Seeking more attention

Geesh, the kid is trying to figure out what school is best for his future, and he has to do that during a pandemic when he can't go out and visit the schools. Cut the kid some slack. I don't think he commits to the Hawks, but I think he is a good prospect and wish him the best wherever he goes.

Sooooo, you're NOT going to link something that proves your lie about Prohm and Wigginton? Got it. Dude all you do is lie. It's ridiculous

What do I need to link? He was never going to get drafted and choose to leave ISU anyway.

I don't think you know anything about what you are talking about.

Wigginton made it VERY clear the moment he stepped on campus that he was going to be at ISU for 2 years MAX.

Foster has said the same thing. Foster only plans to be in college for a maximum of two years.

Interesting. What grade did he receive from you?
I think he will get playing time his first year on campus. He's a ball hawk and a lengthy cb. I'm not great at rating CB and OL since you really need to see a full game to get a good evaluation, but this staff has really hit it out of the park with FL cbs lately.

Okay lol. You keep making crap up and are constantly lying, getting caught and can't man up. It's not even fun honestly. To the ignore list you go

Just cause you say the same thing over and over doesn't mean your right.
Thought I'd look it up after seeing this. It's pretty unbelievable when you see it.

Talk about lying coming from the guy claiming 158 wins in 19 years isn't over 8 wins per year.

About the same composite rating for the Hoks 2011 and 2017 (Epenesa, Wirfs and Smith-Marsette) class and higher than 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016.

The class is solid. We've still got a few heavy hitters left on the board that would be home runs if we hit at least three of them.

Do you feel that with time the recruiting rankings as a whole keep moving up for individual players? To clarify my point, it seems that average ratings for team recruits keep going up even if that doesn't mean an increase in the overall team ranking for the class.

For example: Iowa's average recruit in 2017 was at 84.52, but yet they still finished at 41 overall. In 2020, ISU's average recruit was 85.11, but finished at 46 overall.

I think the player ratings keep going up and thus it might look like certain teams are improving their recruiting when in reality they are doing about the same or even worse than before.

That is crazy. Hard to believe that was a 6-3 game halfway thru the 4th quarter. I still maintain that no matter what a 6-3 game halfway thru the 4th quarter is still a close game.

Yes, there is inflation over time with the 247 composite ratings. You can see it when you compare positional rankings, too (i.e. the 30th rated RB in 2021 has a composite rating a full point higher than the 30th rated RB in 2011).

Definitely was closer. Iowa shooting themselves in the foot after a couple good drives with missed fieldgoals definitely hurt.

Inflation! That is the word I'm looking for. Thanks. Something I've been noticing for a while. You have to look at average recruit rankings as they compare to that year as they don't really correlate much year to year.
