That wasn't the discussion we were having, now was it?

Not sure how NFL talent that a previous staff developed has any bearing on Downing's decision.

Even as a Clone homer, you can admit that the path to the NFL, especially as an OL, is much clearer at Iowa.

So, I am willing to bet your seniors were better than Wigginton and they still couldn't beat our freshmen. Those freshmen won in Madison and at Maryland so the only fear they will have is if an isu student threatens the team bus.

Wigginton is the real deal, Prohm can really recruit. Has Fran ever gotten a 5 star recruit before? I mean he's 58

247 has him as the 35th best OG. Being ranked in the top 50 of your position would be considered as one of the best in the country.

247 has Nunge as the 37th best PF in the country so that means he is one of the best forwards in the country.

They also have Garza as the #10 C in the country so he is one of the best centers in the country.

Connor is the #23 SF in the country so he is also one of the best forwards in the country.

He won't be better than Monte, Naz and Thomas were as seniors right out of the gate so our returning players should be able to take care of him. I will leave the recruiting rankings to you and will take scoreboard instead.

OK so you're a Rivals guy. That's all you had to say. You nervous about having to face 5 star Lindell Wigginton?

Why do you even do that? You telegraph this from a mile away, and it is why nobody answers your questions. You have some stupid and panned response a waiting. Plus it is stupid, as the same logic then says you don't believe in Rivals so you can't possibly thing Wiggington is a 5*.

Now why did you go and do that? Clone fans will have to change the criteria from top 50 to something else.

Bump for @Stewo, do you agree?

Haha, so what was the point of your comment?

@Stewo said being in the Top 50 at your position means you are one of the best prospects at your position.

Nobody even mentioned Top 150 until you commented.

Comparing football and basketball rankings is stupid. The 30th best WR is going to be a much better prospect than the 30th best player at any basketball position

So just to confirm, being the #841 ranked football player in the country means you are one of the best at your position in your class but being in the Top 150 in basketball doesnt mean anything?

I never said he was one of the best at his position but comparing position rankings in football and basketball is dumb even for you
