Iowa has better NFL production as of late (and maybe has for a while now). But it's unfair to say they hardly put guys in the pros. It's simply not true.

Love the enthusiasm. But let a boy dream

CJF.. but, both.

Great point. Hope you’re right. To clarify, I agree that regardless of anyone’s expectations and any recruiting (star rating) analysis, Iowa continually churns out NFL DBs. I have no reason to believe that will change next year and that Matt Hankins and Julius Brents are “next”. The D line...

I like the optimism and I think we share the belief in Parker’s ability to develop a strong team defense, year after year. But without Geno, I don’t think it’s a top 20 defense. I see a lot of talent on the defensive backfield, with guys like Merriweather, Belton, Castro, Jacobs all trying to...

Do you include Jonathan Taylor in "nobody"? For the sake of the exercise, if he comes back to Wisconsin, I think they're still favored. But if everyone comes back to Iowa... I like our odds.

The net outcome of the Lattimore play was a win for Iowa. The play ended in a huge pass gain down to the 5 yard line, so the result of the penalty yardage was essentially +2.5 yards (half the distance). But that hit was the start of Slovis' exit from the game. FWIW, I am not in favor of anyone...

Slovis is incredible. He could be a 100 career TD guy. Playing a team like USC and learning about their players, you can’t help but look at recruiting and recruiting class rankings. Point being, it’s incredible to see the former 3* recruits dominating across college football. Justin Jefferson...

USC’s 2020 recruiting class is indeed disappointing. But to clarify, they only had 12-13 spots open for new scholarship players (next year)... so they only signed 12-13 guys. This is admittedly strange and not a good sign either. But for this reason, their recruiting class is ranked “last in the...

So true. Can you really blame a kid for wanting to leave the state of Iowa for college? It just stinks when it's to a regional rival/power like Michigan, OSU, KU basketball, etc.

Excited about all of them. Hopeful that Jones thrives/enjoys Iowa right away and we can really start working that pipeline... next target Thomas Fidone. Would be another great get, but I see 247 shows a Nebraska lean.

Drooling over that team and potential lineups. It's obviously assuming that everybody is back (no transfers and Garza stays). I also think everyone could come back and improve again with another off season, especially Wieskamp, Fredrick, Toussaint, both McCafferys, and Nunge. I don't know if...

Agreed - I've been wondering what transpired with Mack and why we changed course. And I think we all have great reason to be excited about this entire '20 group. But I do wish we had a little more pop at WR. Between Vines, Lawson, and Matthews, I sure hope they develop into star playmakers and...

Anyone know how Jace's senior season played out?

I think he already signed LOI

Sure hope he's back next year. This whole discussion is a good snapshot of the complicated nature of modern college basketball. It sure makes you wonder - what is the "best" model for a college program today? The short answer is that it depends on the program. Iowa is not Kentucky. But we...

"Garza will have a decision to make at the end of this year" - Dan Dakich

What are you hearing on the out of state options? Nebraska lean? Mutual Pac12 interest? The 3-4 edge position preference is sure interesting. But I would think that a kid is his position would be flexible to position-change conversations. I know we all love the idea of "TE U", but Iowa puts...

I'm not a fan of the diarrhea brown seats

Saban is 151-23 in his 13 years at Alabama. Take out his lost 6 losses in 2007 (his first year), and he's lost 17 games in 12 years.
