Iowa takes definitely a different approach to recruiting. Some of which is by necessity. They build and develop. Thus, they tend to look through the optics of maybe not a 5 star athlete in football, but potentially a 3 star athlete who is a multiple sport athlete. Look at a lot of our linemen...

He told the media early on he will not address any questions regarding other coaching positions and stated he instructed his agent that he would not speak to anyone who desired to speak to him until after his season was complete.

I think we dodged a bullet with Proctor. Lots of red flags. Many of which KF chose not to share, but IF he would have bought in to the system, put his nose to the grindstone, but I get you, he would have definitely made us better, and I'm guessing would have helped his draft stock.

Honestly, who knows. Do Beth and KF actually have a good working relationship? After all, Beth was the AD who sent Brian packing. There may be this low key grudge that KF holds, or even some animosity by Beth knowing KF still runs the show and has the political power to hold his own til he...

From what I know his story is even better. Iowa was actually going to watch another teammate and saw him and actually ended up offering him instead. Love seeing stories like this where we take a kid and let him buy into our culture and program and they reap the rewards.

I forgot both Dotzler and Jones had some decent playing time. That is definitely a breath of fresh air. Dotzler, Jones, Pieper and Lauk all have some level of experience. Would love to see Allgeyer take the next step. You make a very serviceable O-line out of those guys and I don't see much drop...

I think we also have 3 receivers coming in with this next class. One is a transfer out of Florida from UCLA. But I am thinking we will be in pretty good shape next season. I would like to see a healthy Dayton Howard and RVZ next year at the wideouts. Both have size. IF Hecklinski can get it to...

He was very close to Franklin from reports I hear. Maybe he bails for VaTech? He seems to be getting the bridesmaid treatment. AND if they do hire someone else, he may not be guaranteed a position. I'm guessing he might have a contingency plan.

I think if KF was younger, it might be a possibility. However, he was a Pitt guy. He might actually have a low key disdain for Penn State. LOL. I think he has made Iowa home and I know Mary and he share a love of the university and hospitals. I don't think even if he was 20 years younger he...

He has joked before Mary has "to do lists" and apparently besides grilling, KF isn't too skillful around the house. He knows one thing-coaching football. He even joked he is terrible at golf. I think it truly shows his passion for the game, coaching, and being around young athletes. I would...

Even better!

I will be curious if any of these incoming freshman will see the field. A few look like they could step in. I think there are a couple that are like 6'4 300+. Would love to see this. At minimum, potentially see them as part of the rotation.

I think recruiting had an uptick this year. Granted with the NIL, you never know, but if he leaves after 2027, this class would be juniors and if they are intact and continue to develop, that doesn't leave the cupboard bare like he inherited. We piece together an offensive line, we still have...

Just talked to a buddy, and is friends with the Luke Brewer, the tight end commit from Norwalk, and allegedly KF told he and his family he anticipates being there "at least for the next couple of years" which would be the end of his contract in 2027. Granted it could be a recruiting speech, but...

https://magazine.foriowa.org/story.php?ed=true&storyid=2552 Matt Bowen was the former player who was struggling with fatherhood. (Credit to Hawkeye Hypnosis for the link)

Watched it, and definitely shows what KF has done beyond the football field. I think Greenway speaking to how KF and staff showed up at his father's funeral unannounced to show respect. Can't remember what player it was but a former player struggling with his newborn being born on the spectrum...

Potentially another spot for Penn State to have to compete against for a coach. Awesome. LOL.

The saying "Careful what you ask for," bodes big here. We have been very blessed with KF and his staff building a culture and continuity. Iowa has an identity. Coaches when asked about Iowa laud them about their ability to do more with less and being a fundamentally sound team. Former...

Some of it is arrogance. Thinking that their program was so elite that it would be enticing to so many coaches. As Fry mentioned, someone like Matt Campbell (if he decided to jump ship) would be run out of town if he won 21 games over 3 years. Much like Nebraska, I think Penn State's fan base is...

I don't believe Penn State had any recruits sign early and have the currently 129th ranked recruiting class. (Iowa is #23?). Franklin has already flipped 7 recruits from Penn State to VaTech. Unless, they have some dark horse big name coach they are waiting to hire, things are only getting...
