The big thing that the article mentions is the naked photos taken by Starocci, and the grabbing of guys' junk and "checking their oil" that was going on and according to Bartlett was reported to Cael and staff. The totality of circumstances along with student accounts adding on and general fear...

Jim Zabel was the best! The ultimate homer but as a Hawkeye fan, he was great! LOL.

I'm most excited about the potential offense that will allow a quarterback with his capabilities to shine and utilize his skillset. While having Heisman hype is nice, I would rather see wins versus personal accolades. I think Gronowski can be that guy.

With today's NIL and transfer portal, it's the new norm for athletes to move on. A commitment isn't what it used to be. However, there are just times that things don't work out or are not what they were believed to be. I cannot blame a young person who wants to seek the best opportunity for...

I'm hearing Ball State....that leads me to believe that the quarterback room was crowded enough that he felt like he was not going to compete or was down on the depth chart enough he wasn't going to see time in the future.

It appears Starocci is being investigated for theft from his teammates, but it appears that Bartlett's wife shared a bit more about "violating teammates?" It doesn't really elaborate and Bartlett's response to his wife's post stated she could have elaborated much more, but out of respect for him...

Speaking of PSU, anyone know what is going on with this Carter Starocci/Beau Bartlett theft/hazing story?

I think it's all the above. Throw in social media creates an environment where this stuff gets "likes" or attention. Athletes play to the camera too. I think coaches fear retaliation by parents or social pressure. Parents are also responsible. It's a totality of these variables. Coaching is...

There's a lot of Cornhusker fans who support their Cornhusker football team but support and donate to the Creighton basketball team. I've come to the conclusion, the NIL is out of control. IF guys like Dix and Freeman are getting millions, I cannot imagine what top tier players get. And wasn't...

Agree with a lot of being said. I think also beyond the youth, it's a chemistry adjustment. I say it's a bit of the Caitlyn Clark Effect. At times, you saw the team almost lost. Who was going to step up and take the shot. The last several years, you always had Clark to take charge and take the...

You make a good point on TE usage. I'm curious if Lester's scheme does not utilize tight ends. That could potentially affect future recruiting at this position, which we have done fairly well at.

I honestly don't think he was truly ever "right" after the ACL surgery much less the second injury. He wore that big bulky brace and it hindered him. If you really watched his throwing mechanics, he never truly could plant that front throwing leg, and it showed. Great leadership and locker...

I think in many ways, he has earned the right to decide when he wants to go. I don't think KF will overstay his welcome. He loves what he does and truly enjoys working with his guys. I have some optimism for next year. Hoping the portal is good to us and we can pick up a few key needs. I don't...

Wasn't there something also about Fant not being the best blocker and taking plays off? I'm not sure. It's unfortunate when you get family involved and think they know more than the staff does. Often times, we only get part of the story or facts. Out of all the tight ends that Iowa has produced...

We tend to recruit or want "game managers" for Ferentz's style of play. Every once in a while we get that unicorn like a Banks or some of the aforementioned QB's that are allowed to shine, and can still meet that game manager that KF wants. More often than not, it seems that either we recruit a...
