    You're the GM - 2026 Roster Edition

    I like him but he doesn’t really have any skill set that sets himself apart from the existing guys with the exception of maybe running a little more violent but his issue has been he can’t stay healthy. The opportunities would have been there with Moulton missing time but he has been banged up...

    You're the GM - 2026 Roster Edition

    Possibly but unfortunately they weren’t on the team to find out. Not sure what the availability of CBs will be once the portal goes full swing and if Iowa is willing to spend premium money on one. I know they like some of the younger guys and they have some decent size. In today’s game it is...

    transfer portal news

    With how weak the draft class is this year and how well Purdy has done I’m kind of surprised he isn’t entering the draft. Not sure what he gets from NIL maybe it’s worth it for him to stay the extra year.

    You're the GM - 2026 Roster Edition

    For the most part though RPO is taken out of play on 3rd and long or obvious passing downs and that is where Iowa really didn't perform as well as they have in the past. When they were forced to blitz 1 or more guys to get pressure it is a lot of stress on that back end to cover regardless of...

    You're the GM - 2026 Roster Edition

    I'm sure that like most organizations the staff has X amount of money to give out each year. How much of that has any leeway on a year to year basis I don't know. I thought most of the caches just got a raise a few years ago but I could be wrong. Unfortunately like most places the pool of...

    Washington in the Portal

    First one to go. Not unexpected. Wish him luck

    You're the GM - 2026 Roster Edition

    I agree but it all starts upfront as well. If we can't get pressure with the 4 then we are screwed and that hurt us a lot this year as opposed to years in the past where we could get pressure rushing just the front 4. Our run defense was not as strong as in the past as well. Graves did okay...

    Creighton vs Xavier FS1 5:30

    Just my opinion as I was never around to see how they practiced but my impression of Freeman after his freshman year was he got lazy. Coming into the sophomore year he put on some bad weight and he could carry it very well and I don't think he wanted to work all that hard to get into shape...

    You're the GM - 2026 Roster Edition

    if things stay the way they are I would look for interior DL I think we need depth and a big body guy. Secondary depth and a WR with return experience would be my priority. I think you look at all positions but only add those if it is a good fit. I also think you need an experienced kicker...

    LeVar to Michigan State

    He was at the Browns and Baltimore as well even though it was the same organization as well as Pitt early on. So he has moved and also moved to experience the professional ranks while not a head coach he still got the experience and setup those relationships. Coaching is a crazy profession...

    You're the GM - 2026 Roster Edition

    Too early to say without knowing who is staying or going. It could all change in a few weeks and could be more drastic needs based on who is leaving. As of now I don't think QB is a need but you still shop. If for instance Brown decides to enter the portal then that changes things...

    LeVar to Michigan State

    How much longer is KF going to coach at Iowa realistically? I don't see them extending his contract so 2029 at the latest in my opinion. Do you really think Woods would have that opportunity at a school at the level of Iowa in that period of time if MSU Is successful? Maybe once he leaves...

    LeVar to Michigan State

    I think it's a possible scenario that Beth/KF have had conversations with Levar that if he is interested in becoming a head coach it would be beneficial for him to go to other places and learn. It's not like Kirk stayed in one place and in fact it is really common in coaching to move around...

    LeVar to Michigan State

    I hate to see him go but probably a good thing if he wants to be the head coach to get some experience in a different spot. I really hope to see him at Iowa again hopefully as Kirk's replacement.

    Effed up playoff system

    Ultimately I think what needs to happen is getting rid of two non-conference games at least and then the larger conferences go back to divisions within the conference to determine who play each other in the conf championship game. I would almost lean towards not having the conference game but...

    Pavia

    He is a good player and doesn't get rattled very easily on the field and his teammates seem to like playing with him. I think he could play at the next level but he would have to be in the correct system and have some pieces around him. He is not a guy that you can build an organization...

    Moore Gone at Michigan....

    There was one report I saw that it may not just the AD going. Sounds like there has been a big push to try and fix the tainted public image of Michigan over the last few years. Some report I saw said that Biff may be a Bridge coach until next year to allow the University to fix everything...

    Sounds like Riola is Headed to the Portal....

    The real question that I haven't seen answered is his "price" just for him or is he asking for his uncle and brother to be a package deal? That could also greatly affect things if that is the case.

    Sounds like Riola is Headed to the Portal....

    Don't see him going to Oregon with the guy they have and I don't think Lanning wants that drama. Mizzou may be a good fit for him. I don't see him sticking in the BIG10 but maybe Fitz gives him a look at MSU, they have a lot of money

    Moore Gone at Michigan....

    I believe I read that as well looking at lack of institutional control similar to what they nailed USC with.
