Seriously, what QB would want to come to an offense that throws for less than 100 yards a game on most occasions?!
For $1.5M, Penn St QB Beau Pribula has Committed to Missouri after Visiting IOWA Wed, Dec 18. Will Iowa add a 6th QB to the Roster?

We have to remember that Kirk and staff may look at the portal differently than we do as fans. Kirk has no intention of trying to build the program with players from the portal. The portal simply adds to the foundation built from recruiting. We as fans may have a hard time wrapping our arms around that.
Kirk and Lester both like Brown so they have their first piece to add to the competition at QB. As another poster pointed out they may feel good about some of the young players coming up on defense and both the lines. Iowa plays the portal game patiently.

You are trying to sell a guy on coming in and fixing the QB situation. You are selling that is why they need "QB X" to compliment a run game that will take pressure off of them. With our average defense rank and our offense getting to upper level because QB X is getting us there we are CFP bound.
QB's in the portal are looking for immediate playing time and feeding their ego (and pocketbooks) and ability to produce in the Big Ten and be on TV every game.
and that's a tough sell when said QB has other schools that have shown they value dynamic offense and a passing game.
Until Iowa gets significantly better in the passing game like they did the running game this year, you will continue to be behind the 8-ball when you are recruiting. We were/are the national punching bag for good reason in 22 & 23'. I think Lester will make a good jump on the pass game this next fall. That is for sure the hardest part to get going in the right direction and takes more time.
Sully hopefully changes that. Missouri in a week will show us what he is made of, lots of practice reps leading up to it. An SEC opponent that will test us… we won’t have KJ and won’t have him next year. If Sully can play healthy and show what is possible with a good QB we might be able to grab some better talent in next years portal.
Unfortunately that means more than backup at Iowa the past several seasons. He doesn’t have to get 3,000 passing yards to prove to recruits/transfers that Iowa is trending up. If he goes out at throws for even 2,000 and we win it will open doors… ND is in CFP and averages under 200 a game…
IF it were between us and Mizzou, Lester must have done one helluva selling job because you are right, the recent QB & WR history at Iowa is not good at all
Walmart money (aka NIL) is also hard to say no to as well
guessing money NOW is the biggest factor and not who Iowa is put in the NFL
People gave KOK and Nate Stanley a lot of grief on here.
Seems longer than 5 years.
The story from HawkCentral:
The Hawkeyes haven’t had an individual pass for more than 2,000 yards in a single season since Nate Stanley accumulated 2,951 in 2019, and that was when the position group was still coached by Ken O'Keefe.
How concerned should fans be about Iowa football's quarterbacks room?
Iowa football's quarterback play was a disaster last season. Is the team equipped to show improvement this season?

Stanley was inconsistent with his throws. He was light years better then Petras, Hill, McNamaraPeople gave KOK and Nate Stanley a lot of grief on here.

Hassel said rumor is Pribula got $1.5M. Good grief.
NIL era sucks! At least before we could have convinced him with Casey's pizza.
So the chicken or the egg, right? How do you get better in the passing game without getting better QB's?
I demand that @PvssyIowaFanClosesVotingEarly (who joined this site today at 6:44 AM) like this post before he gets banned and has to create a new account!
Thank you.
Thank you.

Richmond QB Coleman? is the only Barnes follow, I actually liked His game tapes far better than Brown's, Brown's New Mexico Tape showed at least 3 pick 6 throws against CBs who are not glorified HS players, late and behind His WRs on the short out throws, Not impressed at all with Brown from the New Mexico and Arkansas game tapes.
I have no idea, but obviously they’d like another QB, and there will be more that enter the portal. They get five days after their bowl games this year.
Gonowski from SDSU?
No we dont. What planet are you from?
I’d like us to give Hauss Henjy a look, shorter QB and have no idea if he has a good arm but is lightning quick and would be a good wildcat type guy. Or just roll with Sully and wait for next cycle to see if a dual threat or at least mobile guy enters
He is not slow. Suggest you watch his hschool highlights.
Good size, vision and footwork.
Lots of upside.
Hope your cyclones suck it.
Left tackle could be a huge problem. No depth to speak of at either tackle position either.
Few guys out there yet… but maybe lauck is good enough to start there next year, would like to get the best option we can in Portal for LT next year, could be a huge problem like you said
1.5 million for this qb. ridiculous numbers in portal right now
Interesting that the SWARM CEO stated that Pribula picked Mizzou because of fit and it didn’t have to do with money.
Maybe we use that money for Gronowski and a WR?
Planet Optimism as I believe TL can get 2 of 3 to an average (60%+ completion and be a run threat).
