Iowa Football Recruiting

@CyTwins I thought we were told he was. What happened?
Deuce Hogan played in this game last year. That must mean Sauser is future All-Big12 right???

Lol we have walk-ons invited to play in that game.

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

Might be top 15.

 

[TRYHARDER]

Look at the AP votes. The Big 12 is stacked compared to the Sun Belt

nobody is buying that right now.

 

[BCClone]

Looks like the AP voters think the clones are 8th best in the big 12 also

Right now we are 0-1 so that should be somewhat expected.

You obviously are by looking at the AP votes

How does everyone think the polls will be adjusted once the B1G finally comes back? I've heard there was talk about reinserting the teams into their preseason spot, but nothing concrete. Would be looking at:
#2 - OSU
#7 - PSU
#12 - Wisc
#16 - Mich
#19 - Minn
#24 - Iowa

Do you think TT, Baylor and TCU are good?

Imo, they shouldn't be reinserted until they play their first game.

Is Bateman back in for Minny?

At least until after they play their first game. Maybe not until they've played two or three.

We will know a LOT about all the other teams in the poll, but we won't know a single thing about any of these B1G teams until they play a few games.

I'm sort of there as well, but I'm also one that never really liked AP preseason polls or to begin with. Always thought they should wait until after 3 weeks in to put one out. But the more I think about it, it's just a fun poll anyway. It shouldn't really have any influence on things since we now have what is supposed to be an independent playoff poll.

Trying. I have a hard time thinking the NCAA won't make exceptions for these guys that signed with agents with everything going on. But, its the NCAA....

The preseason poll though.... nobody knew how any team really was yet.... it was a level playing field.

When the B1G finally starts playing, we will know a TON about all the other teams by then, but still know nothing about the B1G teams yet. I think the B1G teams shouldn't be in the poll until they've played 2 or 3 games to be fair.

You want the polls to wait until mid November so the B1G teams have 3 games under their belt to rank them?

I don't really see why it matters. The SEC teams haven't played yet but are in the poll. It's just a poll and doesn't really matter until the end of the season anyway.

I don't know. Texas Tech probably not. Hopefully the other two are not good either

Then why do you careWhere they have Iowa State in it?

Personally I wouldn't mind allowing players as long as agents didn't give players or their families anything.

For sure. Hard part will be investigating that. Not sure how many guys would be impacted, maybe call it 20 that singed with agents. I really doubt you see an audit happen in those cases. If you do, good luck having them cleared for games through November.
