Correct, but the ultimate situation is a very good to great starting dual threat qb (grono could have been that except for the occasional errant pass, he was very good not great} and then an above avg backup qb and a decent up and coming 3rd stringer
******* Official Transfer Portal thread ********
- Thread starter 3-D_chess
- Start date
I fully agree with this, but with this kid that's not the ultimate situation, he had his scholly dropped for dropping an n-bomb on social media, this is the last look the hawks need at this point.

Isn't he that one recruit who said the N word and it went viral? If so, I don't know how good of a look it would be especially with our past around racism..
I’m
he was rapping a song…I think what he did was not that bad. Time we quit the far sjw ********
We dont have a "past" quit perpetuating that bulls**t. You want to talk about a "past" ask minnesota why Floyd of Roaedale exists and hammer on them for awhile.
Oh I thought he called someone the N word. You're right
I'm still amazed how Seth Anderson disappeared after the Umass game. I always felt like he had potential, suffered injuries, but thought this would be his best year.
I found this article on the topic. Syracuse, FSU, NW are showing interest so far.

WR didn't take much of a step forward this year and two receivers, Phillips & Gill, are both out of eligibility. We brought in a couple of recruits last year, and a couple more this year, but they are all young and unproven. Portal here we come!

Has Jaz announced he's gone? I guess I don't blame him if he thinks he can be the featured back at a P4 program (and get a bag in the process).
Curious why that story didn't address the linebacking group?Came across this article on Iowa portal needs.

Second time he’s claimed Jaz is transferring without providing evidence. I wouldn’t be surprised if he left but I think Hawk4ever has been outed as a Nebby troll.
Could we use someone called "Chops" as a DT?

I missed this reply, are you saying Hecklinski did the N-bomb on social media? if not him then who are you referring to?
There are a lot of receivers right out of high school who are ready made starters. They are all over the place but none come to Iowa as freshman, guys like J Smith at Ohio St and maybe 10-15 a year doing great as freshman. Of course most or many of them live on the coasts and down south where they can run patterns all year long with the friends and QB buddies to throw to them. Those players go to USC, ORegon, SEC teams, etc etc,
Iowa will have to prove we have a top QB who is going to throw a great ball 30 or so times a game to get any guys like this. Lazzard is one of few from Iowa in a long time.
PORTAL-OUT players ... end of regular season
Tulane (in the playoffs)
Pascuzzi - catches 11 for 150 - 1TD
Sully - 19-29 - 222yds - 2TDs/2int - 139 RTG
WA (8-4) Thompson - 27 tackles - 1.5 sacks - 2 PD - would've been an asset
BAMA (playoffs) Proctor - I hope his NFL career is short
Minny (7-5) Nestor - 47 tackles - 6 PD - 5 int - 1 TD - 1 FR. He was the team leader in several categories. One of dozens of studs KF chased off to his own detriment.
San Diego State (9-3, in Spanish it mean's "a whale's fagina") Bostick - catches 11-157 ... 3TDs
Central Mich (7-5) Brenden 23 tackles - 4PD - 2 int ... Vanwetzinga - DL - 8 tackles
New Mexico (9-3) Keegan Michael-Key ... lead his team with 57 catches - 730yds - 3 TDs - 2 rushes for 9 yds ... not quite the Charlie Jones debacle, but pretty bad
Kansas (5-7) - LeeShonn Williams - lead the RBs in TDs and YPC. 97 for 560 - 7 TDs - 5.8 avg
Central Michigan (7-5) Labas - 1676yds - 69% completion rate - 12 TDs/6 int - 161 RTG ... 45 rushes for -4 yds. Better than Grownk? Up for debate.
Nicholls (4-8) The Deuce: 1046yds - 61% completion rate - 4 TDs/5 ints - 107 RTG
I'm sure I'm missing some. Post em if ya got em.

Kid has crazy athleticism, I would be a bit surprised if Missouri offers him and he turns that down.
Damn. Good luck running through him. We went up to Cedar Falls and watched when ND played there and they eventually kicked UNI's *** pretty bad. Wished I had know about the dude then
I will take the DT from North Dakota, and the 345lb run stuffer from Purdue. Our run D would be SHORED UP!
