This one obviously burns Campbell. He was really hoping to get Martin. I admit, I didn't think he'd end up in IC either.
You cant be this dense? Let me put it another way, why do you think guys like him, Darboh, Harrison Barnes, Marcus Paige didnt go to Iowa or Iowa State? Its not a hard answer, but some of you guys will be too dumb to figure it out.

We didn't offer Martin and why would any good WR go to Iowa?
Lmao, gee I wonder why Campbell didnt offer him in 2017???? Go look at his original offer list, you think Iowa State is competing with that coming off multiple 3 win seasons?
Just for some modern talk on here regarding NFL caliber players and receiving yards (Iowa's offense is NFL style in regards to TE utilization)
4 TE were in the top 25 for receiving yards in the NFL in 2018, No RBs made the top 25.
So saying that our number 4/5 options will return and are comparable to your number 4 WR that is a potential NFL player, according to cyclonenation, is not dumb, or stupid, it is just the facts. Now you do have your other top 2 and 3 returning, but they were not up to Butler's level in terms of production at that spot.
So, Oliver Martin will be someone that can push for making that unit better, I get it ISU did not want him, because they had not shot at him in terms of him being from Iowa City anyway.
IMO, ISU returns more production at the WR spot, but I am not seeing that huge talent gap that there was even 2-3 years ago at WR. I think Iowa is still behind ISU, but ISU lost their 2 all time best WRs the last 2 years to graduation.
Heck, I think Iowa's TE will struggle a little this year due to the guys we lost, I am not in fantasy land thinking since we are a TE factory that we will still be an upper echelon unit there a year after we lost that talent.

So, Darien Porter is going to be an absolute stud, but Oliver Martin can not be even though he is regarded as being a better prospect? You see this is where Iowa fans do not get the logic behind the homer ISU thinking by some posters.
