As a 49ers fan, I completely agree. You can get a great WR in any draft -- why draft for something you may need 2 years from now when you can draft immediate help at a position of need, plus get a punt return and kickoff return guy in the deal at no extra cost?

Thanks.

Regarding the D-backfield, I'm not sure Parker is looking for another CB....at the end of spring practice he named several backups who he mentioned had made real progress and were coming on. He talked about the progress of that group more than any other.

No. Iowa fans think he's a stud because he played well while leading Michigan to the Big Ten title. Period. He was indeed a 'miss' on Year 1. Will he be a 'miss' on Year 2? Likely, yes. Is Lainez better? Well, certainly running the ball, yes. Passing and running the offense? TBD. Would KF...

5 QBs in 5 years? In this day and age, that's pretty minimal. I'm quite sure that # would be one of the lowest in the BTen, from Ohio St. to Nebraska!

If he wrestles as he did on Saturday, agreed. I haven't watched a lot of freestyle, and after Saturday have a couple questions I hope folks can answer: 1) What are the deciding factors which determine as a result of passivity... a) one wrestler is given the choice of par terre; or b)...

Yeah, I've watched Brooks a lot over the years, and have generally not been that impressed. But DANG, he was a man possessed on Saturday. Never seen him wrestle so aggressively, and Taylor didn't know what hit him. Didn't see the Burroughs match.

It was awesome to see these two Iowa legends finally decide it on the mat. Seeded #2 and #4 respectively, Gilman and Lee sailed into the best-of-3 finals, trying to get a chance at an Olympic spot on the US team if they finish in the top 3 at an Olympic qualifier in 3 weeks in Turkey. As...

"Tony was one of our best players, but, he wasn't a big enough difference maker one way or the other...." Perkins literally CARRIED that team at times last season, and was primarily responsible for 3-4 Iowa wins -- at least.

I actually get the vibe from trying to read between the lines that the staff would LOVE to have someone jump Hill on the depth chart, but when you run an offense that refuses to include a single run play for your QB (other than QB sneaks), any player that stands as big and tall as Hill does in...

When I checked in on a few Kings games this past season, Keegan pretty much just stood around behind the 3-pt line and waited for somebody to pass it to him. Last night, he looked like a completely different player -- driving the lane, rebounding, (trying to) play defense vs Curry & Thompson --...

OK, since there was absolutely nothing remotely interesting about CC getting picked #1, a question: which aspect of her game will see the biggest drop-off in the WNBA, her scoring average or assist average? Or will there BE drop-offs?

Surprised. Hope she sticks.

Maybe the Mizzou coach has convinced him the Tigers are gonna be a juggernaut beginning next November, and he's going to be the catalyst who becomes as popular as Caitlan Clark and he'll get tons of commercial endorsements and appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated. (OK, dated myself with...

I think the key phrase here is "single other occasion where this has happened". It's also not likely you could find a situation where: * A coach's son is treated and recovers from thyroid cancer at age 13; * He goes on to become a 4-star rated player & commits to play for his father; *...

Damn.

I always try to put myself in the shoes of my opponents and see things from their perspective: * There's not a single WR on Iowa's roster which creates a challenge for my defense. * I love facing pro-style QBs who can't run; and love facing offenses which include no running plays for...

I had to chuckle watching video of today's practice. QBs were throwing simple 15-20 yd down-and-out passes to WRs, with no defenders. Completed 1 of their first 7. Passes high, passes low, WRs dropping balls. Un Fucking Believable. Looked like the first day of a h.s. practice. Reminded me of...

The problem with Hannah playing the 4 is that she can't shoot worth a damn outside 3 ft of the basket. If you match her up with O'Grady at the 5, granted, Hannah is more likely to arguably get more rebounds and 'put back' offensive rebounds off other Hawkeyes' shots because the opponent's 5...

Really appreciate your two posts. It's not as simple as folks on both sides of this issue make it out, and you clarify why. Just excellent posts.
