    Desperate ISU turning to socialism

    Basic business concepts would tell you to never pay back a loan early at 2.5%. It’s hilarious that someone would point that out as a poor business practice. And keep dreaming about the state of Iowa stepping in to level the playing field, not happening.

    2027 Top 20

    Prep schools. I imagine that maybe half of them or less have FL or AZ roots.

    2027 Recruiting

    Iowa probably would, but I doubt Cayden is coming in to compete. Commitment from any of the other PG’s would tell me that CD isn’t coming.

    Who will win the KO/PR job this year?

    Conversely, if they had left him at defense, he probably finishes the season. If Lutmer ends up being at that level, I guess it’s worth the risk but all of our running backs and wide receivers are more replaceable than Lutmer. Doll seems like a good possibility.

    Who will win the KO/PR job this year?

    I know this might be unpopular, but I would rather see somebody besides the defensive backs returning punts and kickoffs. Especially ones that are important as Lutmer.

    2027 Recruiting

    Best post I’ve seen on my thoughts on it. While we don’t have a deep well of mega donors, I’m guessing there’s enough money out there sitting on the sidelines that could get one player like this if it’s that close. And with the success that Ben had already, I think he can catch that ticket in.

    Twitchy??

    It means the prospect has a meth addiction.

    Expectations Tiers for 2026

    Did you know Iowa is ranked 11th in win percentage for P4 conference teams? Did you know that all 10 teams ranked above them have made a playoff? Quit acting like it’s some unachievable mission.

    Expectations Tiers for 2026

    That’s why I said “if”. I think the rest of the pieces are there but it won’t matter if they can’t stop the run.

    I won’t be disappointed unless we miss on all 3 targets.

    2027 Recruiting

    Absolutely agree with this viewpoint. Like it or not, the HC position for most schools now is a sales/fund raising job now more than ever. If you’re in the position to land a prospect of this caliber, you have to do it.

    Correct. That’s why recruiting is a zero sum game. If they don’t land one of their primary PG targets I’ll be concerned. But some fans would glaze it as “it’s just an honor to be considered, eventually, he will land one” lol. Fran never did.

    2027 Recruiting

    Makes sense. Their payday got moved up by four years and in a greater multitude. College is no longer the next step for getting paid, it can be set up to never have to work again if you manage it all right and you don’t even have to be an elite prospect.

    Way too early Power 40

    Depends if they can find their alpha right out of the gate or not. I’m hoping Cooper is ready for that step. If they do this team has a chance to be really dangerous.
