BS!! Everyone is a lifelong Iowa fan til they go elsewhere. This is horse hockey. You have no idea what you are talking about, like every Iowa fan. He won't be a Hawkeye either.

Actually, he has said in multiple recruiting interviews that he grew up an Iowa fan. So there's that.....

And so would "Come to ISU and spend the holidays with your team in a bowl game rather than going to Iowa and watching ESPN son"

We are. The answer is no one. Almost all of your current commits are taking visits, MR. I Follow Recruiting. That tells you how many people want to play for Iowa.

Althawk might be Kurt Feretz throwing a fit on CF? What a beautiful night.

No one ******* cares.

Harrison Barnes was a ISU BB fan growing up to. How did that work out? Piersbacher will play for ND, but not for the Hawks. Better work on putting Scherff in the pros. He has a long ways to go, from what I saw.

Where did I say Ross P was a lock to commit to Iowa? I didn't....I realize there is a greater chance he goes elsewhere, than goes to Iowa. Simply said he wasn't going to go to Iowa State. I feel fairly confident about that. As far as Lazard and Campos goes, those are two great commits for Iowa State. Momentum is clearly snowballing in the program right now, and those two players could turn out to be tremendous players for you. However, I think most Iowa State fans are losing sight of the fact that these kids grew up ISU fans in central Iowa. I realize a few years ago they would have gone out of state, and them choosing ISU clearly shows you are improving. But why don't we hold off on the in-state domination talk, and wait until they get a commit from somewhere east of I-35 before we claim them in-state kings.

To be fair Lanning is to soft, Iowa didn't want him.

I'm guessing Darboh was a Hawk fan too...well he went to Michigan.

You must have missed the part where Iowa didn't offer him a scholarship.....

Hasn't just about every BCS program been in the top 25 in the last decade? Yeah ISU was in 2000 so 12 years, so that's not so elite, really. All the other recruiters have to do is plant the "Kirk Ferentz, isn't he kind of on the hot seat?" seed.
