2018 4 star RB Markese Stepp ....former ND commit ...Visiting Iowa??

[Johnsoda123]

I understand but predators like R Kelly are lines in the sand that I will never cross. The rap/ hip hop genre brings out some of the worst in humanity.

So you are saying when multiple women come forward with accusations of sexual misconduct they should be seen as credible?

 

[David1979]

That’s right, I did see that.

Better get 11 more receivers.

That's way too many

Yikes. This is an incredibly ignorant statement and you should probably sit the next couple plays out. Keep this racist garbage out of the football forum, please.

Seems like they should go after another WR instead of a RB.

accept they can't even buy a wr
getting beat by fiu ru and csu! total joke....

because no white people in the rap/hip hop genre?

that said, yeah it was a stupid comment.....

 

[Birky]

That's way too many

Huh, I’ve been lead to believe Iowa should bring in classes consisting of just WRs? It’s fail safe. Ability and all other positions be damned.

Stepp moved his USC visit to this wknd. Crystal Balls rolling in for the Trojans. Hawks may not get a shot.

He's in the entryway, could be just before he left. Who the hell cares?

 

[Wasnt-drunk-didnt-troll]

I know it's a stupid pet peeve. I would imagine it was a "picture before you leave". I would be willing to bet our guys in homes are very respectful/professional.

Kelvin "The Closer" Bell! He must really have a way of connecting with kids! He's been a great addition to this staff!

 

[David1979]

I would assume he is a kid that they are trying to keep warm pending other decisions.

 

[Harbinger273]

Nope. They'd take the commit right now if they got it. Kid is a hot commodity.

Agreed. This guy was an awesome addition.

Hot commodity or not, they have other needs that are more pressing.

What are the other decisions?

actually, his comment was cultural not race related. there is a difference.

 

[HKI]

You assume none of these guys can switch positions or play defense. Iowa needs speed and athleticism all over the field (and two-deep). Get the players and figure out how they can best help your team. A high school running back playing DB (LB,WR)? Yeah, that's just crazy talk.

Nope, I'm not assuming anything close to that. The post called for getting "skill position players" on the field, not the best players or best athletes, or anything else. If the coaches see them as a switched position, great, Iowa has tremendous success in doing so, but would completely negate the point of that original post, i.e. getting as many great "skill position" players as possible. This is also furthered by my point, if you they are evaluating them at other positions, we would likely know about it, and it wouldn't even effect the discussion of a potential logjam at hb.

 

[HKI]

While there may only be 5 players on the feild that would be considered "skill players" we are from from an abundance of skill players. RB seems to be building a stable but if he-who-must-not-be-named shows back up we are going to want as many as possible. IMO the program is lacking talent everywhere, I know I know something about small population yada yada yada....... We could and should have done better.

Agreed, I was just pointing out the fallacy in overcompensating on "skill positions" simply because we lack talent/depth. Over-correcting in anything is nearly always a problem.

 

[Harbinger273]

Late January visit said to be set up for Stepp.

 

[cap_tain8]

why do u hot heads come on here and hijack these great threads with your politics. go away with it. if you don't have anything smart to add then take your ignorance to another page.

I see what you did here, touché my man touché

 

[Harbinger273]

This Stepp kid is a fast guy! 4.42 40 time. All that matters.

[bojihawk44]

Kelvin definitely won't be getting steak knives this year.

 

[DodgerHawki]

Hot commodity or not, they have other needs that are more pressing.

I would agree, generally. But if the coaches think he has a chance to be better than any RB on the roster now, they would take him. That's what the other poster was saying. Similar to how defensive end isn't the largest position of need, but Waggoner's talent dictated that they went after him. If you can improve the team, you do so.
