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?

Welp, at least that saga is over. Heard he isn't even guaranteed a starter position at Mizzou. He'll regret it if his ass rides the bench again this year. But so far, Iowa has to be the biggest loser in the B1G so far.


Glad to see your takes are still dog shit.

Being obtuse is cute, but I'll spell it out for you. Brian put our offense's reputation in the dog house. Even if Lester improved our offense this year, the perception nationally remains the same. It'll be years before Lester changes the national perception of our offense.
Let me spell it out for you.

A player trying to choose a school understands what's happening at the schools on his list at a level that goes far beyond national perception.

How'd Iowa get a visit from Pribula in the first place if he only knows them to be the worst offense in the country? Is he that desperate?

And since you mentioned it, Brian was a ways down on the list of what happened to Iowa's offense
 
Interesting that the SWARM CEO stated that Pribula picked Mizzou because of fit and it didn’t have to do with money.
Why was he asking for more money for high priority targets hours before Pribula committed?

Also what happened to the Kayden Proctor money from last year? Assuming it never got spent. Perhaps the donor got it back but won’t donate this time around after KP made off with part of it?

Let me spell it out for you. "Run the ball" isn't a compelling strategy for a quarterback who wants to get to the national football league. Your disingenuous takes aren't going to work here. We have the numbers that prove we have a history of being unable to develop successful quarterbacks, thanks to Brian. Want an example? Try having every QB since after Stanley transfer out. Yes, Brian's influence is still felt today and will continue to be felt until Lester gets the guys he wants to develop.

unfortunately Proctor got an initial payment and pretty sure he kept it

So why do think Pribula visited Iowa?

None of this has anything to do with him choosing Missouri.

I'd be willing to bet Pribula even knows that Lester was a good QB himself.

Give it up, 2Dense

Money, most likely. Visiting multiple schools likely causes his pay rate to go up if someone wants him badly enough. But acting like our offense's track history doesn't adversely affect our chances to pick up a transfer makes you as deluded as everyone thinks you are.

The irony of your username is you continue to remain blind to what's blatantly obvious. But that's why everyone cooks you when you post your stupidity.

I guess none of the recent transfers in have had a history book.

I notice you are now leaving out the part about Brian. Offensive history and attaching Brian to how Iowa's offense projects in the immediate future are two different things.

But no, I don't think recruits who have made the trouble to visit a school are too hung up on the school's past struggles. He could have visited anywhere if he's simply trying to leverage his price.

These kids' information is a have a hell of a lot more comprehensive than lazy narratives. Keep fishing though

Think critically, for 5 seconds. What do these kids want? They want production and success at thier position. Iowa has a history of NOT producing at these positions. This is in direct correlation to Brian. You can't have one without the other. We are one year out from when Brian was coaching, the affects of his poor coaching ability are still felt today.

Take that kid that went to Fresno State last year as an example, we tried to get him, but he decided to go a program like Fresno State. Many of the guys we get are either guys nobody wants or those who are moving up from the FCS and want a chance anywhere they can in the FBS. These aren't guys like the WR from Idaho who had a multitude of programs offering, as yet another example.

I'll keep providing real world examples and statistical evidence, you can keep waffling with your made up scenario nonsense.
 
Hassel said rumor is Pribula got $1.5M. Good grief.
More than 10% of our country live under the federal poverty level. People really have nothing better to do with their money than to donate to a fund in the hopes that it makes their "college" football team better? Chest thumping is a higher priority than helping others? 1.5 million for one "college" player? Sad.

You keep saying the same thing.

I'm sorry you don't get it

Welcome to earth and human society….
 
Is Pribula even gonna start at Mizzou?

If not, are these the going rates now?

$4.0M for a starting QB
$1.5M for a backup QB
Without any guarantees. Without any return to the donor. For what?

I still don’t have a problem with NIL. I think it’s sad and ignorant that supposed, successful people are willing to make such terrible “investments” with their money. If not for returns, but for beneficence, there are many better ways.

and anytime the NCAA has tried to put guard rails on, they get sued and lose

At this point I wouldn't be opposed to bringing in Camden Coleman the Richmond QB who has 2 years elg left so that there is a QB in every class , I liked His tape better than Brown's and He played in a RPO offense at Richmond and is a decent running threat and has played in 18 games

I got the money vibe reading about this. He loved Penn State and felt torn when they made the playoffs. But he also told Franklin he strongly considered leaving now because of the portal situation with QBs. Sounds like a great kid caught in the current crazy money grab. I like what Kirk said this new system has taught athletes some very bad lessons.

any link to Iowa?
 
Not confirmed. The article merely cites On3 without any other verification.

From the On3 article:

Sources tell On3 that the quarterback’s NIL package with the Tigers will pay him $1.5 million in 2025, on par with starting SEC quarterbacks. Missouri edged out Iowa, UCF and Ole Miss to land the quarterback. Pribula has an On3 NIL Valuation of $1.3 million.

A year ago, the top quarterbacks landed one-year financial agreements ranging between $750,000 to $2 million, led by Cam Ward and Riley Leonard. Those numbers have continued on the uptick in this cycle. Sources tell On3 that Jackson Arnold’s deal with Auburn is in the same range as Pribula’s.


 
Why do so many on here think Lester is the answer? What has he shown so far that differentiates him from his predecessors? And has his presence made a big difference in recruiting offensive studs? Have his game plans really excited the heart of Hawkeye fans or has it been just more of the same? I know it was only his first year, but I remember Hayden's first year (hell, first game) when it was obvious something was afoot. Not so much now, when we have improved everything surrounding this program since Fry took over. Now we are just held captive by Kirk and his concept of football. Hell, I've been a fan of the Hawks longer than he's been around. I should rightly have some expectations that things will get fixed and we will become a balanced, offensive power. So far, not feeling that change coming from the front office.
