Hawks Land TOP Ranked Baseball Recruiting Class in Big 10

To the contrary, I believe the baseball team's best player this year is black, while the football team's best is white.

The difference is black and white.

Baseball is white players.

Football is black players at all skill positions and defense.

Black population in Iowa is 2% of a small population state.

Hayden Fry had no problem going to TX and getting quality players of color. Demo Odems, Melvin Foster, Sed Shaw...just a few. With Iowa's history (something KF has chosen not to emphasize) of being one of the first states to give people of color rights - freedom, voting), it should not ever be an issue...Heck, Duke Slater was going to law school at Iowa during a time when black men were still getting lynched in TX and the entire SEC...that should warrant an entire wing of the football offices/complex. KF is too conservative and, quite frankly, may have political ambition causing him to NOT emphasize that very progressive history of Iowa.

Coaches don't care what color their skin is

If we (I hesitate to say Barta) can find the football version of Rick Heller... the future would look great. He was a great hire!

I love Kirk Ferentz. Always and forever. Such a great man. Haters gonna hate

See deanvogs, some guys are more than willing to show their apologetic nature (love) for KF.

Your 'hey, I want KF gone' rants remind of the Apostle Peter when the Romans asked if he knew Jesus: No, I don't know him! Peter hadn't had a change of heart when asked by the Romans, he just didn't want to be arrested.

You're a KF apologist. Everyone knows. You ain't foolin' nobody. Yep, call me a troll, here. I won't deny.

I love Kirk Ferentz and Jesus too!

But golly gosh gee whiz we're just little 'ol Iowa. It may be apples and oranges to some but Heller's efforts show what can be done with some aggressive salesmanship, something KF does not have. I'd settle for middle of the pack recruiting results in the BoneG football race if only we'd take a page from Bill Snyder and what he's done.
