Iowa Football Recruiting
- Thread starter CyTexMex
- Start date
You intrigued me with this post, so I took a look at wins for each Big 10 and Big 12 program for the past 5 years (I can do more or less if you'd like). I then grouped them into 4 tiers by win total.
Tier 1: Ohio St., OU, Wisky, Baylor, Mich St, OK St.
Tier 2: KSU, Nebby, Michigan, Penn St, TCU, Iowa.
Tier 3: NW, Minnesota, WVU, Texas, Tech, Rutgers (biggest surprise, IMO).
Tier 4: Maryland, Indiana, Illinois, ISU, Purdue, KU.
Looks kind of like AL getting run down from behind by JJ.
Could it cost him? Potentially yes. But that is hypothetical.
It's a given that going to Iowa over the MLB will cost him potentially millions right now. I didn't say that just because it's Iowa. I said it for anyone. The kid would turning down MLB for college football isn't the smartest decision monetarily.
Wow, Mike Weber listed as the 9th best RB in the Big Ten? When two 1,000 yard rushers can't even crack the Top 8 RBs in the conference, you know that conference has elite talent.
Yeah Wadley doesn't stack up well in his own conference. He's fast but just tiny, reminds me of a poor man's Trevor Ryen
You might be right. Similar to turning down Notre Dame and playing with DeShone Kizer to play at ISU with a MLB taking snaps may not have been the smartest decision monetarily.
Oh man, I visited the Zach Ross thread to see what ISU fans thought of him and it was mostly talk about Iowa. Here Ian the real scoops on Ross and Iowa.
Ross needed to impress the Iowa coaches with a good Sr year, and Iowa has to miss on the rest of its top targets to get an Iowa offer. Not really unheard of for Iowa, they tell recruits this all the time instead of offering them an non committable offer.

Not at all. Iowa is the best in the country at identifying OL talent. Ross didn't have a good enough Jr year to earn an Iowa offer. If Iowa still has a spot open in Dec and Ross impresses his Sr year he could still get an Iowa offer. If he does get one he will be a Hawk, kind of like Anthony Nelson.

Mandel is a solid reporter that really does his homework. Iowa and TCU in the 3rd tier together.

I feel like you didn't read the article. His rankings are based on “prestige and place in the national scene". In other words, it's still heavily about program history. TCU, for instance, doesn't have the long, prestigious history, but has developed into a house-hold name.
Without looking back you claimed they were a top level offer based on tradition. You just described tradition in your above post.
Maybe I am not remembering correctly but I thought you used the term "tradition".
Negative Ghost Rider.
Yeah, if you're talking all-time. TCU is a top 25 program in today's college football scene.
