football recruiting?

[gr8st8]

I agree Texas,Florida and a host of other states have more talented players than Iowa however Gene and his assistants must seek out the best Iowa has to offer before the good ones head east to IC. It may only be a handful of players that are "worthy" of the uniform but to dominate the Big 12 and the state we need the top guys in state as well as the Texas and Florida guys

I could have said Jean Swizzlestick and the point is the same. But I'm sure all the ChizIks thank you.

Actually, it's Jean Swizzelstich. ;)

id like to start pulling the worthy prospects out of nebraska while were at it. they got another OL committ this week. that is 2 rivals top 100 OL from nebr they have plus one from iowa. if we can get to the point where we pick and choose local talent along with TX/FL prospects then we will be sitting pretty.

heman-isucy86says""isu has zero football tradition"".i just wonder how in the hell you think iowa state is going to win the big 12 if they don't start getting out of the gate and start recruiting championship talent recruits. if we don't start settting our goals higher for better recruits we will continue to be a bottom feederplaying second fiddle to nebraska,oklahoma,texas,a and m and the rest of the big 12. even fat boy at kansas state will own us.championship football starts with good solid recruiting.recruit the best athlete and start your recruiting early!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your posts just ooze illiteracy, they are next to impossible to read.

If you remember, Chizik said the weeks leading up to signing day, they were focusing on 2008 recruits. So, how is that not "getting out of the gates"? Comparing Iowa State recruiting to Oklahoma, Texas, and Nebraska is just dumb right now. We don't have the tradition to get the 5 star recruits after talking to them once. As isucy86 said, 35 of AM's recruits are from Texas. They probably didn't have to ask too hard to get them to play close to their families and friends in Texas. We should focus more on in-state recruiting, and out recruiting Iowa in the state, and beating out the other teams in the north before we should worry about trying to out-recruit the nation wide Traditional football schools.

In the next decade, ISU recruiting will NEVER approach Texas, A&M, OU or the Huskers in getting the 4 or 5 star kids.

Players commit to programs and coaching staffs they feel comfortable with. To say that GC and co. will NEVER run a program that will attract high caliber talent is extremely premature. Teams in the top 10 haven't always been there and won't all be there in the future.

Once we become the premier program in the state, (1-2 yrs.), and then the Big 12 north, (2-3 yrs.), I think ISU will be a pretty easy sell to recruits.

illiterate syntax.
