That’s some unexpected good news. Hope the experts are correct. Is he dual or drop back?

Rivals final position rankings were released and Tradon Bessinger comes in at #10 for QBs.

Looking forward to seeing what the kid can do in the future.




Not bad for a statue, which some have claimed on here. ;)

Iowa got the top rated QB amongst Big Ten teams. I haven’t looked at other schools but is it a sign of the times?

Rankings are mostly dumb, pay attention to the offers.
I'm not saying this was you.....but it's funny that no one wanted to pay attention to the offer list of the portal guys we got, folks just wanted to $h!t on them and say that they sucked cuz they were FCS and had no stars coming out of HS......and now when we get a top ranked recruit, folks say "Don't look at the stars, look at the offer list."

Weird! :D

Ideally you want a competent passing game and a somewhat balanced attack, but i dont fall in love with stats. there are a lot of bad teams that lose a lot of games but put up pretty good passing yards.

That's great, of course. Still, I wonder how many starting P4 QB's will be guys who came to that college out of HS.

Iowa hasn't had a HS recruit play QB since 2022, and one likely won't this upcoming season, either. Gotta wonder if J Sully and/or this guy will ever see the field for Iowa.

Just sayin'.

In my experience, most Iowans could find a sh'tstain on a rainbow. But I like your optimism, good on you.
I'm not an Iowan, perhaps that's where my optimism comes from.

As for Desi, what he wrote was blatant sarcasm. But, it would help a ton to put a "😉" or some sort of emoji in there to avoid the lost in "textlation/txtlation," as I've seen it called.

In the video of this young man throwing a couple of passes it looks like he has a quick release. He doesnt drop the ball very low at all, just brings it straight back and then forward.

I remember the the first time watching Deacon Hill throw a pass and he looked like a fastball pitcher who totally extends his arm down and straight down and then takes a good bit of time to wind it up and release it. That was poor execution that our QB coach at the time , Brian, did not cure the Deacon of
