Interesting. I reads tweets of the press conference from a different source and thought let’s go Barta! Kinnick will be open and the hope is to get to 100% capacity. Tailgating will go on. Kind of a different vibe here but I guess it’s all a matter of perspective. Go hawks!

Of those 58, likely over 50 had at least one pre-existing medical condition (compared to college football players, who typically are very healthy). Now as Rob mentioned in the article there are other “parties” involved here with older coaches and support staff etc. Personally I’m confident...

Well said

I’m not buying the IKM comparison who mostly played in garbage time his first year. Tyler Goodson came in as a true freshman and beat out three RBs with experience. Click on this tweet and go through this thread. Tyler Goodson has legit talent.

I think both he and Nixon start and play the majority of the snaps. The interesting thing is while both are over 300 pounds both guys seem pretty athletic. I’m excited for the potential there.

I’d like to have a beer with Keith Duncan’s dad.

I had heard he was playing inside but I’m not sure how much weight he’s been able to put on. I’m high on him as well. Maybe with Heflin he will stick outside. It sounds like Kelvin Bell really wants his Dline to be versatile enough to play both spots so we shall see how that plays out. I’m...

Bump. I think Iowa has a chance to have as many as 7/8 guys drafted next year. A Jackson Golston Cronk Heflin Hankins Ihmir Smith-Marsette Brandon Smith Potential early entrants: Linderbaum (a recent mock had him round 1) Nixon

I think Waggoner has the leg up. He has the size so be a good run stopper on early downs, I heard they were toying with kicking him inside (prior to adding Heflin). So he can stop the runs on early downs then we bring in a pass rushing package with Evans on third and distance.

It’s like making two very good free agent signings. Much needed when we’ve had to replace tons of early NFL attrition the last few years. The nice thing is Cronk and Heflin will both likely hear their names called in the NFL draft with an Iowa next to it so it adds to the the Iowa NFL Draft...

I don’t think it can be understated how big our two transfer pickups are this year. A 325 pound offensive tackle with 40 career starts at a B1G school and now a 319 pound defensive tackle that was an honorable mention All American last year by PFF despite playing only 9 games. Football is a...

It’s a done deal boys, Heflin is in. Massive massive pickup for Iowa.

In fairness Garza did have a Louisville and Notre Dame offer.

They don’t adjust the ratings that often. It’s possible that this was rivals update after the high school season. This thread was originally started about 247 sports post season updates, so it’s two different sites.

Agree. The safety spot looks really good with Belton/Bracy/DeJean in consecutive classes. Bracy was getting some high SEC interest after committing. DeJean currently rated top 150 by 247. We just have to trust PP to figure out the corner spot. I’ve been high on Brents so hopefully he stays...

Not to steal Rob’s thunder her but I did see that ISM and Tyrone Tracy were working out with Marvin Mcnutt the other day. Thought that was pretty cool.

In all seriousness, remember when Fran couldn't recruit guards? With Joe T and Fredrick looking like they should have solid careers and a 4* PG/Combo coming in, it’s possible we are a guard oriented team in a couple years. Who knows, then we will probably be complaining that Fran has no great...

I agree with your statement here. I don’t think that tweet helped him at all like he thought it would. Now people want to know what the issue is. Kind of similar to one of Barta’s recent PR blunders where he said something that just created tons of more speculation.

Well I guess I called that one. At least according to DJ this isn’t a playing time issue. We likely won’t ever know the real reason but it stinks to lose a guy like that with talent and some experience.
