Okay I felt the need to clear the air on a couple of things I’ve seen in here. Honestly I thought it would be taken down. But the post was really about the posters I have interacted with on this site and such is this final response. For those saying “this was just DJK’s statement” are you...

This will be officially my last post at Hawkeye Nation. It’s been a pleasure posting with all of you and discussing hawkeye sports. I can’t support this website any further. This has nothing to do with what side of the spectrum you fall on, whether you want everyone on the coaching staffs head...

Fairly split results. Seems like most people believe the Murray’s are the top candidates to redshirt. Another interesting thing with them is you’d have to imagine barring injury they both redshirt to stay in the same class? I suppose it’s possible if Keegan is good enough to earn minutes he...

I just think anyone expecting him to be anything other than a poor to below average defender is likely to be wrong. I hope like heck I’m wrong though.

I don’t think 10-0 at home in this league is a reasonable expectation. You’re bound to have at least 1 or 2 stinkers. Heck we just as easily could have lost to Wisconsin, Rutgers, and Michigan at home last year, those were all grinds. I’m hoping Nunge, Pmac, and either Perkins or Ulis can...

Awesome stuff Rob!

I think we have tons of reason to be excited, but I think people are severely underestimating our defensive shortcomings. It’s very hard to win on the road in the B1G if you can’t play defense. Iowa won 2 B1G road games last year both against non tournament teams. They also lost to an abysmal...

I’ve said it before but I don’t think it can be understated how big it was adding those two as grad transfers, especially given our early departures to the NFL. We return plenty of experience on both sides of the ball. Offense: ISM, Smith, Tracy, Goodson, Sargent, Jackson, Linderbaum, Cronk...

I still think Belton moves back to safety for Stone. Why would he not want to be an every down player? As much as we say we are sticking to the cash, you aren’t playing a 4-2-5 when Wisconsin is hammering away on the ground. Therefore I don’t think Merriweather really sees a lot of time unless...

I updated it.

Goodson should be able to handle a little more in between the tackle stuff with his added strength. Hopefully he and Belton maintained their speed as well.

Good thoughts. For what it’s worth I think Ulis is viewed as a combo guard who has enough size to play either guard spot. Quite frankly when the official heights come out I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s actually taller than Tony Perkins just based on eye test. I’ve heard people who say Tony is...

Iowa’s roster got updated on the website and as usual there were a few good weight gains. -Logan Lee 270 (was 251) -Dane Belton 200 (was 190) -Tyler Goodson 200 (was 190) -Karchinski 274 (was 253, I believe he’s working at DT so that makes sense) -Yahweh Jeudy 225 (was 201) -Desmond...

Yes my confidence level in any direction would be pretty low. It’s possible we could hear some buzz this summer that changes are opinion on certain guys.

Perkins athleticism would certainly be intriguing on this team. We don’t really have a slasher, and while Toussaint is fast and strong, he’s more below the rim while Perkins appears to have some above the rim ability.

I struggle with this one. On one hand if your were looking at positions to redshirt, Ulis and Perkins would make the most sense, but those two guys seem to be the highest regarded and college ready of the bunch. The Murray’s make some sense but they are also already one year removed from their...

This has been discussed a good amount already, and I’ll admit I stole the idea from TOS, but I wanted to put it to a poll to see what people were thinking.
