowa: 3*: Ferentz, Vandenberg, 2*: Reisner

2009 - Huge advantage for Iowa
ISU: 2*: Lichtenberg, Lenz
Iowa: 4*: Wegher, Davis, 3*: Cotton, 2*: Bofelli, Clark

By they way, you might notice the names of some of the in-state players that Chizik did not recruit, like Wegher, Davis, Reisner, and Sash. They were the ones beating the Florida and Texas players that Chizik did recruit.

Does that mean Iowa > Florida and Texas:wink:
 
Chizek didnt recruit Iowa and his staff also left a terrible impression on the Iowa high school coaches. They were a joke.
 
We all know what happened the last time Iowa had a "GREAT" recruiting class, *2005*.

It would if Chizik had gotten his Texas and Florida players away from the U. of Texas and the U. of Florida....but he mostly took them away from Sunbelt and Conference USA schools.

A+....this is 100% correct. I don't know why we have fans who want to bury their heads in the sand and pretend otherwise. But we do.

You honestly think we didn't recruit them? You're more jaded than I thought. Chiz ******* LOVED Brandon Wegher, for one, and we sure as hell recruited him and other Iowa players.


But I'm not arguing this point anymore. Believe whatever you want, I don't really care.
