Its still no guarantee you make the bigs. Thats still a lot of time on a bus playing minor league ball.
No doubt, the signing bonus would be tempting but I have no idea how well off his family is and if the money would be the deciding factor.
Tell us all about isu's NfL 1st round draft picks. We know Cy Twins wasn't alive the last time isu had one how about you?
Nice try but I'm not about to get in a pissing match like you and Cy twins love so much. I just brought an opinion that it's dumb if you turn down what I would assume is a 6-7 figure payday in pro baseball to go to Iowa where you're going to be running 5 yard out patterns for 4 years.
Is it as dumb as going to ISU to win 12 games in 4 years over a program like Iowa or KSU?
I agree.
That said Heller has got to be loving it with McCAFFERY and now Marchesse coming in that he doesn't have to use any scholarship on them. Just find a way to make it work schedule wise with the other sport.
TCU in the last 5 years in the Big 12 conference has averaged a 4-5 finish putting them in the mid to above average tier of the conference.... SAME AS IOWA IN A 30 YEAR SPAN! DERP
True. Downing probably cost himself a lot of money. Wish the kid the best of luck, but it is an uphill climb to be drafted coming out of ISU.
If you care about baseball you take that as you will be fast tracked as a first-5 round pick. That is basically the pinnacle of the MLB draft and you shouldn't pass it up. Hell he could even get drafted and go to school for free while still having his rights owned by his drafters. MLB is "the hardest" to get to the Bigs because the sheer amount of people, but when you put that against the NFL where he is basically doing the minor leagues in college. College is where the players get weeded out in football. The only difference is you are making money continually and not beating your body to **** if you take the MLB draft route.
But, forreal, more power to him if he has always wanted to play football for Iowa and he knows he can't let that opportunity pass up. That is a big ******* decision and he has to really love Iowa to pass that type of possibility up, because he is essentially saying no to baseball for good
I wouldn't care if he was committed to ISU. If you have the option to get paid playing AAA ball, do it.
That would be nice. But, correct me if I'm wrong, I thought McCaffery was taking the baseball scholly and walking on for Bball? Or is he just walking on for both?
he has to walk on for both. If he took a baseball scholarship he couldn't play basketball because it would count towards their scholarships
Wadley isn't listed as in the top 8 for RB's in the B1G. Yikes!

That Iowa OL is going to steamroll defenses.
If the Big Ten defenses are like last year I completely agree. I think Boettger is better than Myers by the way
I think they are both average tackles as far as pass blocking.
Run blocking I would give the edge to Myers.
Yeah run blocking they are all beasts for Iowa. Myers seems like he has the athleticism to be a good pass blocker but hasn't put it all together yet. But he is still pretty good when healthy. And I would bet he will be better this year.
UMMMM, he is listed as 2nd team AP, which is All Purpose back...... really CyTwins I thought you were smarter then that.
