We are the perfect destination for him if there is one. Lack of experienced depth, get to stay in the B1G and come to a team that likes to run and produces good RB's with good OL. Won't believe it until he steps foot on the playing field though.

I said "a bit".
Looking through twitter. Athlonsports has an article mentioning Iowa and where Penn State players should transfer.

That is impossible to read. WTF was athlon thinking with the stupid background.

Silas Redd is not coming to Iowa.
My point on 2010 isn't that there were players available, only that I am not of the mindset that Iowa had the players and just underachieved. As soon as Gettis and MacMillan went down Iowa went into a tailspin.
Now, would there have been a JUCO guard that Iowa could have signed as depth in case one of the line starters went down? Maybe, but it is hard to tell in retrospect.
Now, I would say that they should have done something at LB. That spot was obviously thin and you could have promised a transfer that at least he would get ST reps and most likely game reps.

If we get this guy can we make a stupid billboard since his name is close to Iowa State's AD's name?

I don't think so either, but it was a name of an upperclassman that in the past I would have been shocked if Kirk pursued. But recent changes make me think they might at least place a call.

This has to be somewhat ackward for Ferentz. Both O'Brien and Ferentz are close to Bill Bellicek. And Brian F. was an assistant at New England last year with O'Brien.

I didn't say you don't get past it. I think in the past Ferentz may have been hands off and not pursued PSU players, but the new staff seems much more aggressive in competing for recruits.

This. Its no secret Iowa has some needs (i.e.--RB and DL).

Awesome tweet from a USC fan:
William L. Braude Jr @WBraudeJr
If I was Silas Redd, I'd be out of state college ASAP and on the next flight to SoCal. No point in playing if you cant win a championship.
