#24 Ranked 2021 Class After Deavin Hilson & OL Michael Myslinski COMMIT.
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
Saw Myslinski is down to Maryland, MSU and Iowa with a decision soon.
Time for him to decide if he wants to be a member of a bottom feeder in the B1G east, or play in the NFL one day.
Maryland has put together one hell of a class.
They have had some really good classes in the past ten years but they havent had the coach that can get it to translate to on the field success. There are a lot of good players in their region.

This. Locksley has always been a really good, (if sometimes sleezy under the table recruiter) while at Illinois, and New Mexico, but never shown a great deal as an X's and O's guy, as the HC....
Yeah ... Locksley has always been a talented recruiter ... and not even a bad OC. However, he genuinely doesn't appear to be that competent of a head coach. Part of being a strong head coach is to have a firm vision for the program. You want to have a vision that you can both execute with your given personnel ... and one that you can maintain (and/or improve upon) with the recruiting-level you can sustain.
Unfortunately, a lot of coaches just chase after schemes and trends that are the latest and flashiest. And part of that is that they might now a thing or two about schemes ... but that doesn't mean that they are particularly good teachers. Typically the best coaches are excellent teachers.
Louisiana Lafayette commit? Hell, this is who ISU should be going after.
I guess he probably has a propensity to kick ISU’s ass, so would fit in well in Iowa City.

It's a great class for sure and I predict DD will be our starting lt in '22. We also should keep in mind how good the '20 class is. Richman, Elsbury, who I thought was the most underrated recruit in that class, and Volk who has been getting some positive comments. Richman and Elsbury were good enough to get some mop up time. Some great young talent in the pipeline.
Add Myskinski to that line and look out! What running back wouldn’t want to run behind that line for two, three, or four years? That line has the ability to be the best in the KF era, even better than the great 2002 line.
More than a couple of positive comments on message boards I read. Who knows he's struggling with his knee injury. But I haven't read that. Where did you hear that?
Guy who talks to a parent that has a player on the team. They said he’s a couple years away from contributing much.
That is totally fine though. He can play as a red shirt sophomore.
Kendrell Williams might be a good fit at Iowa. Runs ANGRY and doesn't go down on first contact and doesn't shy away from it either. Coker 2.0?
I'd heard positives about Elsbury and Richman ... really no internal buzz about Volk yet. I would surmise that between injury and body composition ... he has plenty of strength and conditioning work to do before he's a contributor.
I'm currently a little more curious about the progress of Endres and Fenske. I know that DeJong was a little bit of the surprise out of that class ... the skinny walk-on taking the lead out of the OT candidates. I remember that Fenske kinda had a "blip" on the radar for a little bit. Does anybody know anything about those guys?
why are we struggling to sign a freakin' running back?
what happened over the summer and negative recruiting is all I can think of.
Myslinski rumors to Iowa pouring in on 247
there is a prediction to Iowa for Eli Sanders on Rivals. I'm not buying it, but good to see that some think it could happen
We can use any positivity right now, might be low confidence but 3 of recent ones for iowa. 1 is a Texas guy, 1 is wiltfong, 1 is a michigan state guy.
How many RB's has Iowa put in the NFL in the past 30 years that was a starter?
His twitter is getting hit up by a Iowa recruits. Fingers crossed on Sanders.
Can't deny what you said but I think Iowa should have moved on faster after Parks committed to Utah. Just my take.
Only one that I know of was Estime and that was a longshot. Maybe I'm mistaken tho.
Don't know about 30 years but..
..only produced 1 NFL running back in the last 20 years.
No bueno. I wish we would perform a complete overhaul on our offensive philosophy.
And the thing is they've had highly rated running backs in the program. Granted, quite a few of them flaked out for various reasons, but it's not like the running back room has been void of talent the last twenty years.
