Charlie Jones to the portal
- Thread starter squeezebox
- Start date
No, but I do consider it recent. Football, all sports is about what have you done lately. I'm sure its more than average.
Yeah, Jones isn't leaving because he got passed up on the depth chart.
Correct about playing time at a place like purdue which seems to have a very indepth passing game that one cant maybe learn all that quick and get comfortable with the qb
You are saying Jones was listed as a starter coming out of spring practice?
So, that proves my point that he's not leaving because he got passed by younger players?.........Neat!
I wonder if Jones and others think Iowa will be able to pound and ground the ball this year and that is what they will do to take pressure off the qbs. So maybe not many pass catching opportunities for a variety of reasons. I would love to see the Hawks bash people in the ground game but also turn that into big play pass opportunities like flea flickers, and great play action and going deep
And Bruce seems to have the skills to be a good returner also
Ok, I knew they were close but didn't go to the same high school. Hence the question on the "teammates" part. Didn't realize they were on travel teams together, thanks for clarifying.
Not a big loss. Doubt he plays a minute in the NBA.
He was a game changer in the return game.
His time here was appreciated.
Can't blame him if he wants to try some other place to pad his resume other than one of the most miserable, primitive offenses in the USofA.

This ^. Bad OC, Bad QB, Bad offense.
The more likely explanation is that our qb and offense are going to suck again, and he wants to play for a team that has something that resembles a competent qb, and offense.
Really hated to hear this as I was super tickled when the news came out he was coming back...🥺
I think this has to be right. And if he can make some money, I don’t blame him for playing by the (new) rules of CFB.
Whoever doesn't understand his decision is a total idiot. This is 100% on Ferments for installing his meathead kid at OC....Jones would still be here if it wasn't for Iowa's 1920's offense. Ferments fatigue is real and alive in Iowa City....it's been festering for 15 years.
If he can make 100k+ with a school that has NIL lined up, it is what it is. NCAA 8s a flacid waste.
Charlie Jones might be the biggest "playmaker" we had. Guy catches well, and goes balls to the walls on punt returns. Big loss IMO.
Lol.
You must have people on ignore.
Or I haven’t scrolled down far enough to get the sarcasm. 😁
Doesn't cost the school a thing, they don't pay the NIL.
I don’t think he is leaving bc he thinks our offense sucks. It did last year and might this year. But if this were the case, why not enter the transfer portal after the bowl game and get in a spring practice with new team?
I think it’s more likely he wanted to be a featured receiver and saw after spring that Arland is ahead of him. The depth chart at the end of spring practice is meaningless. He will definitely be missed in the return game but I don’t see him being the main receiver at any top 20 team, which I think Iowa will be. Time will tell.

Ever heard of Cooper Kupp? LOL
Maybe Charlie waited until after spring to see if Iowa's QB competition would result in a starter who could actually throw the ball down the field with some accuracy. When it didn't, maybe Charlie decided he would be better off elsewhere. Makes perfectly good sense.
And I suppose you knew all about Cooper Kupp coming out of college, eh? LOL
Nope. If you don't think that Bruce was going to play ahead of Jones, please pass whatever you're smoking.So, that proves my point that he's not leaving because he got passed by younger players?.........Neat!
Just to restate this again (3rd time!), Ragaini was listed as 1st, Jones 2nd, and Bruce 3rd. I believe that the true order by the first game would have been flipped. If Jones is really gone, it'll be Bruce then Ragaini by the first game, IMHO.

Wow, rough day, unless someone in that core is really progressing.

It's always entertaining when you come out of your cage to mash your face all over the keyboard lol
That increase can at least partially be credited to the NCAA's new policy that student-athletes are allowed to transfer once in their careers without having to sit out a year-in-residence. That means all players who enter the transfer portal for the first time will be immediately eligible at their new school as long as they meet a NCAA mandated entry deadline.
It may mean that he wants to play for a real offensive coordinator and a QB that can deliver.
^^^^ this.
Sucks bad, lost a major gamer in Charlie.
One of my favorite Hawks the last few years.
He was fearless
This is so simple: Charlie just wants to play for a Top 100 Offense.
Yep. WRs are definitely missing the memo on Iowa beating a "cheat code" to prepare for the NFL........
