Iowa still manages to sign most of the top prospects in the revenue sports but ISU is chipping away.

Apparently Tadjo is transferring to Santa Clara. They also picked up a transfer from Michigan State. I'd be curious to know how hard Iowa tried to keep him.

Thanks for your opinions.

Why is Iowa playing two schools I didn't even know had football programs?

That's why it's crazy his son came to Iowa as a walk on.

Are schools able to pay players out of their athletics budget or does it have to come from NIL and collectives?

"I just don't think of the SEC as a basketball conference" Did you see the NCAA tourney this year?

Tadjo should have all four years of eligibility left if I'm not mistaken. He didn't sound very confident in his early interviews, he wanted to get adjusted before playing. I'd love to see Ben keep him around.

That's what was weird about the Lick era, even guys who were doing well left.

Hope he didn't pay them back with his son's money.

A lot also has to do with getting Stirtz, one of the top guys in the portal.

As reported by Hawkeye Beacon. Article implies he could be Iowa's starting LT, 6'5", 314-pounds, only one season of eligibility left.

I read something where Koch's dad said his son is putting on weight and should be much improved over last year. I guess Cooper had a collapsed lung before the season started! The article gave no indication how that happened.

Maybe he got Mulvey to de-commit from Sienna.

Ben grew up in Storm Lake so that can't hurt.
