In-State OL Trevor Downing Sees Iowa Again, Decision Expected Soon

[docholihawk]

You hate to see Iowa lose out on their top guys. If Iowa wants him this early, he is no doubt a good OLman and will do well at ISU. There are many more good OL prospects out there though, and I'm sure Iowa will bring one of them in to go along with Jenkins. The thing is Downing would be better after 5 years of development under KF and staff than he will be under Campbell, and his predecessor and their staffs.

ISU is where lineman go to die. Haven't they promoted guys like Campos, Good-Jones and Shawn Curtis as All-Americans and high NFL draft picks. Isn't Osemeli their only success story who was about to be cut by the Ravens until they put him next to Marshall Yanda who taught him how to play.

Downing wouldn't be a big loss if he goes somewhere else. If he was a Wide Receiver that would hurt a lot more. He can go to ISU and prepare to be a farmer instead of an NFL player

CyTwins, you gotta be pretty pumped Campbell is gonna beat the Iowa staff for Downing.

Pretty simple, really. If he wants to work in agriculture after college, ISU is his best choice. If he wants to be an NFL lineman after college, Iowa is his best choice. It really is that simple!

They're equally pumped for Campbell's promise of new jersey designs. Apparently that's a thing to get excited over when you've only won 8 games in the last 3 years combined. USC must have hike up the royalty costs.

Some kids want to play in the NFL. Some kids want to be farmers.

I guess he has no interest in bowls, going to the NFL........winning.

 

[PawkHawk1]

Oh well.
I'm sure we will stay close though in case they go 1and11 this year and he decides it might be smart to go somewhere that they actually know how to play football.

Go to ISU work on a farm.
Go to Iowa then NFL and buy a farm.

What is worse? Selling hope for 75 years, or all the fans continuing to believe the sales pitch?

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me 75 times, shame on me????

Mooo!

I just read through this thread, thinking this kid was a 4-star, top player in the state, etc. I looked him up on 247 and saw that he's a low 3-star and the 844th ranked player in the nation. How will we ever find another top 1000 player to fill the void he's leaving?

I see they also offered Corey Feldman a scholarship.

 

[spliff45]

Meh...I guess being home for the holidays is ok

Why is it that Iowa doesn't offer AG related majors anyway? I've always wondered that. All that liberal arts crap is ok I guess but come on. Iowa is the heart of agriculture and the largest state run university doesn't have anything to do with it just about... The fact that ISU is the AG school with no competition sucks.

Wut? ISU is the larger school.
