Why do you think it will be better?
Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and K State will all be preseason top 20 teams plus I think Texas and West Virginia will be pretty good. That's half the league right there
Why do you think it will be better?
ISU fans lectured Iowa for 5 years on how great Rhoads was. He was the second coming. Iowa was shaking in their boots, the almighty Rhoads was gonna dominate the state. He got Iowa's best recruit 3 years in a row.
Now ISU fans pretends they never spouted these platitudes. That CMC is just so different than any coach before him, that the fans had never believed in a coach so much before. Iowa is shaking in their boots, cause CMC is so awesome.
It is the same crap, different name. Wash, rinse, repeat.

I hope the Big 12 is down this year but I don't expect it to be. I think it will be better than last year
Lets not act like that is a challenge.
The Big 12 only had 1 more draft pick than the MAC a couple of weeks ago and 21 fewer than the next lowest P5 conference.
I said 6 and you got really mad at me.
ISU will go bowling, but it isn't because they are much better, instead the Big12 is backsliding toward ISU.
Don't know what that has to do with my post. But good effort for trying to make it an opportunity to diss ISU.ISU fans lectured Iowa for 5 years on how great Rhoads was. He was the second coming.

CMC and his staff have made in-state recruiting a high priority. One of the first things they did when they arrived in Ames was a statewide tour to build relationships with HS coaches. CPR and his staff never really prioritized in state recruiting like that.
I'm fine if Iowa wants to continue to slow play these kids with extensive evaluation since they think they are layups because it's going to backfire. Nebby and MN are going to put a hurting on Iowa's recruiting as well and I have no problem with what BF said. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Sure, but how many players has ISU "burned"? If you're talking a pulled scholarship, that is one...the DE from TX (Lamp). The OL from IL was asked to greyshirt, but he still had a 5 year ride, so I don't know how that would piss a coach off. If you are talking slow playing guys further down on your list, everyone does that to some extent, so I don't know how a HS coach can hold a grudge about that.

I've heard they have already pulled a couple of offers on some Iowa kids and the HS coaches are not happy at all.

I'm predicting 5 this year

I actually agree with this post. But what makes me laugh is how you can't be happy KNOWING that ISU will be the same old pushover for the mighty hawks. You have to spend time on a Cyclone website spouting the same ****. Wash, rinse, repeat....ISU fans lectured Iowa for 5 years on how great Rhoads was. He was the second coming.

And Iowa fans, and apparently coaches, would rather compare their "elite" football program to Iowa State and Minnesota. Why not go after Michigan, who according to your previous post has 194 current offers. It's the same thing with Iowa fans - they want to be in the conversation with the football elite, but won't schedule that way and steer the conversation about why they are better than perennial cellar-dwellars.

Where will those teams end up? Baylor and TCU were pre season top 25 last year and they were not top 25 teams or even close to it.
Andrew Todd, and one other I'm forgetting.
