Iowa Football Recruiting

[TheJackWePack5]

The fact that he was 1st team PFF All-American is due in large part to how terrible his OL’s run blocking was.

I'd be surprised if ISU's run blocking isn't significantly better in 2018.

Even considering head to head Iowa State was a better team at the end of the season.

Without using a reporter or AP/ Coaches poll can you give me another example as to how?

Chumps? Is that you?

Look at the strength of schedule and conference results in bowl games for starters. I would bet that if Iowa did not lose last second to PSU there would be no weird argument here. I said both teams were equal with a slight edge to Iowa when looking at all of the results from actual sources and head to head.

Rivals also shows the results support tha KFs recruiting policy is currently not below CMs. It is better according to them also.

Question. If KF has perennially better recruiting classes, yet has equal accomplishments to MC in a season, how does that speak to each of their coaching abilities?

As a factual person can you not see that Iowa did win at ISU? what does an end of the year ranking have to do with that? look at it more in depth or please keep relying on ESPN and the like to educate you on sports knowledge.

Congrats on your Super Bowl win. Non biased people thought ISU was better though

 

[CyTwins]

I would bet that if Iowa did not lose to PSU there would be here.

Agreed. Just like if ISU beat Okie State there wouldn't be a silly argument by your guys

So Iowa State was better in 2002. Glad we cleared that up

So glad to read that you agree that Iowa State was the better football team every year the Clones beat Iowa

Funny how they took down OSU and then go on the road and crap on themselves at Wisky. I think with that loss (38-14), it also hurt their credibility along with the last second loss to PSU.

ISU was in all their games, except maybe the Texas game due to Park's attitude (me first, team second).

Kind of like how Iowa State lost last second to OSU and had the K-State game stolen away? Freakin typical hawkeye/B1G fan trying to hang their hat on how the conference performed in bowl season.

As @YeahBuddy would say, congrats to the Ohio State Hawkeyes and the Penn State Hawkeyes!

Draft week, always more exciting when a Hawkeye is projected to go in the 1st round. Maybe even 2 of them this year.

Exciting!

Not what I said. I said same record means I viewed both teams equally, strength of schedule, conference record in bowls, and head to head put Iowa over the top instead of relying on a AP or Coaches poll where everyone put ISU up there because it was their best season in maybe their history and they beat 2 good teams. That is why ISU was ranked higher. Not because they were better than Iowa. It is subjective at best if you want to get real.

2002 the records clearly make out who the best team was.

 

[Thinker]

And Since this is about Iowa recruiting in general, can someone explain how Kirks policy is terrible but yet he still out recruits Campbell every year according to 247 and Rivals?

Kirks policy is terrible

I love it actually

 

[Thinker]

But I am not wrong, which is why no one responds with any substance.

Kirk's legendary, big-time program proabbly gets the "Alabama Star Bonus" upon receiving commits. On the other hand, ISU commits get downgraded after committing.

We're just not "big-time" enough. Doing more with less, great coaching!
