With Doyle and Brian gone, is Iowa still a premier OL place to be? They’ve had 3 OL drafted since 2019, with only 1 since Doyle left (Linderbaum).

I’m well aware of our dismal track record getting OL into the league. Aside from NIL and hometown appeal, is Iowa really that attractive compared to other places?

I just don’t think Iowa is the OL factory they were in the early/mid 00’s.

No they are certainly not.

I think Nebraska's pockets are too deep for Iowa on this one.

The outgoing Bama transfers have to be all about money. There is no reason to doubt Kalen DeBoer at this point. He's going to put a WR in the first round of the draft. Bama's best WR Isaiah Bond transfers out. He's going to put a QB in the first round. Bama's elite five star freshman recruit QB Julian Sayin made it 9 days. He just coached his team into the national championship game. His best safety Caleb Downs and starting LT Kadyn Proctor transfer.

Not only that but he made it further in the playoffs than Alabama last year. They all clearly are free agents. However, it's not like Bama is not going to pick up some quality free agents.

There's no reason for a player not to test the waters yearly - there's a window for everyone regardless of whether your coach left - college football is now thunderdome

My theory is that Bama's war-chest isn't anything close to what people think it is. Instead players were committing to Saban and his legacy. Now that that is gone, they expect money and it's not there.

I agree, people think Alabama is Texas in terms of money/NIL but it’s not. They probably aren’t much different than Florida, LSU, and Tennessee. Which is still a very good place to be, but it was Saban and his sustained success that kept them better than their SEC peers.

Not exactly sure.
Ah yes, PFF who had Breece Hall outside of the top 3 RBs in the same year he set the all time ncaa record for most TDs scored in consecutive games

Don't use PFF, they are bad. They had Caleb Bacon as a top 3 linebacker. None of our linebackers did well this year. That is just one example of how back PFF is.

While he is going to “put a QB” in the NFL, did he and his staff really develop Penix? Penix was a household name already while he was at Indiana. Granted, he brought Penix in, but I struggle to give him much credit beyond that.

The successor to Penix at Washington was supposed to be a 22 year old transfer from Mississippi State that Mike Leach recruited/developed.

Now…yesterday…Austin Mack announced he is following DeBoer to Alabama (if I’m not mistaken). 4 star recruit. We’ll have to see how that works out.
