    5 Iowa Football X-Factors in 2024

    I agree. I'm guessing he didn't see a clear enough path to playing time. If that was the case, it's ironic now that we really could use him.

    5 Iowa Football X-Factors in 2024

    Hubert and Gaffney are walk-ons. Bowie was a promising recruit but he hasn't seen significant snaps. I'm not as comfortable with the D-Line depth as you are. More than anything, injuries could really test this group.

    Monday Musings in Hawkeye Nation

    I agree with most of this but I will push back on the "no defense in the NBA" stuff that we hear all the time. You did say regular season and for the most part, that is correct. But the shooters, combined with the athleticism of some of players to drive to the hoop, make it very difficult to...

    I've Got teh Fever and all Things Caitlin

    The idiot head coach seems to have figured some things out. The Fever are 8-4 over their last 12 games. The team has grown, as has the coach. And the schedule has evened out. Their opening 10 to 12 games were brutal!

    Clark may set another record

    No, you've got it all wrong. It's Angel Reese, and maybe a little bit of CC. LOL.

    Every conference in the country's basketball record over the last 200 games

    Exactly. Brad Stephens was on NOBODY'S radar at that time. Was he the brains behind Butler's success? Of course and it's easy to say that now. The guy is really smart and has had a boatload of success. But it's really farcical to come on this board and wish we would have selected him over...

    Scott D. And the Athletic

    It's worth the price of a subscription, IMO.

    Scott D. And the Athletic

    I try not to get too hyped up about recruiting because you never know who is really going to shine on the bigger stage. But it's hard not to get excited after reading that article. This staff has recruited quite well the past several classes. I hope we can take advantage of it. At the top of...

    Chima Chineke Envisions Success at Iowa

    Plano East HS is in the Dallas Metroplex. The quality of football there is insanely good. Tons of P5 college players from there and lots of NFL as well. As a three-star rated player he could easily be a four-star type player. Let's hope he blossoms in Phil's defense.

    Jackson Stratton QB

    Given his limited stats, I can't envision this guy being the next great Iowa QB. But you never know. Let Tim Lester work with him and see what develops. I think this is more about getting another body in the room. Like everyone else I'm sure he will be given the chance to compete for the...

    On this day ...

    Rick Barry was very successful shooting free throws underhanded. He lead the league in FT percentage in most years he was playing.

    Friday night game at UCLA

    That is exactly how KF feels about it. He has said that if he plays on Friday night, he prefers it to be a road game.

    Friday night game at UCLA

    I think KF is probably thinking about how the West Coast teams are going to handle the Midwest in November rather than the other way around.

    In-State RB Brevin Doll Chooses Iowa

    He can play up to four games and still redshirt. But, I could see them using him in the return game and other special teams play. Kind of like Cooper. Limited to what he did his freshman year and he was in on more and more special teams as the year went on.

    Iowa Football Adds WR Jacob Gill

    I know, not very impressive. But then I saw that he only played four games and was injured for the rest of the year. So, while still not setting the world on fire, not as bad it appears at first glance.

    Iowa's win over-under for '24 set at 7.5 (again)

    This is interesting. Not only Iowa's but a couple of others that stand out to be to be low. Wisconsin at 6 1/2 and Minnesota at 5 seem a little light. But having said that, I don't follow those teams and what they have returning, nor have I looked at their schedules. All good reasons why I...

    Ohio State QB Devin Brown

    We're not running the Wishbone here. Having a running QB doesn't mean he will run every second or third down in today's game. It means that you are mobile enough to scramble out of the pocket to avoid sacks and get an occasional first down with your feet. It is essential in college FB and the...

    IIRC, Sullivan has two years of eligibility remaining. At worst, he can complete with Cade this year. And might have to play even if he doesn't win the job. Then, he has a real shot of winning the job his final year. And that still leaves two years for Lainez.

    Sullivan is coming in today for his visit, leaving tomorrow. Where are you getting your info?

    I agree Wimsett could be interesting. Brad Heinrichs brought his name up on the podcast. I don't know how picky he can be though based on last year's results. He is probably either going to have to come into a backup job at a P5 school or go to a Group of 5 school if he wants to start. Also...
