I do believe that Iowa and ISU have comparable WRs. ISM was the 3-4 option at WR the last 2 years he has played. Iowa uses TEs like the NFL does, which is why he was around that option.
Come on... that's like saying Iowa State has had comparable TE's to Iowa's.. Iowa has nice receivers, and I'm sure they would be better in a different system, but they are not and have not been better than Iowa State's in recent years.

There's a reason Iowa has rolled with a 2 TE system....

I completely agree. The way Iowa runs their offense doesn't help either. When you're only throwing to your WR's on 3rd and long it's tough for them to be productive. It's definitely a combination of the two.

So it's confirmed Oliver Martin will be a Hawkeye. Now we will never get to see if he would have started for us :(

Rob Howe is so dialed in on this all. This is from May 31. Lol just stop



I just made contact with someone very close with OM who said he HAS NOT decided to transfer. This person has heard from him three times since Sunday with OM telling him he is not leaving Michigan. One of things that could be fueling the rumor is that he did not report back to Ann Arbor on Wednesday. He did contact Harbaugh and the staff to tell them he would be delayed, from what this person told me.

From what I'm told, OM will graduate next spring. He can stay at Michigan this year and if things don't go the way he wants, he can leave then and have two years to play without sitting out.

He’s definitely not my go-to source, but it’s out there in print. Can someone make a list of acceptable sources that I can quote?

Considering I have a better batting average for Hawkeye insider info than Howe, Kakert and Blair I wouldn't use any of them
