He was really good, but we had McDonald and Enyi so we didn't need Anderson to be much of a pass rusher. That's the biggest need right now.

So, do we know what the staff's evaluation of him might be? I have not a clue; if you have a clue, let us know so that we have some idea of his value.
Thanks.
To be honest, the staffs evaluations on defensive transfers has not been good. Other than MJ and Reeder, all the other D transfers have been misses since 2020.
Could be wrong, but also seems like we haven’t brought in as many transfers on the defensive side.
Have they not been good, or they've gotten the best available?
I don't think, imho, that we dare underestimate the mountains our people must climb.
Just a thought, I have no information.
Has the rot started to set in Coralville?
If you want better players from the portal, donate more. That’s it. The staff does what they can with what they have. I don’t know why this has to continually be said.

Agreed. Bankston was good for the one season he was in Ames too though.
Busts since 2020 (JUCO players included): Greg Ross, Jaquan Amos, Blake Thompson, Myles Norwood, Treyveon McGee, Jacob Ellis, Jefferson Adam, Tobechi Okoli, Zachary Lovett, Matthew Bess, Ryan Robinson, Kenard Snyder.
Iowa will be fine.
There are plenty of quarterbacks out there that are tall with strong, inaccurate arms. Some of them are also slow footed too. They'll get one!
It pains me to say this, but JJ Kohl would be perfect for them.

If I had a boat load of money and I hated the sec would it be sporting of me to use it to blow up the roster of say Alabama or Georgia?
How much would you need to get ~20 guys from each program to go to, say, Charlotte or Arkansas State?
$10M? $20M? $40M? You'd still need a believable coach though.
Imagine if Ark State had a T.Boone Pickens type with $20B - they could do a LOT of damage. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
