Iowa Football Recruiting

[Lemmiwinks]

Iowa was a play away from going to the playoffs

You just had to say it didn't you? You have any idea how much reliving that hurts?

Haha it actually is funny how many nut punches Iowa State and Iowa have had over the years. I apologize for bringing it up.

We were 7-5 and people were saying we didn't deserve to be playing 10-2 Notre Dame. They were not wrong. Iowa was a play away from going to the playoffs and people were saying they didn't belong.

In hindsight yes. Iowa got absolutely dismantled by Stanford. I was at the game and it was the most miserable (outside of the setting) game I've ever witnessed in my life.

It happens. It happens all the time. There are games where one team shows up and it feels like nothing can go wrong for them, while at the same time everything goes wrong for your team.

I'd say that was probably 10% of it.

90% was because we had the wrong cleats on.

Edit - drop 90 down to 85% and throw McCaffrey in at 5%.

I will admit, that Iowa was slipping and sliding all over the field that game and it was very noticeable, but my question is why did they have the wrong cleats on? That is still on KF and the team IMO. No excuse to have the wrong cleats.

Some smoke that Bollars will be announcing Wisconsin today. It'd be nice to officially move on, so hopefully it happens.

Yeah, probably no secret I'm a huge KF fanboy. But that one I'm still pretty mad at. He (and Greg Morris) really dropped the ball that day, and probably cost Iowa a shot at winning.

But I would go.

50%-Stanford
40%-McCaffery
10%-Iowa flat out stunk this game

I completely understand that not having the correct footing is vital in sports, however that was not 90% of the reason why Iowa lost that football game in that capacity.

The hits keep on coming for ISU in this recruiting class.

Ahh, clearing this thread up one troll by one has been nice. Who is next?

ISU has put out a couple of more DE offers so that would make sense.

It has been Wisconsin for Bollers for a long time.

LOL, you're too pure to be here man.

Yep, best to just get it over with at this point and move on. Bollers was never going to stay in state. Glad Iowa quit trying a long time ago.

Literally everyone has been saying Wisconsin for months.

SOMEONE has to play this role if there's going to be any civility and I have no problem doing so. It keeps me sane lol.

1. Why would I say "Yea, this guy ain't that committed"? I'm not in third grade. I don't have to "call it" when I see the certain signs. P.S. I read who ever posted "How committed is he?" as "Is he committed?" that's why I replied "Yes". My bad.
2. That is just not true. And you still didn't answer me.
3. Thank you.

1. You did say that he was your favorite commit. Which has to make this sting even more!
2. I don't know. If he's good enough the coaches will find a spot for him.
3. yw

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

It's May still *******. Recruiting is still far from over.

Lol might get worse from here! Class is already 2/3 full and CMC is whiffing on the guys at he top of his board.

I believe PFF put out something about teams that have the most success with lower rated players coming out of high school, and Iowa is near the top of the list. What he's saying is true.

Hawks don’t believe PFF, so can’t be true

 

[SouthernCy]

God I hope we don't have to go through all of this every time a guy decommits from here until signing day.

Welcome to the new forum. Where everyone hates everyone and ratings or offers don’t matter. Enjoy your stay
