Iowa and The Portal.

[MelroseHawkins]

Will Iowa have success poaching former Nebby and Iowa St. players who may enter the portal? I saw Nebby has a freshman RB who just entered. He rec'd playing time as the #2 prior to getting injured. Both teams will undoubtedly have other players entering, who some could be quality. I suppose many will follow the NIL $$ and Iowa may be limited.

Just my opinion but RB is not a position I would spend much time on. WE lose Jazz but we still have Doll and some new guys plus the three that had time this year. I think they need to focus on OL/DL line depth, A WR with return experience and some secondary depth which seems like we always need. Not sure where Iowa sits on roster numbers but not sure how crazy they can really get barring a ton of guys leaving.

No, I realize Iowa is fairly deep there now, but I think this players will have 4 yrs left. If he's a top recruit or is really good, may be worth it sec to the years he has left. But, in general, I agree with you about the RB at Iowa now. I was more thinking of other positions in need, but seeing the RB entered made me think to start a thread about potentially getting some top players entering sec to coaching changes.

And yes, as I understand it, Iowa will have many holes to move players up or fill next season.

Any validity the freshman running back from Texas that entered the portal is looking at Iowa? I wouldn't mind snagging an offensive lineman or two or what about Iowa State's tight end? My buddy swears Rocco has always had a soft spot for Iowa, would grabbing another 1 year wonder at quarterback be even worth it?

Need linebackers.

Go after Kooper Ebel. From HMS up here in NW Iowa and has lots of P4 experience.

Tied for most tackles, 8 TFL, and a sack this year.
