No. The worst offense has been Iowa hands down. Nebby has a good offense, just not good special teams and defense.
Iowa told him they wanted him as an OLine recruit. They only offered him as a TE later in his recruitment. The depth and incoming recruits are more than solid at the TE spot. He likely wouldn't see the field there.
Perhaps, but Iowa has a reputation for being the laughingstock of the nation when it comes to offense. Legacy recruit or not, no kid with quality P5 options is going to sign up for Kirk and Brian ball. It’s just not going to happen. Kasper said thanks but no thanks, and I am guessing Markway felt the same.
Not sure about them reaching out to Iowa, but not only does the staff never guarantee positions, the likelihood that he would see the field at TE is near zero.
I guess it’s all speculation at this point. I didn’t follow his progress at LSU, but apparently he didn’t play much there. I wonder why that was?
He played in every game as a true freshman and started a couple as well.
He's already been passed up by 2 incoming true freshman at LSU. Which is why he left
What does Iowa have to do with this?
When you don't look at stats before making a dumbass comment. You do realize Iowa had more passing yards with Deacon Hill last year...More passing attempts, and fewer interceptions....They are both absolute dumpster fires.
Yeah, I was more interested in where he heard they reached out and Kirk told them no thanks.
Nebraska had one of the worse offenses in there history last season. They get yards but limited points due to giving the ball to the other team constantly.
Does 312 mean anything to you? Nevermind. Iowa was awesome on offense last year.

I have no inside knowledge or know if the poster does, but I'd agree if you look at the current roster and add the classes for 24 with Hoffman and Burt, and 25 class with Johnson and Thomas Meyer I can see them not being that interested in someone who passed on Iowa before trying to get into a stacked TE room. I think Hoffman from OP, Ks and Meyer are going to be the next studs
We have consistently told him we see him as a better fit for OL. Which is why he is not here. (Both recruitment's)
Actually, that's not true. The fact that Iowa is a laughingstock offensively is why we've had difficulty recruiting guys at WR (and, to a lesser extent, QB).
The Bollers scenario was one where Iowa projected him on the DL ... but he saw himself as an OLB. It was largely positioning that led to Iowa's exclusion ... not that Iowa was missing out in any other regard.
I guess Iowa coaches trust their evaluations of a player more than they trust Rivals staff.
We initially recruited him as an OL. We told him we saw him as a better fit there. The kid disagreed. We then said he would get an opportunity to come in as a TE if he wished. He picked LSU (after FL) because he bought the sales pitch. The Iowa staff doesn't rely on the recruitment rankings to evaluate kids. We tell the kids the truth and our vision. Plain and simple. We don't sell kids just to get them to sign.
My bad…in that case, his stats weren’t that great for someone with such playing time.
He's a solid football player. To be able to play as a Frosh at LSU is a big deal. With that being said, he was already passed up by 2 stud Frosh TE's and was behind Mason Taylor. His path to playing at LSU was getting longer. Hawkeyes like him at OL better.
A corn dodger or whatever it was John Wayne called them in True Grit.

Sounds like us. I don't appreciate everything about KF but this aspect, a huge one at that, does sit well with me. He isn't a salesman by any means. Tells it like it is when it comes to players more often than not.
Hummmmmm...... I didn't know about that. 312 was Nebby's total yards per game last year.
