I can see Allen or Ross being late offer guys or walk ons.
Hopefully Nerness doesn't go with KSU

That's not what I said at all, but I do think both Iowa and ISU miss out on a few kids that are head scratchers. Jake Knott wasn't being offered by Iowa or ISU until the Ankeny coaches told a newly hired CPR about him and we got him late. And I'm sure if Iowa and ISU realized how good David Johnson was, they would have found a way to get him on campus, probably with a scholarship as UNI did. The kid was a 6-3 200 pounder that was an elite sprinter and dominated eastern Iowa football. And now isnt' the time to make fun of having so many Iowa players like UNI after the way they dominated us last fall.
I think Ross wants to go to eiu. Not for sure though. I believe his brother went there.Not sure if that will be a factor.
I've read the opposite. Obviously he's going to have a lot of offers, but you never know.
No kidding? Hardly an argument that we should recruit more Iowa kids. Besides, we just got 2 in-state commits and offered 2 more who I hope we can land. Can you tell me how they are going to perform 3-4 years from now because I'm sure the coaches would love your psychic ability!
Well I'm guessing we will win between 3-6 games. CPRs seat will be getting hot, but he will still be giving some time like Coach Mac.
Although we must wait and see how the Mangino Express experiment goes first!
Well then you have read something that his wrong. Nebraska is the favorite to get him with him saying it's his favorite and he's already been multiple times.
I would be the goes to Nebraska or another big time football school. His brothers went to Wisconsin and Notre Dame.
His brother that went to Wisconsin grayshirted and then never joined the team.
Tweener right now, sure, but he has another year to develop plus a presumed redshirt year. Just like you, I'm sold as well.
Relax. I don't claim to have any psychic abilities, just that some of us think there are more good Iowa high school players that probably deserve scholarship offers. UNI has made a living taking a lot of Iowa kids that Iowa and ISU don't offer, then usually come into Ames or Iowa City and scare the h out of us or beat us. And it didn't take a psychic to see that David Johnson was going to be a good college player, some of us on here were expressing our frustration that we weren't offering, and getting put down by some for doing so. I've never said we need to be offering a bunch of Iowa kids just for the sake of offering, but if it's close between an Iowa kid that grew up wanting to be a Cyclone and a kid of relatively equal skill from another state, I'd like to see the ship go to the Iowa kid. And I think the quality of high school football in Iowa is better than some want to give it credit for.
What is UNI's record against FBS teams that are NOT Iowa State? Cause we play FBS teams.
You're also missing the point, and I don't know their record against FBS teams. I doubt they play many except us and Iowa. How many FBS teams does UNI get to play at home?

They put a good scare into Wisconsin not all that long ago. I like UNI and I root for them unless they are playing ISU. Hope they take down Iowa this year, and they have a good shot to do so.
