Funny that ISU isn’t on here and Rutgers, Illinois, NW, and Nebraska are.
You see the arm strength displayed there?
I'd be surprised if they didn't. Not like PWO spots are super lucrative. That's all ISU offered him and it sounds like he's in line for a scholarship, so that's all that really matters now.
I don't think that 10-2 is a super realistic ceiling either, but I also don't believe that they're going to fall off a cliff after losing those players. They've recruited better than ISU ever has. OL losses are minimal, really. And they return some all-conference type players in Hutchinson, Downing, McDonald, Johnson. The cupboard isn't as bare as some people think.
To be clear I don't think the cupboard is bare by any means or that ISU will finish under .500. Someone posted a season record poll on here a little while back and I voted for 7-5 but 8-4 also seems very realistic. Hall was such a stud and Purdy was a 3+ year starter so I was mainly surprised someone said 10-2. Who knows though, if Dekkers is as good as people say he is then you guys could definitely surprise.
I have zero clue why Twins and Brandon kept hammering that rumor. Seems like they were either getting horrible information or they were jealous Iowa got X and made it up? Weird.
Honestly, I picked 7-5 as well. But I think that the spread is anywhere between 5-7 and 8-4.
No offense, but PWO offers just aren’t reported as much as full rides. I figured with him being a local kid plus a legacy, he would have a PWO offer. Maybe not. It’s not like I’m claiming it as a recruiting victory, as either school would have offered if they thought he was a sure thing.
Lol, there was no information, he was butthurt and started dragging a HS kid by accusing him of taking illegal payments. And some around here apparently are ok with that. I hope he's getting the help he needs.
Just figured the analysts would look at ISU as a competitive team with Iowa. It is almost always a close game. I can't imagine most Hawkeye fans feel as confident to beat ISU this year as they do the other 4 you mentioned. Unless they haven't really thought about what ISU has this year. Plus those other teams have had fairly poor records lately while we go to bowl games every year including a NY6 bowl win. But I understand an Iowa fan would want to lump ISU in with those others. We do manage to lose the CyHawk every year.
With the speed he told OSU to move on, you can rest assured he is pretty firmly committed.
ESPN FPI has Iowa winning the CyHawk game at like 53%. So that is pretty close to a coin flip.
