Interesting strategy.
You might research some of the best SEC teams that are doing the same. Just bc they “didnt” play at a big name school doesn’t mean they’re automatically better than kids who are lighting it up at smaller ones.

Anyone that’s out trying to win a Natty by redoing there entire team from kids wanting out of their big name School, besides about 2 or 3 teams that can afford the best, are saying they don’t know how to develop.

iowas shot is developing who they recruit and adding a few gaps here and there, it will depend more on good HS recruiting and development.. we don’t have the $ to buy a team.
And I like it, I suggest we’ll get better recruiting classes because of it and have better consistency and chemistry which wins.

Thank someone there is at least a couple levelheaded decent persons on this board with common sense who like to talk Iowa football! Well said!

I remember when I had my first beer. We develop them and then they transfer or jump early to the NFL. Not the recipe you think it is.
I had my first beer before your mother was in diapers, better have her change your diapers sport. I have seen enough of your kind of stupid posts like telling me you remember when you had your first beer to know you haven't spent time around a football field let alone the Iowa program. Maybe step up your game to Whistle Pig.

Year end stats - Transfers (In)

Groank - all time D-1 game winner - invited to senior bowl or its equivalent
1741 passing - 10 TDs - 8 int
545 rushing - 16 TDs
If only he started the year the way he ended it.
Probably gets drafted in the same spot as Purdy.

Gill - 278 yds - 1 TD
Phillips - 261 yds - 0 TDs
Wetjet - Juco walk-on - set records - will be drafted in the later rounds
Anderson - 54 yds - 2 TDs "developmental" program fail

Pace - 19 tackles - 2 PDs - okay, but there are people he started in front of that probably would've been better
Hawthorne - 15 tackles - 1 int - bright future (this is where you pray he doesn't bolt first chance he gets)

There are other names like Brown; Hecklinski; etc. But they didn't see the field enough to report on or draw conclusions.

Makes sense. The only other teams I can think of that might need a Qb and that can open the check book are Bama and Oregon if Simpson or Moore go pro.

***Edit*** there's smoke on Twitter that LSU is involved with Williams.

I thought they were trying to get Leavitt especially since other 2 he visited TT and UK signed a qb.

also been pretty quiet on Lagway and baby mahomes on where they may go.

Leavitt was in Baton Rouge tonight and it just came out that he is lining up a visit to Tennessee.

I saw that Lagway has taken a few visits to Baylor, FSU (just signed an Auburn QB), and another ACC school (Virginia?). I haven't seen anything on Raiola which is pretty strange idk where he will end up.

Demond Williams agent is seeing QB inflation occurring so williams deal with UWash might have been top of market (3million) last week but now TT is paying Sorsby 5 million so time for new deal?

Selfishly I hope he moves on since hawks play in Seattle next year, but this is not good for the sport. It has to reach def on 4 before some court tries to salvage college sports....hopefully.
