Good read on Iowa QB commit Nic Shimonek
- Thread starter JonDMiller
- Start date
We better give up on running backs then since all the rb's like to leave for one reason or another and don't pan out.

I have no idea if Ertz will be worth a crap or not. However, looking at HS stats no matter where they come from is dumb for QBs. You have to look at the tape, their mechanics and decision making. Ertz may be really good at those things which is why he had good stats or it could be bad competition or both. I'm just saying tough to judge by stats. Of course I'm not a HS football talent evaluator either so I don't know how to judge most of these things.

A school can tell a kid they will give him a look at QB...and do so..and then the kid sees he's not gonna play QB there and can go to the position the staff pretty much pegged him for when he came there, or leave. Ertz isn't gong to be a QB at Kansas State

It is what it is. Knowing what I do about SE Iowa HS football, I'm not unhappy the most important position in football is not being targeted in SE Iowa. I apologize if this offends you. But it doesn't change my way of thinking. As I said, I wish the kid well. And if he ends up being a great QB at KSU, good for him. The importance of the position would lead me somewhere else.

Doesn't offend me at all. I'm from SE IA and know the competition isn't real great, but each player is an individual talent. I don't think I would necessarily want to go looking for a LB in SD or a DE in nowhwere, nebraska that play 8-man, but sometimes you get that rare kid that has the talent level. Kids generally can't help where they are born and raised, so they play where they are and with the talent around them. I'm not saying Iowa will ever find a stud player in SEIA, but they could. Just depends on the kid.
I generally wouldn't have said that the bball talent was great in SEIA either but Jess Settles tore it up and did well at Iowa. Very different I know, but you can't always judge by the area a player comes from.
Ah gotcha. I hadn't heard of him but just looked him up. He looks like an athlete for sure. KSU has some qbs on the roster it'll be a battle for the job there.
Any evidence behind that or just your gut feeling?

This is hysterical. Fans from a state that at most produces 5 legit D-1 players per year is dissing a part of the state. Wow. Comedy Central.

It is not Davis' offense, it is Kirk Ferentz' offense. Vandy would have been in the shotgun no-huddle the last two years if it was not Kirk Ferentz offense...
Hopefully Nic can learn to be a drop back QB. Otherwise his talents will be wasted...

Any chance Nic can get here for the start of the spring semester? Or any of the other recruits....
Bingo! KF wants his offense to be ran a specific way. GD has a little more leash than KOK, as by the flea-flicker play. I bet KOK saw that and said "WTF", he wouldn't have let me do that.
3 QB's in spring practice starting out fresh from Fans prying eyes they will be a complete unknown, which will be a good thing for the youngsters, the thing about Shimonek he is a Greg Davis recruit, and considering the QB'S he has worked with in the past, going back to Major Applewhite.
under GD TX has had just "ONE" season outside the Top 25 in total Offense, even at North Carolina, Davis had top 20 offenses. lets let Davis get some of the type of skill players that work in his system before. throwing him out like "a baby with the bath water"
and they don't have to be 4 and 5* players, as Iowa has won before with 2 and 3* players with a few 4* players mixed in.
and as I showed the recruiting has been picking up
15 4* players
41 3* players
and 15 2* players.
and this years class has 1 4* and 14 3* and 0 2*'s,'
that better than getting 12-13 2*'s every year, like Iowa was getting from 1999 thru 2009
