From what I have read and heard, these are the names of the most sought after remaining recruits for the Hawks 2017 Football Signing Class (ranked in my opinion of priority order of getting): 1. Oliver Martin - WR - 4 Star guy - between the Hawks, Michigan and Notre Dame 2. Kendrick Green - DL...

Remember in the season opener last year when New Kirk faked a FG and got a standing ovation from the crowd? I think Iowa needs to come out with that same mentality for the entire game tonight. You have a National stage and over 60 potential recruits in attendance - if there ever was an...

# 6 Houston plays at Cincinnati tonight - I expect HOU to win, but could be competitive game # 7 Stanford plays USC on Saturday - I think STAN wins easily, but USC has a ton of athletes #10 Louisville plays # 2 FSU on Saturday - I expect FSU to win #12 MSU plays at # 18 Notre Dame on Saturday -...

Iowa's 2017 Football recruiting class currently has 15 commitments and is ranked somewhere in the 15-20 range Nationally. There is a good possibility that the Hawks could sign as many as 7 more recruits to the 2017 class to finish with 22 commitments. Here are the names that appear to be...

I know Jon still favors Phil Steele's preview, but in my opinion Lindy's is by far far my favorite to read. Great recruiting recaps for every member of the incoming class, overall player rankings, top 10 unit rankings and 3 full All Big 10 teams. Here are a few Hawkeye predictions from this...

1. Beathard stays healthy all year long - CJ is a playmaker and a difference maker - as long as he is healthy and playing QB - I think the Hawks have a good shot to win every game on their schedule. 2. D-Line finds a consistent pass rush - would have been huge to get Drew Ott back for another...

Here is how I would rank the upcoming 2016 Football Opponents in terms of Difficulty in winning: 1. Michigan (Home) - Night game - could be College Game Day Matchup 2. Nebraska (Home) - They return a QB with plenty of experience 3. Wisconsin (Home) 4. Penn State (Away) 5. North Dakota State...

In the latest 2017 Class Rivals recruiting rankings - AJ Epenesa is now listed as the # 34 overall recruit in the country (4 Star). There are only 26 5 star recruits listed - I always thought the top 50 players to be 5 star recruits - regardless, I think AJ will rise even higher if he has a...

My opinion: Offense: QB - I think CJ will end up in a battle with JT Barrett for 1st Team All Big 10 OL - Sean Welsh will end up all Big 10 - at either Guard or Center TE - Some good TE's return in the Big 10 but I think Kittle can get 40+ catches, 500+ yards and 6+ TD's Defense DB - King...

I think Jok will be the first Hawk to average 20 a game since Haluska and give Iowa it's 4th straight year with a 1st Team All Big 10 performer. I think Jok should get a minimum of 15 shots a game and see plenty of games with him launching 20+ shots. He was told to work on his ball handling...

Got my first look at Athlon's 2016 Football Preview Magazine today. Here are a few Hawkeye related snipets from the Preview: Desmond King is a 1st Team All American pick Sean Welsh is a 2nd Team All American pick Josey Jewell is a 3rd Team All American Pick Hawks are pegged at # 20 in the...

Based on what I have heard and read, I think the 5 most likely true incoming freshman with a chance to play this Fall are: 1. C. Lattimore - DL - big time recruit - thin at DE and he might help supply a needed pass rush 2. K. Taylor - LB - most likely to see time at Special Teams 3. D. Young -...

Just saw on Twitter that Eno is tweeting that a new Hawk commit is on the horizon soon - love the fact that we have a high profile recruit in Texas that is helping lay the groundwork to possibly get other Texas recruits. Would be huge to get the QB Fields, his WR friend and the CB we have...

Year to Date Stats for committed Iowa Recruits: Class Nat'l Rank State Rank T. Cook 2016 71 (4*) 2 No Stats were readily available for Cook, but he is a top 100 recruit with a highlight reel of dunks and tons of athleticism. He has a big 10 ready body and figures...

Some of the more impressive stats for Iowa so far this season: National Rank: Turnover Margin: +11 6th Scoring Defense: 16.6 8th Rush Defense/Game: 101.4 9th Total Defensive Yards/Gm: 301 12th Interceptions: 13 13th Net Punting Average: 40.3 18th Punt...

With Michigan St. beating Purdue last night - in my opinion - here is Iowa's best path to possibly winning the Big Ten Tourney: 1. Iowa beats down NW on Saturday 2. Illinois beats Purdue at PUR this weekend - both teams are still living on the bubble, so it wouldn't surprise me if Illinois...

Adding on to my wish list of future BTN programming, I think it would be a great idea to produce “Best of Features†for each school in the Big 10. For example, instead of endlessly replaying the same “Best QB’s of the 2000’s†feature, BTN should produce a “Best of Iowa Series†for...

Linebacker CJ Hilliard would obviously be a huge get for the upcoming Football recruiting class. Just about every publication has CJ among their top 50 prospects and rated a 5 star recruit. The most recent names that I recall that landed at Iowa that were rated as 5 star recruits by at least...

Let me first say that I really enjoy certain features that the Big 10 Network runs, such as the Big 10 Elite programs (1985 Iowa Football as an example), Best of Features (QB’s of the 80’s as an example) and the All Time Greats Features (Nile Kinnick and Dan Gable as examples). I have...
