IMO the race thing is the biggest factor. Not a lot of black athletes, especially ones form more urban areas, are going to want to play with a bunch of goofy-*** white kids like woodbury, gessel, uthoff, etc. They can relate better to the black players at other schools, and IMO that is a big...

Article where Hilliard discusses each of his top 5 schools: http://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio-state-football-recruiting/2014/05/35976/cincinnati-st-xavier-star-justin-hilliard-breaks-down-top-five What he says about Iowa: "Iowa just sent all three of their linebackers to the NFL last...

Woody is going to be a very good player for Iowa by the time he's done. He's already a pretty good defender, and at times he was the only Iowa player showing any kind of heart or emotion out there. He showed flashes of how good he could be at the end of the season- he's got good post moves, and...

Fiedorowicz has turned himself into a very good run blocker, probably one of the best in his draft class. He had some lapses here and there last season, but overall I thought he did a great job. Most scouting reports you read on him would likely say the same thing.

Would be very surprised if Kornbrath takes the PK spot from Koehn. Koehn has all the tools to be a very good kicker at Iowa. Much bigger leg than we have had in a while, that is for sure.

Responding to a couple posts in this thread: - Very, very slim chance Gilson starts. He is strictly a MLB, and Alston all but has that spot wrapped up. Alston is at his best in the middle. Alston, Perry, and Spearman look to be the likely starters (unless Spearman grows into a DE). -...

Powell can't be used as an every down receiver because he is small and can't block. The main areas he is going to be successful are underneath stuff where he can make people miss (but this is where our talented TE's operate, not much room for Powell here), deep balls (with a quarterback who...

I highly doubt the committee is going to spend much time stewing over Iowa's non-conference schedule. If Iowa wins @Wisc, @MSU, and @OhioSt (highly unlikely), do you really think the committee is going to say "Yeah, but who did they beat in the non-conference..."? If Iowa gets a couple signature...

Aaron Craft is one of my favorite college basketball players in recent memory. He is what college athletics are supposed to be about. Does he get calls based off his reputation? Absolutely. But he has earned that reputation over the last 3 years. He is one of the best players in college...

4 star QB's in back to back classes (long ways to go for Beneventi, I suppose). Very nice.

Re: People are listening to DJK Lol, that "JuCo" player appears to be a kid from Bettendorf who originally committed to D-II Missouri Western. If he was going to play at Iowa after JuCo, it certainly wasn't going to be on scholarship. Who cares?

Trevon Young has committed to Louisville. Damn. If we strike out on Young and Hendrick that is going to sting.

From what I have seen we are still active in recruiting JuCo DE's Hendrick and Young OL- Wallace LB- Elijah Lee (K-State commit) WR- Jennings I have no idea if we are still recruiting Wiegers, and have no idea if Wiegers is still interested in Iowa after the Beneventi commitment. I assume if...

I could think of at least half a dozen calls that went against Iowa that were complete bull****. For example, the foul against Stokes when he went in at the end of the first half- he beat Niang to the spot, stood straight up with both arms vertical, Niang lowers his shoulder and runs into...

I don't understand why people keep assuming Powell would be some dynamite kick returner. He didnt return kicks at Juco, and he won't return kicks here. It takes more than just speed to be a good returner. Canzeri would be the favorite to return kicks next year, IMO.

We don't need any. This team is going to win 25 games and will be a lock for the NCAA tournament. I suppose this game could be the difference between a 6 seed and a 4 seed, but in the grand scheme of things it really doesn't matter.

SUPER BOWL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO PWOUD! HILTON MAGIC!!!!

Yes Iowa choked down the stretch. But I think it's pretty obvious they are the better team than Iowa State. Pretty bad officiating, and some unlucky bounces cost them. It happens. This is still a very good team that will finish in the top 4 or 5 of the B1G and has a chance to do some serious...

Re: Official Iowa vs. ISU Game Thread A good majority of the calls against Iowa have been questionable. Niang is allowed to lower his shoulder and truck our guys out of the way, and we stand there straight up and still somehow pick up the foul.

The way I understand it is current players can communicate with the recruit through social media but can not make any mention of the recruit and any potential connection to the school. Could be wrong though.
