******* Official Transfer Portal thread ********
- Thread starter 3-D_chess
- Start date
North Carolina is up to 18, Okie State, Central Florida aren't far behind.
Hawks will be agressive looking for a DT and DE. A corner back if they can find a contributor. Kicker might be looked at. Maybe a WR. TE, RB, OL, LBer are in good shape.
I think they are going to run with what they have.

DT and DE for sure. I also think finding a proven WR will be a high priority. Would not be surprised if they take OL or LB if they find a gem.
I'd be surprised if they all stick around. I also wonder about the TE room, wouldn't be surprised if Burt transferred.
We have three tight end sets so you never know. Kittle waited his turn as did Hockenson. Fant played sooner but Hock jumped him later on. Vonnahame (sp?) looks to be a future star. A lot of young TE talent in the room.
A lot of talented young LBer's. They will only get better if they see the field
Burt isn't on the depth chart, Hoffman left. It sounds like Meyer was ready to see the field according to the staff, With Ortwerth, Vonnahame, Ostrenga, Meyer all ahead of him, Brewer coming in a long with not knowing about Eli Johnson, and Woods. I would be surprised if all of them stick around.
I think Iowa will try to get 2 DTs and a CB on Defense, Possibly a Kicker for STs , and a Tackle, WR , and possibly QB on Offense
With Craig and merriweather returning I guess it depends on how PP feels with younger guys like epenesa and some of the other freshman for DE. But I hope DT they do look for someone.
Up to 793 names have entered the portal with 16 days to go. As more bowls get played that number will really jump. A transfer portal board has to be extremely flexible for a school to keep up with the additions/subtractions. Add in watching film and vetting players before you even discuss interest and the financials. Monumental task!
I have no idea if the Blue Hens QB is going to enter the portal or not but I'd love to see him in the black and gold next year. Come in and get spring ball, summer workouts and fall practice. He'd be great in TL's offense.
That is a compact throwing motion, I'm surprised he can put as much on it as he does, he certainly has good touch.
Craig graduated last year. Assume you mean Allen. DT is a definite need
When Iowa has been great, they typically have had great D-lines. It’s the one area where Iowa can use an upgrade and see a big payoff. Phil and Kelvin know how to get their DLine to perform at an elite level.
Speaking of D-line, just saw this article that talks about an Iowa Native DL in the portal, but also gives a good summary of other needs.
300-Pound DL Linked To Iowa In Transfer Portal
Standing 6'3'' 300-pounds, this is the type of player that was built to be an Iowa Hawkeye. Not only is Joe Hjelle the size and stature of what head coach Kirk

Decorah Iowa kid. Seems like we could use him.
I wonder if any that Ruggerio knows yet that he could guide our way .........................
According to 247Sports, the Demon Deacons have had 15 players enter the transfer portal as of Dec. 18. Most recently, freshman quarterback Elijiah Oehlke announced he will be entering the portal when it opens on Jan. 2, joining a host of other former Demon Deacons.

Didn't Iowa make a run at him the first time?
And he has been out hurt, so he checks that box too.
Fox posted Oregon has 6 - 5 star players and 52 - 4 star players on their roster! How did Iowa even keep it close???
Sorsby is average at best, when he is playing from behind he looks terrible. watch his game vs utah 11-33 221 yards 1 TD 1 INT
I am picking Oregon to win at least 2 games in playoffs and do think they could win it all.
Their wr corp is finally healthy.
I didn’t look it up again before posting but Kyler Kasper (son of former Hawk Kevin Kasper who held an Iowa offer) has something like 8 catches over 4 years at Oregon …all in mop-up duty and IIRC half of those catches against OOC low ranked teams. Might have been over-ranked as a recruit.
I believe there is a younger brother (high school junior?) who has been offered by Oregon.

Kyler should have transferred out last year. With 1 year of eligibility left and being buried on the depth chart, I'm not sure who he transfers to.
He also enrolled a year early. I think if he transfers I could see him going back home to play at ASU.
I think your full of it. My understanding was Nestor left because of the turmoil surrounding his Dad when he got run out at West Branch, then Dad went scorched earth F bombing all things Iowa on his way out of town. Nor sure what that has to do with Kirk, but do tell.
?????? Craig left over a year ago. Still we're pretty stocked at DE. DT is a much bigger need.....
Washington is transferring to nobody's surprise. That's okay and best of luck to him.
He kind of reminded me of a poor man Tyrone Tracy. Athletically Talented guy but our staff didn’t really know how to use him is he a rb or wr?
Maybe he just likes the school and is happy there. I imagine he's seen for a several years that he isn't at the level required to get playing time at Oregon.
Christian Hudson the DT out of Florida that Iowa offered and got a Visit from that eventually committed to Colorado is in the Portal , 4 Years elg left, I wonder if Iowa will put out feelers ?
