It's important to note that Bishop Gorman is not exactly a run of the mill high school. Sanchez goes to UNLV with experience recruiting on a national level even if only to a high school. BG has a bunch of players in multiple sports that were recruited from all over the nation.

Actually, when you account for pace of play, Baylor has a top 25 defense by many metrics.

There are three major questions I have that I believe will define the running back competition for 2015. 1. How quickly will Daniels bounce back from his injury? A fractured ankle that required surjury could take a long time for Daniels to recover from, and he may never be the same back he was...

This is a fantastic first commitment for the '17 class. Hopefully he made the right choice and will stick by it. There's more than 26 months until signing day, so it's probably best to remain cautiously optimistic. If he does stay commited and ultimately signs with Iowa, the '17 class could...

My top choice would be Dana Holgorsen. Four reasons--in order--I really like Holgorsen for Iowa: 1. He's an innovative, offense-first coach, and Iowa has seen the best days in program history (in the '20's, '50's, '80's, and '00's) when they have been among the nation's best offenses. 2. He...

"We played like fat cats. I thought we looked like fat cats, and they looked like a hungry team. That is my responsibility. That is certainly not the identity we're looking for as a football team." --Kirk Ferentz, following a loss to Northwestern, November 2006

"'People dig fullbacks in the NFL. People in the NFL will really appreciate what he does.' That’s a quote from Kirk Ferentz in October of 2014, just a few weeks ago." This statement from KF is factually inaccurate. Nearly every analysis of the fullback position is that it's a dying position in...

FWIW, here is what Iowa's Davis-led offense would be dealing with against Ole Miss's D: 539237952111390720

You serious? Ole Miss is a top-5 team in several computer rankings. Even without Treadwell, Iowa would be a 14+ point underdog on a neutral field.

Seems like it would be very similar to the '10 game between 7-5 Iowa and 10-2 Missouri. The major difference is that this Iowa team doesn't have nearly the talent that Iowa team did.

Right, he walked at Iowa, but he didn't start his career at Iowa. He started his career as a scholarship player at Air Force.

I'm not sure I understand exactly how Weisman is eligible for this award. I don't think he "started his career as a walk-on." I though when he was at Air Force (the start of his career), he was on scholarship.

Don't sleep on Cooper, either. He was ahead of both Johnson and Ekakatie before his injury this year. He should be hungry for his final season on campus.

Comparable to Kansas, Kentucky, and Indiana. Yes, there are some major differences between the history of the Iowa program and the history at the state schools in those places, but I don't think racial makeup of the fanbase is that big of a deal to recruits.

I think Iowa will lose to Wisconsin and beat Nebraska. I see Gordon having another huge game (225+ yards) and killing Iowa on the edges. I think it will take at least 38 points to beat Wisconsin, and I just don't think Iowa has it in them this week. Against Nebraska, I think Iowa will win the...

FWIW, when using only 247Sports' rankings, rather than 247Sports' Composite rankings (the Composite is 247Sports' attempt to provide an average ranking for each player based on his ranking on Scout, Rivals, ESPN, and 247), Iowa's class is ranked 10th in the Big Ten and 51st in the nation.

Just double-checked, and it does look like Nate Robinson was the last player 5'9" or shorter to leave college early and get drafted, so Ulit would definitely be a statistical anomaly if he were to do the same. However, Ulis is still just 18, so it's not unreasonable for him to grow another inch...

Nate Robinson is the guy that comes to mind first, but I'll look it up.

And when/if the Harrisons go pro after this year, Ulis and Briscoe can share time at PG next year, just as Ulis and Andrew Harrison are sharing time this year. Ulis is really, really good. He's going to get consistent minutes, even at Kentucky. Edit: I would go so far as to say that I think...
