Not even close to the same level of talent though. AJE and Wirfs are generation talents, no offense to the guys who moved on the year before

Daniels was a 2nd round draft pick as a 3 year college player who was 20 years old when he was drafted. Hockenson and Fans were both first rounders. Anthony Nelson and Hooker were All Big10 players.

You think you'll have a weak schedule again this upcoming year?

We had a tougher schedule than ISU last year and will likely again this year. Big12 is gonna be way down. Heck ISU could make the Big12 championship game with a 8 win year I'd think.

We've been over this like 5 times, you are boring. Come up with something original. Instead of rehashing your same Sagarin SOS is the only SOS metric troll, how about starting a new thread about how the Iowa Hawkeyes will never, ever make a sweet 16? That is a surefire bet, and you can troll it for years.

None. How concerned are you about losing your three best players? (Wirfs, AJE, Stone)

Yeah it's a concern for sure. I like some of the younger DEs but they're still largely unproven. I do think Nixon will be a force on the inside and that will help up front. Any time you lose an OT like Wirfs it leaves a gap. I think Jackson is a very good anchor on the other side and we have good experience coming back on the interior. I think Cronk should be a decent plug-in guy at RT assuming he wins the spot. Not as worried about replacing Stone, we have solid young talent in the D backfield. Again, the talent is fairly green but Phil has proven his chops at coaching up DBs.

Cronk was a nice get, but I actually think he will play guard and Kallenberger will play RT when it is all said and done.

Like I said tired and boring, this is the 5th times I've posted since Dec. 20th. Are you really this stupid that you can't remember anything, or is your trolling really this bad these days?



Nope, never posted it before, ever. Don't worry though, I copied it this time for quick reference, so I can post that when @CyTwins posts his one sagarin SOS metric that even he doesn't believe in.

Nice try. ISU went 7-6 playing a weaker schedule than Iowa played who won 10 games.
