Any young skill position players coming up that will help our offense?

lol This guy is "not a Kirk apologist," yet cites Bostic as a stud WR despite being in his 3rd year in the program and never making a catch.

How many stud WRs at Iowa had zero catches in their first two years then suddenly became a star? The fact is, most difference making wide receivers at any school are good enough to come in and make plays as freshmen (DJK had 500 yards receiving as a frosh; McNutt had 700 yrds as a true sophomore after switching from QB; even guys like Arland Bruce & Kaegan Johnson had 20+ catches as true freshmen). It's not a position where you need to put on weight or learn how to catch.

But yeah, maybe Bostic just needs a few more years to "learn the system" and is a super star in the waiting.

I thought it was all Brian's fault? How can you blame any kid in that system?

People are forgetting Bostick's injuries. It's not like he's been available every week and can't get on the field to make a catch.

Isn't there a WR with the last name Howard? I don't see him on the roster. But it is an old with Vines still on there.

Dayton Howard, look a little harder

What's his number? Cause I still don't see him.

I also heard it's Buie that is looking like the part.

DJK baby! Went over the middle. Fearless.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug!

Eventually someone has to break thru. Makes you appreciate guys like CJ Jones, Vandeberg, McNutt, Mo Brown, etc.

Heck, even guys like Warren Holloway and Ramon Ochoa eventually became reasonable receiving options as upperclassmen. There probably isn’t a really good, dominant WR on Iowa right now, but just a few solid, dependable options this coming year would be progress.

I quickly looked it up, but there are like 276 FBS WRs who had a least 400 receiving yards last season, that averages out to slightly more than 2 WRs per team. If Iowa doesn’t have 2 or 3 WRs who can give you at least 400-500 receiving yards next season, then this offense will likely still be in the basement.

What is a “hole board”? Is that like the glory hole that you & LittleD liked to visit at the Manhole in north Chicago?
