TONY DIAZ!!!

At :26 seconds......... that is a great hesitation to keep that DB off of the ball. Looks like a basketball move, bumping the defender on a drive to keep him from blocking the layup. It's subtle but you don't see many college wr's using it. Looking forward to seeing him this Fall, hopefully he stays healthy!
Diaz, James, and RVZ and a QB that can get them the ball. Definitely looking forward to this season.
Doesn't prevent the team doctor from giving injury updates on the pregame show every week of the season.
How did this kid miss out on any Division 1 offers? Dudes a stud on the field aa he’s cat quick and speed to burn with great separation speed… I hope the staff utilizes his talents to the maximum potential
Pretty sure he's got some toughness, as a blocker, too.
That will be huge.
Really looking forward to Tony
Not sure how you define "maximum potential".
Certainly, you don't want the ball thrown to any one receiver, on every play.
But agree with everything else. Think there might also be some leadership skills there. Tony seems to play with a lot of heart
Don't forget we beat Alabama to get him out of the portal, so that's something. I think Tony has quickly become a key piece in the passing game this year. While RVZ is still my #1, Diaz appears to be the real deal, and Lester plans to fully utilize his skills to turn our passing game around.
Pass the ball!
It would be great to have a dominant WR. I can't recall one since McNutt (does that count?)
Unfortunately it's easier to remember the opposing WRs doing that to us...David Bell, Wandale Robinson, Makai Lemon....

No, I don't think what's to be remembered about Iowa football is unfortunate at all
Ha. Aren't you the one constantly dragging people for having ****** reading comprehension?
I read what you said just fine.
And none of it matters. Because what Iowa has done overall, is produce a lot of fortunate memories.
Capece?
It starts with Lester and his desire to improve the pass. I've listened to a lot of his interviews, he always talks about expanding the playback and that there's a lot more he'd love to call during games. I think these past teo years we've only scratched the surface of what he wants to run. RVZ, Diaz, and Parker will all have to step up and be the change the program needs.
What, exactly, starts with Lester?
The program needs a change? In what way? And why?
I would assume this change is for the purpose of more wins.
So, Iowa is supposed to win 10+ games this season by way of RVZ, Diaz, and Parker stepping up?
It'd be great if that happened. And I'm not saying it can't play out that way.
But given that WR is the least important position in football, I'm doubting your algebra to be as straightforward as you think it is. I wouldn't be putting too many eggs into that basket. Certainly, not where my focus is with this team.
And 10 wins wouldn't necessarily be reflective of a distinguishable jump ("change") in the program.
So we're talking at least 11 wins before "program change" can start gaining steam as a conversation potentially rooted in reality.
And given that you've previously posted you only expect Iowa to win 7 or 8 games this season, iirc, just what necessary program change are you speaking of?
Whatever it is, must not be very necessary, if it results in less wins.
It seems perhaps, wrong priorities have again left you with weak algebra.
Seek to acquire a smidge of a clue about what it is you've been watching the last 26 years

Following up on my previous post, ESPN agrees that we have to get more out of our passing game. Diaz will be a key piece in getting more out of our low rated passing attack.
Feels good to be right, as usual!

Tony Diaz will become the 5th receiver in Iowa history to surpass 1k receiving yards in a single season.
