Iowa Football Recruiting

[theiacowtipper]

You guys have been on here saying he wasn’t that good since he committed.

So do you understand how dumb you sound now? Doubtful, but I’m trying to help you.

I don’t know how good he is. I’ve never seen him play and I’ve never said he wasn’t good. Iowa takes one QB a year and had theirs early. You’re putting words in my mouth that I’ve never said or even hinted at.

Yeah. I mean ISU hasn’t signed a QB that Bama offered in over a year...oh no

What does the investment ad say? Past success is in no way an indicator of future success? Certainly both teams have proven to be able to hold a recruit with Alabama in the mix, Nixon and Purdy. Iowa at least has lost a recruit after offered by Alabama, Ross P. I was just saying it adds a dynamic.

Northern Illinois is the only school Iowa held off for Nixon.

It’s fascinating that you have a game today, yet here you all are.

You care more about Iowa State, than you do your own team, I won’t say alma mater as we both know that isn’t true.

Seriously, though every one of you (since you are no different than benj and buddy) has worked so hard to diminish this commitment.

It’s as logical as you all saying how Campbell is not that good, and then in the next breath are sure he’s going to get a job that’s 100 times better than Iowa.

But again, it’s pathetic you’re here begging for acceptance to begin with, but that you’re here on a day when your team has a game is even sadder.

No kidding. On game days I sit and focus on what I can do to help the team. It’s really important. I then wait for the coaches to call me and we discuss the game plan.

This is dumb.

Did you read your post?

Besides Alabama committing a recruiting violation while he was at IWCC to try and get him to Tuscaloosa.

Hawkeyereport posters are saying that Alabama May be closer to offering Dekkers. Any worry there Clones?

Dekkers is so dang good

 

[CyTwins]

Nixon didn't have a committable offer to Bama technically

 

[TRYHARDER]

Dekkers is so dang good

They will probably convert him to a TE.

So were you on Hawkeye report/Hawkeye nation/etc today princess?

Need to see if we can get the Miami of Ohio LT to come to us, he took epenesa out of the game today.

You might need their QB too.

And their OC.

I think that was the first full game I've watched Purdy. Does he always throw 99% of his passes to <5 yard routes in the flat? No wonder he has such a nice completion %. I don't think he made one good 15-yard throw the entire game.

Not according to @Statefan10

He said it was the Iowa coaches that make Stanley's job so easy with predetermined throws and Purdy often threw difficult passes in tight windows after going through progressions.

Both QB's had talent to throw the ball up to, however a lot of Purdy's throws came where he'd go through his progressions and pick out a target. On the contrary, a lot of Stanleys throws were designed routes to get one guy open. There were tons of roll outs to TE's and WR's dragging across the middle as well as three step fade routes. Essentially, low risk throws where the ball was either going to the guy or was going to be incomplete.

Iowa rarely puts Stanley in positions to fail. They know his strengths and weaknesses. A lot of his passes are predetermined, in which he's either going to look for one, maybe two guys before he throws it away. It's definitely not a bad thing and it's worked out well for him.

No, normally goes down field and will run on about 1/3 of his chances. OC kept things very basic to keep from from getting hit. Very unusual game

He didn't run at all and nearly every pass he threw was <5 yards from the LOS. The few times he threw it downfield looked really bad.
