Would be nice to land this gem
- Thread starter JerseyCityHawk
- Start date
article ends with "Don't look now, but the Iowa offense has all the potential to be elite not only next season, but also in the future."
is this by a hawkeye beat writer or people outside the iowa orbit starting to take notice?

I want to believe. Have seen glimpses of hope.
So, if he is a 2027 commit and wants to play as a true frosh (it appears he does from his comments) then his biggest competition for playing time would probably be Diaz (three years left?) and Vander Zee. I would think Vander Zee, if he is as good as we hope, could be gone after this year, but who knows. If he sees those two as stiff competition, then he may go elsewhere. Of course there are others, but I don't think Iowa has too many four star receivers on the roster or even in the pipeline.
But it is nice that we at least made his final four, so Lester must be doing something right.
Maybe the quarterback Santibanez will help sway him.
I will be waiting with baited breath for this Thursday.

There is absolutely no way RVZ will be declaring for the draft after this year.....
Not surprised. Burden taken #6 in 25 and Coleman drafted in 26. Not to mention Missouri has deeper pockets.

that blows
It’s from Bleacher Report. Barely a step above “fan fiction” or citing Wikipedia as fact.

As a guy whose job requires tons of research, a well sourced Wikipedia article with citations is about as good as it gets.
Bleacher report is pretty trash, though.
This guy appears to be plan B.
A bit long and lanky, Konkey looks like a younger Reece Vander Zee at times on film. His route running may need to be refined at Iowa, but his high school competition didn't demand that, as his raw athleticism won.
Utilized in a fair amount of quick hitters and screens, Konkey has a clear comfort level with the ball in his hands for serious yards after the catch.
How Bennett Konkey fits with Iowa
In his film, Bennett Konkey shows a clear ability to take the top off of a defense. Think of Charlie Jones during his time at Iowa on deep post routes, hitting the home run.A bit long and lanky, Konkey looks like a younger Reece Vander Zee at times on film.

There are no moral victories in recruiting in coming “so close” as the article suggests. It’s a zero sum game. I still see the Budmayr hire as a bust at this point.
For some reason I thought we were going to get him. Dumb on my part, should have known beter.
Isn't Konkey Bubbles' sock puppet from Trailer Park Boys?
We continue to REALLY struggle recruiting the positions that are responsible for putting the football in the end zone for 6 offensive points.
IOWA still known for lots of defense and little offense.

My hometown. And he just won the Illinois state 100m and 200m dash titles in their class.
