Iowa Football Recruiting
- Thread starter CyTexMex
- Start date
This thread does a much better job of showing how "insecure" isu and its fan base is. Maybe you should stick to "enrollment smack'.
I will help you out then.
We have an young, forward-thinking staff who has shown an ability to gameplan and improve week to week. It's a staff that hasn't had a single one of "their guys" hit the field yet, but are doing great work developmentally on the field and on the recruiting trails.
You have a crusty old, set-in-his-ways coach. You have a program that hit lightening in a bottle for a 10 week period last year, but have been exposed as marginal at best. You have a program that has failed to capitalize completely on the momentum from last year. You also have a coach who is signed into perpetuity and coaches as such.
According to Sagarin we would be 3-5 with Iowa's schedule right now. Yes I know you use Massey, I don't
I'd say we're more excited by getting a commitment from a top-50 basketball player and there are about 10 Cyclone fans ribbing the Hawks in this thread. Our football team is in its first season with a new staff. Are we supposed to over-analyze them?
So it doesn't bother you that isu is 1-6 and would be last in the Big 10?
Iowa has had high level RB's commits before that we have lost and yet have still managed to have a Doak Walker award winner.
Wadley was a 2 star RB and he has enough talent to win us games. I have a feeling Iowa will find other RB's to do the same.
Meanwhile isu had Tom Herman on its coaching staff and guess what isu still ended up being isu.
Sagarin is in Massey. Probably better for you and other cy fans to cherry pick though, that way you can sleep better at night.
Composite rankings are much better.

I'd rather we were better than 1-6 but it is what it is. We are a basketball school and all. You're right though, maybe Iowa should just stop going after talented players and hope everyone turns out to be Josey "can't tackle" Jewell or Akrum "only 20 yds against an FCS team" Wadley
Without the back-and-forth between you and Twins, there'd be like, 20 pages.
If Iowa was going to stop going after talented players then Eno never would have had an offer to begin with.
If isu really is a basketball school then why do cy fans such as yourself spend so much time obsessing over Iowa football? In fact why does isu spend so much money on football at all? Seems to me foolish to spend as isu does to get the results you have.
Maybe there is a better definition of "insecure" that what is on display here.
isu had Tom Herman as a coach and guess what, isu still ended up being isu. Do you really think your newest savior can do what Herman couldn't?
If threads about rivals were about insecurity, every single fan base would be considered insecure.
Actually, the person who started this thread is a hawk fan, so....
"Sucks, but wish __ENO___ well. Don't fault a _17__ year old kid for such an important life decision. Hope we can keep __SOMEONE____, but still pretty fun to be in the mix with (increasingly less high profile programs) for these guys."
Our staff is so out of touch with modern recruiting it is a joke. Tell two of your top three recruits to look elsewhere because you have an outdated policy in place so you don't have to work as hard as other staffs to keep guys committed. I bet some kid from Fairfield, Maquoketa, or Solon is pretty stoked right now.
