Rob - Is it your feeling that the staff backs off of certain recruits based on the feedback they get from their due diligence or is that due diligence already done before they offer a kid? So then is it just position needs and the fact that some of those guys' positions have been filled by...

I guarantee Brecht ain’t coming to Iowa to play TE. He’ll be taking over for B Smith when he graduates.

I think the "Petras missed Spring Ball" is a bit overplayed. He's already been involved in 2 previous Springs, having been an early enrollee, and during the Holiday Bowl prep, it sounds like he got a lot of work with the 1's as well. I think given his make-up, we'll be just fine. My bigger...

I can't remember for certain, but I feel like I remember Max being somewhat of a fallback recruit. I know he was committed to a MAC team for a time....maybe Central Michigan? But I don't think he was a main target at the time. All of the WRs on our board now are primary targets.....any or all...

There are so many places to take this that I don't even know which one to start with! :)

Damn good player. We win Wisky and PSU if he’s healthy.

Boundary side has fewer defensive players. That’s pretty much the thought process.

Quarantines are way different than shutting down 96% of the country. I'm all in favor of quarantines in select hotspots and for people that test positive. But to go to the extreme of purposefully shutting down the country and forcing 22 million people and counting into unemployment is...

He's flat out wrong regarding the comment about "if it's not safe for plans then it's not safe for players". That's just wrong. You can easily test 200 players and staff and, assuming they all test negative, there's no reason you can't p How hard would it be to test or determine if...

It's crazy how we as a society just flat out over-react to everything. A couple people in a cave in Afghanistan get lucky and all of a sudden we have to practically strip naked to get on a plane. I'm pretty sure there's a better method to protect passengers than that. And now a virus that...

I think once the antibody tests are available, we're going to see that there were ALOT more asymptomatic infected people than we realized, which means the actual death rate isn't even close to as bad as we originally thought. In places that have antibody testing underway right now, they're...

He would have said "No" and still went to Oklahoma. He was using Iowa as leverage to get as much as he could out of Oklahoma. And I don't say that to be mean or vindictive. I would have done the same thing in his shoes.

You don't even have to go back that far. Drew Brees played at Purdue. That, by itself, should be enough to put Purdue in the Top 10. Hell, it's better than the 3 they list for Florida.

Nah, they'd be the 8 or the 9. We always end up facing them (and other national champs like Villanova and UConn) in the 2nd round.

To steal a line from Ricky Bobby's Big Red commercial.... If you don't wanna come to Iowa, then F you! :)

I respectfully disagree. JBo is most effective with the ball in his hands shooting off the dribble, not as a catch and shoot guy coming off screens.

Unless things get all messed up because of COVID 19, Luka and JW will both "declare" on or before 4/26. That will allow them to go thru the process of being evaluated, possibly getting invited to the combine, go thru individual workouts for teams, etc. Then I fully expect both of them to...

1. A "way too early" poll had Iowa at #7 in the country (assuming Garza JW, and JBo all return). Too high? Too low? Just right? 2. Luka's dad is sending twitter highlights of Luka's off season workouts to Hawkeye fans. Do you think that might be an early indication that Luka will return? 3...

1. Do you there's going to be college football this year? 2. There were some early lines released for @ PSU and @OSU.....Iowa +4 @ PSU and +14.5 @ OSU. Thoughts? 3. How much do you think having no spring practice will stunt Petras growth? Do you think he can make up lost ground in fall camp?

Interesting article that infers that maybe we don't need to be going to such draconian methods to "flatten the curve"... https://www.aier.org/article/south-korea-preseved-open-infection-rates-are-falling/
