That program is just a notch above D-II football. Ignore them. Whatever decent players they have will be in the transfer portal.
Lutovsky signs with NU.
- Thread starter dafarmer
- Start date
I am not sure if I more surprised that NU still gets high level talent off name alone since they have stunk for several years or the fact that they can’t do a thing with these players once they join the program.
They have great facilities and support. And I'd ignore any of it to play for Matt Campbell. I trust Matt. He's getting great talent and more importantly great kids. If Iowa kids want to be among them so much the better. If not...their loss.
I admit that I would have liked to get Lutovsky, as a local Iowa kid, but I’m pretty sure that CMC will come up with equal or better talent before it’s all said and done.
If there is one thing I have developed, it is complete faith in Campbell's ability to identify talent and recruit. Look at the last two years' classes and the high end talent across the board. We will be fine one way or another.
The have a water fountain in their athletic offices.
There needs to be a "scared straight" program to offset the Nebraska marketing/branding efforts in befuddling naive Iowa and other out-state kids who might go there. Scared straight from the actual prison of convicts it once was and scared straight from the "prison of expectations" that comes with it. I mean, you can't even where your hoodie there.
I prefer Loyal Sons.

There's evidence to the contrary but seems like there's a lot of that going around.
They're not beating Iowa. **** Iowa but they are playing better than the bug eaters.
to be honest, there is better talent outside of the state, anyway.
is it good to get in-state kids? sure. but iowa isn't really known for their high school football prospects.

I prefer 1-1, lose to Maryland and beat Iowa
He’s very good for an Iowa highschool lineman. Certainly better prospects out there nationally but to say he’s not that good is sour grapes and dumb.
Judging by how things are looking right now, I think this is a possibility.
Bollers: Lots of P5 interest
Colby: Committed to Hoks
Fidone: Lots of P5 interest
Liddle: Life-long Hok fan
Brecht: Life-long Hok fan, insider told me he's a strong lean
Bowie: uncertain, my guess Hoks
Twedt: We passed, Probably Hok lean
Harrell: Committed to Hoks
The only two that ISU should continue to recruit is Bollers and Fidone. I believe recruiting the others hard would be a waste of time for us.
I'm a strong believer that recruiting the state of Iowa for the sake of having a bunch of Iowa guys on the team is overrated. Yes, we want to be able to pull a guy like Bollers, but we can find other guy like Bowie, Twedt and Harrell elsewhere. I really like Brecht, but I think our chances are slim to none.
This staff's pipelines are in Ohio, St. Louis and Kansas City, while they also want to establish that 6 hour radius. They have also had alot of success in Texas and Florida; two key states that every P5 should try to recruit. The talent in Ohio, Kansas, Missouri and Illinois is much better than Iowa (especially Ohio).
The other point is most of the players in Iowa fell in love with football by watching the Hoks. They wore the gear to school and got sweaters and blankets as Christmas gifts. If they don't want to be a cyclone, auf wiedersehen.
