FS is probably one of our most consistent positions under Phil. Kid has a ton of offers but not P4. We definitely trust PP on DB’s and especially FS.
Drew MacPherson Commits to the Hawks
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
Iowa also offered Pat Fitzgerald's son Ryan who plays with Drew
Both he and Drew rec'd all conference awards:
Football All Conference Awards
The Chicago Catholic League (CCL) announced their All Conference selections for the Catholic League Blue, and the Ramblers have earned some incredible recognition—including Coach of the Year!
It's still mind-blowing that we have a guy (guys) on the defensive side of the ball with such an eye for talent and potential while on the offensive side...it's such a train wreck.
So glad you asked!
2002 is far back as the Rivals information goes. Between the 2002 class and the 2019 class, Iowa recruited 82 scholarship defensive backs. Of those DBs, 57 had a better offer list than MacPherson, 7 had a similar offer list and 18 had a worse offer list.
Here’s a breakdown of how many players in each category became regular starters at Iowa in some point in their career:
Better offer list: 32% became regular starters
Similar offer list: 57% became regular starters
Worse offer list: 56% became regular starters
To sum up, people who bitch about the offer list of DB recruits at Iowa need to find something else to cry and moan about.
In Phil we trust. The guy has proven himself to be a defensive guru. If Phil says "let's get this guy", do it.
The other side of the ball...not so much.
I'm not going to check the validity of your claim because I really don't care. There's a better chance of success with players who are sought after by quality programs than not, which is the reason for the comment by the poster you replied to originally. You can disagree with his sarcastic statement, but I wouldn't say he was bitching, nor am I.
At the defensive back position at Iowa, the facts show that this is clearly not the case.
I prefer to live in a world of facts instead of believing things because they seem like they should be true.
Jesus was most likely a good person but also probably a little crazy.
Yeah.
As I’ve said many times. There is just no way all of our offensive players are that bad.
Great idea. Feel free to stop wasting any time at all on this site.

Everybody
Take your own advice. Your reaction score is not good. Nobody likes you in other words.
Am I the only one around here that knows reactions only became a thing in the last three to five years?
Cooms has been an informed regular since the Super Hawkeye Pre Rivals Days if memory serves , Internet recruiting sites only gained real traction around the time Fry was leaving and Kirk coming in. Most of the Ohio recruiting info I used to backdoor thru My connections with some old Bucknuts post Army Friends, It was a different World back then, better actually . There are a few left on here and if they give up the goods it is going to be solid info.
It's forgivable to be this emotionally stunted but it is not forgivable to spray it like a power washer to our collective eyes on this site.

I started following in about 99 or 2000 latest when I lived in CA. I remember the shadow 0044 or something like that, seemed to have recruiting intel ahead of most.
