247 Sports ranks this kid as a top 150 player nationally, a solid 4*. Their scouts call him a terrific athlete with good speed.

Holy smokes you are going to eat crow on this one.

Honestly hard to keep track of all the NCAA rules at this point. No worries. Hopefully the wait will be worth it for Nunge. I’ve always been high on him but we have yet to really see it.

I think the question would moreso be do we have an available scholarship? I imagine they can figure it out though.

Not to get too far ahead of myself here, but if you plug him into the DLine: Golston- 6’5 / 270 Nixon- 6’3 / 309 Heflin- 6’4 / 319 Waggoner- 6’5 / 270 That should be a very strong unit against the run. So much so that you really wouldn’t have to worry about how much you play 4-2-5. With those...

Correct he was a redshirt sophomore. https://niuhuskies.com/sports/football/roster/jack-heflin/6847

Looks like he’s also following Coach Doyle on twitter as well. There is going to be a lot of interest here but again given how big of an Iowa fan it appears he is, you would have to like our chances if we go for him.

Hello there.

Good news. Now I’m trying to figure out who told me Nunge couldn’t get a 6th year so I can make them eat crow. :)

There was an ESPN article that ranked him as a Top 10 returning interior Dlinemen in all of college football for next year. Unless we can’t make the scholarship situation work I see no reason why we aren’t all in on this kid.

Just entered the portal. Apparently grew up an Iowa fan in a family full of Hawkeyes. Coach Bell started following on Twitter. He’s listed at 6’4/319 and Pro Football Focus has him has an Honorable Mention All American last year. He was 2nd Team All MAC. I’m not entirely sure what our...

Interesting on the first part, I hadn’t heard that. Even if we had Eno we would have been substantially better last couple years. But on the second part I respectfully disagree. Despite what perception is of Iowa’s offensive line, we simply haven’t been good enough regardless of who was at RB...

Until proven otherwise, I don’t think the question mark for Iowa football can be defense. Especially with PP back there. Still plenty of talent/experience around on defense. Golston, Nixon, Colbert, Niemann, Hankins, Koerner, Belton, Waggoner, Evans, Brents, Moss, Shulte, Shannon, Johnson...

Where are you coming up with that Jonathan Taylor thing? 247 reports no interest or offer from Iowa. Also Wadley, L Daniels, and Butler all had at least a cup of coffee in the NFL. While I agree we haven’t had the RBs Wisconsin has, I still maintain that doesn’t tell the whole story. Wisconsin...

The good news is Oline recruiting seems to be on the up and up. I think Elsbury in the 2020 class is an absolute stud and then this years class is going to be a top 3 Oline class of any team in the country. Colby had an Ohio State offer, Davidkov had an Ohio State offer. Stephens had an LSU...

The thing is though, this is far from a one year problem, this is a trend. Go back and look at Iowa’s running stats over the last ten years. With supposedly a great Oline tradition school and coach, that simply doesn’t add up, even if Pewee Herman was playing Runningback.

The biggest problem with the zone scheme in my mind is the amount of negative plays it produces. If you run a run play on first down for a loss of yardage it’s absolutely devastating to being able to play winning football. Those still holding onto zone blocking always site the NFL. But man...

I think our lines have been vastly overrated to be quite honest. Either that or the zone blocking scheme has just been past by. I think it’s probably been a little of both. Scheme doesn’t mean much for a RB, if you can play you can play. Have we had the RB talent of Wisconsin? No, but you...

For some reason people forget that this is the same Minny team who beat FCS South Dakota State 28-21, Fresno State 38-35 in 2OT, and Georgia Southern 35-32 last year in the non conference. At home with a chance to go to the B1G championship they got abused by Wisconsin. I’m of the personal...
