Iowa Football Recruiting

  • After Iowa State won the Big 12, a Cyclone made a wonderful offer to We Will that now increases our match. Now all gifts up to $400,000 between now and the Final 4 will be matched. Please consider giving at We Will Collective.

ISU now has the 4th worst recruiting class in the P5 based on average player rating. This class would rank 8th (out of 11 teams) in the American conference. Yikes.

Where does Iowa rank in regards to $$ paid out for losing lawsuits and giving coaches money to leave?? Yikes!

Stanford has a higher average than ISU and they have 4 commits. I think if they could trade places, they would.

Stanford has had an average player rating of at least 87 every year since 2008. There is zero chance Stanford would rather have the garbage class that CMK is putting together this year.

You don’t think Stanford could go out and find 12-15 low 3 star and 2 star players to round out their class tomorrow if they wanted?

Stanford? Find 14 recruits ranked 800 and lower who are willing to commit? Nah, never.
Brock Purdy was ranked in the 800s. David Montgomery and Charlie Kolar were ranked in the 1200’s. Hakeem Butler was ranked in the 2000’s.

I’ll continue to trust our staffs evaluation on talent. You can continue to go off the numbers, if it helps you sleep at night.

I'm sleeping fine, but do appreciate the concern.

I think if Stanford just came along and offered every B12 commit outside of guys committed to either Texas or Oklahoma, 1/2 of them would decommit and go to Stanford.

Of course some of these low-rated ISU commits could end up being worldbeaters. That wasn't the point. To say that Stanford would trade places with ISU in terms of their 2021 recruits is just delusional.
