Plays inside or outside, highpoints ball, looks good out there. Sign him up!
This is exactly correct. I didn't intend to imply otherwise.To be fair @Bishop1971 said we weren’t getting Traeshon but was very hopeful we could.
.it's not bc of grades aloneNot anymore. Iowa pulled out of Holden possibly due to grades. He's out.
Hey, get that Notre Dame degree.
It could be just lack of motivation to anything school related.Grades? Grades? ~ Get the kid transferring in from Harvard to be his roommate.
Don't they "give" grades any more? Like yes Jimmy you get an A. High schools in Iowa let kids openly retake exams multiple times until they get a grade they like (this is true). Are they not doing that in college yet?Alabama reminds me of Nebraska in the mid 90s. Lower the standards are far as possible to let people that don't belong in school skate by, to make the football program elite.
Very true. Just because there is mutual interest and we may even have "the lead" on some recruits there are going to be disappointments.This is exactly correct. I didn't intend to imply otherwise.
As I said, I appreciate the information @Bishop1971 has shared. I just think we all need to pump the brakes on the idea that anything is a done deal.
Has good hands, runs clean routes and Just a burner too.
Yessir! Michigan Rivals and writers seem to think he's headed our way.AJ Henning,come on down.
I know right? I'm guilty of it too, see a lot of info and posting in different threads. Franny must be busy in NYC with the bball team..We may need to start a post with a master list of all the portal guys we are reportedly looking at. Where's @Franisdaman when you need him?![]()
@Bishop1971 never said he had information on Holden. In fact, he said he was surprised by the rumors.I think the lesson we can learn from the Holden situation, and the lesson we can apply to other rumored situations, is that there is still a lot of things that need to play out before we learn where some of these players will end up. The portal didn't even open until yesterday, so technically, I don't think the coaching staff could even talk to potential transfers until this week (with grad transfers like McNamara being an exception).
I appreciate the information @Bishop1971 and others have shared, but it's clear that there are no "done deals" with most of these guys. Certainly, the notion that we would see a wave of incoming transfers within hours or the portal opening seems to have been a fairy tale.
That said, there seem to be clear signs that the coaching staff is taking a more aggressive stance toward the portal this year, and I am hopeful that we will see some results for this effort. But the Iowa staff is going to do its due diligence on all of these guys. The players will likely explore multiple potential opportunities. There will be campus visits, etc. I believe there is reason for optimism, but we will have to be patient as these things play themselves out.
Tyler Goodson’s former school.
There were people on here stating Copeland was gonna be gone???????
I think that was based on an Instagram page lolThere were people on here stating Copeland was gonna be gone???????
What school is Washington from?Also the db Washington is meeting with pp. He's a ball hawk and would fit in with our d very well
Harvard? 2 time all conference dbWhat school is Washington from?
Oh ok I was confused because I saw a tweet saying Iowa was meeting with Harvard DB Khalil Dawsey. Turns out we're meeting with two Harvard DB's then. What a secondary for an Ivy league school!Harvard? 2 time all conference db
Will we be potentially the smartest virgins in the big ten?Oh ok I was confused because I saw a tweet saying Iowa was meeting with Harvard DB Khalil Dawsey. Turns out we're meeting with two Harvard DB's then. What a secondary for an Ivy league school!
Multiple recruits because you don't always get the one you are after.I wonder if another RB is leaving? So KJ, Leshon and Patterson are 1/2/3 on depth chart, it seems like we are "in" on at least two RB's and visiting more, unless we feel we need to target several before bringing one on board, or perhaps they play a different position once they get here.
1. Stanford transfer - may be ISU lean with his brother there
2. Nebraska decommit (2023 class) - most likely commit IMO
3. Deago Benson from TX (2023 class)
4. Coney (App State commit, 2023 class)
Also, assuming you are limited in how many commitments you will accept at a position, having multiple targets puts a little pressure on each guy to commit (before the offer is gone).Multiple recruits because you don't always get the one you are after.
This is beginning to suck. I understand why he is leaving, but I loved me some Scary Terry.

And at thime pont of the game, time is money (literally now!)Also, assuming you are limited in how many commitments you will accept at a position, having multiple targets puts a little pressure on each guy to commit (before the offer is gone).
Gotta invite at a 2-1 ratio!
Only if we can do some alternative announcements for entering the portal.I am thinking of naming it the *****OFFICIAL SHIT SHOW / PORTAL POTTY THREAD*****
thoughts?
it would be interesting to have one thread showing / discussing who has left, who's coming, and who Iowa is looking at. but i guess we need a thread each time someone enters the portal
this portal potty, as I have stated before, stinks!
Looks good.
