Reeks of poaching and tampering. But it is what it is. While I wish the best for Jaz, I hate that he went to another B1G, especially MSU. Low key hoping they suck next year.
Truthfully he was not a big part of the offense this year. We will be fine.

Dakin is poaching, not sure I see Jaz in this light. He wasn't provided the opportunity many on this board would have liked to have seen. It was a smart move by the kid to look for the chance he deserves.

It's possible that Lavar reached out to Jaz after the portal announcement. It's also possible he was spoken to before his announcement. We'll likely never know. I'll be concerned if anymore players end up at MSU though, I just don't like the idea of Lavar poaching our players. It's partly why I'm relived that Entringer isn't going there.

Glad that we don't play MSU next season....
My disdain for Fitz only grows .
My affection for Woods is a bit strained but I know it just business.

My disgust for this whole college sport landscape is also growing.
They have their hooks into me.
The only way for fans to fight back is to stop watching but alas, I'm addicted to the hawks.

Cade Wolford just committed to Cincinnati, so another swing and miss at WR
Said it before, and I'll say it again. We'll have to work with guys that no one else wants. Like those who are looking for a chance to play D1 ball. It sucks, but if we want to see better WR prospects and transfers, we'll have to have a larger emphasis on the passing game and actually have success while doing it. These players are looking for their way to get to the NFL, they don't care about the culture or how good of a person Kirk is. Thanks for putting us in this hole, Brian.

Probably missed out on both WR we offered this year now. We still have to at least get one transfer but it's not looking bright now.

The good thing is that Iowa hasn’t had a WR go into the portal. That tells me they like what they see from Hecklinski/Brown/Lester.

True. We've been in on several good transfer portal WRs the last couple of years and we seem to be the bridesmaid, not the bride, more often than not.

So, I'll go ahead and jinx us at this point. It is fairly apparent that the staff is paying the players present to stick around. There are recruits in the midst at the WR position, and it is the one spot where Kirk has played younger guys. If we can even get near the contribution of someone like Dominique Douglas (cough), we'd be set. I'm still much more concerned with the QB play, and possibly DL depth.
