K. Ferentz Talked Today About Late Recruiting Period, Transfer Portal

Is recruiting guys who have graduated from their school but still have a year left improper?

 

[RobHowe]

If they're in the portal, they're fair game. If you reach out to guys on scholarship at other schools not in the portal, that's a violation.

I'd love to see the Hawks get a DE and/or DT who is/are ready made for some snaps next year.

 

[ModebaSan]

I think we’re ok at DE, maybe bring in a DT for depth. I would also be looking at someone at the SS spot. Another punter for depth and competition. Other than that, I think we’re good everywhere else.

Yeah I agree. We seem to be in good shape really. Even with all the guys leaving and graduation. Losing Ezra Miller is a hit to the Oline depth. But even still I think we are alright. I'm fired up to see how offense does next yr

Gotta be careful with that, though.

IMO doing that at a position like DE/DT isn’t good for recruiting and isn’t going to keep good underclassmen around. With Iowa being a “developmental“ team and relying on guys coming up through the program you could really hurt the dynamic. Teams like OSU or Michigan who pretty much recruit themselves could get away with it but it wouldn’t take long at Iowa to really start turning recruits off.

What makes it difficult for Iowa in the portal is that it's selective, even though KF didn't want to use that word.

The staff will thoroughly vet any potential addition, making sure it isn't someone who will compromise the culture. It's unlikely to risk that.

From the outside, that appears to be sacrosanct with Ferentz. He had enough of that 10 years ago or so. That's not happening any longer.

Sounds like E. Miller had a pretty serious injury to end his career...

Nebraska has failed to learn that.

Nebraska has failed to learn that.

It's gone on long enough, that maybe it is their culture. At some point it stops being a mistake.

Or the fact that Nebraska has no culture at this point.

Yes they do! A culture of losing.

"N" is for culture.

Iowa needs more D linemen for the rotation. If one can come in and stand out that would even be better. But the rotation is where Iowa needs help right now.

They passed on Joe Burrow. There's a headline on their program.

They didn't need him. Dude had 15 good games and everybody overreacts like he's the second coming of Scott Frost.

Burrow is a damned good QB, but he'd have been 6-6 at Nebraska this year, maybe 7-5. Getting turned down by Nebraska is the best thing that could have ever happened to him.

But Burrow actually threw a pass in those 15 games.
