Disagree 100%. You said Moulton could hypothetically move and step into a starting spot in a lot of different programs right now. I think what you meant is that he could do that for bottom half big 10 teams. That's my point, that's not the kind of RB we need (to be clear, we 100% want him on...

Totally agree. But even if we could perfectly understand the competitive landscape of NIL accounting and fundraising across different programs, there is also certainly a "program" factor. And I think it weighs heavily for all of these guys. Whether an upperclassmen (on our roster) who could...

Moulton is a fine fine player and I'm glad he's wearing our colors. He would not start for Oregon, OSU, Michigan, Penn State. He likely wouldn't even play. Kaleb would start for those schools (or at the VERY least would've been a big contributor).

Not sure if you're joking here. Braelon Allen for one. Chez Mellusi is another (albeit a guy who was setup with really tough injuries). Jalen Berger is another. Long before them: Jonathan Taylor, Melvin Gordon, Montee Ball, James White, Corey Clement. TLDR: Iowa gets one guy per decade in...

To be clear, I'm trying to take a totally different approach here. Instead of pretending like we're going to go get an awesome QB and revolutionize how we think about our passing game, what if we just get better at what we actually can do well? Again, I agree that we have good talent at RB...

We certainly have talent on the roster, but that totally misses the point. The point is that we have 15 years of data which shows that we are not going to get much production from the QB or passing game. With this in mind, what do we want from our running game? Do we want to head into next...

I'm not seeing much talk about RB as one of our portal needs and I think that's a mistake. I understand why QB has been the bigger talking point. But isn't it glaringly obvious that we need a great RB in our offense at Iowa? Think about how mediocre our offense would have been this year without...

That we can successfully recruit them? Fairly confident That they will perform / exist in our system and become "All Conference": Zero chance

Looks like a great athlete. I love how our staff and DB recruiting has progressed to find these guys with a great range of athleticism, quickness, and power. Reminds me of Jaylen Watson and John Nestor. We will have a good base of DB talent in the coming years.

I was hoping for a little RPO... but I guess "RBO" is a start.

It's important to deep dive on what exactly "player development" means at the QB position. I typically think of it in a few key categories, such as: 1) Knowledge of Offense, Understanding, playbook 2) Throwing development, accuracy, technique 3) Quarterbacking mechanics, footwork, ball...

This feels like I'm stupidly taking the bait, because you're just trolling at this point. You think KP is a touch overrated? You think Wirfs was maybe a better prospect and/or further along when he was a college Freshman or Sophomore? Fine, make your case and let's think about it. But you...

I actually think a lot of people are wildly underestimating how good Proctor is and how good he will be. A lot of people (a lot of dumb Alabama fans) are talking shit and saying that he struggled and was not up to the task. I think he's a future #1 overall pick in the NFL draft type of player...

Agreed. Which is really strange, because the recruiting analysts don't typically do that for normal (HS) recruits. They're incentivized to not guess wrong.

I'm curious about the Crystal Ball predictions for Iowa on 247 sports from these national recruiting analysts. There is a significant wave of these experts picking Iowa... but I still haven't seen any kind of announcement in the media or hint that he's coming home. Are these recruiting experts...

Fascinating debate indeed. I used to have the very strong opinion that the Hayden Fry way is correct and that Kirk's philosophy is flawed. The hypothesis is that Kirk's obsession with consistency breeds a mediocre coaching staff. I still think this, but I realize now how much nuance there is in...

I think we all know the infamous press conference question where Brian Ferentz was asked about switching things up at QB and he responded, "why? What's the upside?" That line and that moment will live in a dark part of my brain for a long time hahaha. And there have been a few painful moments...

"to the point of mediocrity" - so accurate. Make us dream, Paul!

We now have an (interim) AD in place that probably won't let this happen. We are past the good old boy days for Kirk to bring in "his guy"

Jack's statement and the nature of this headline seem clear enough... but who knows? I bet he doesn't either. As weird as it might seem, maybe he will actually end up at Iowa. And this doesn't necessarily mean that Fran will leave. If there is a strong chance he signs with Iowa and plays for...
