Gronowski is on the Iowa Campus right now on a Visit .
- Thread starter Heathen Raider
- Start date
If this were to be true, I'd be ecstatic.
This is the type of QB I was hoping for. One who wants to prove he can do it at the big level but has already proven he is good for multiple years.
They are from sdsu and midwest...weather means diddly
Iowa needs a floor general out on the field! I think MG fits the bill. If he can read defenses and counter it would be a huge difference in what we’ve been seeing. With his legs he can extend plays and drives as well! Iowas line needs to be serviceable and progress throughout the year. If and a big if they can sway this young man to play his 5th year it may be KFs last swing before retirement!
I hate the weather argument people make. I love a chilly fall day for football.
These would be amazing additions.
I am totally shocked that we even got a visit, but it really is a big risk on his part to come here with the way our passing game has been the last 5 years. Considering he has rushed for over 1,700 yards in his career, we haven’t shown even with Sully that we are willing to run a lot of read option.
I'll believe it when it happens. I'll be excited about it when he's on the field making things happen. We were all excited when Case McNamara was on campus.
Apparently On3 has a 100% prediction for him to transfer.
Pribula visited Iowa, UCF, and Ole Miss after Mizzou and still committed there.
Well as long as you've heard of them, that's all that matters, but they definitely weren't on ISU's schedule for football or basketball around the time of covid.............

Yeah I guess it was 2018, not Covid year. The Clowns early season game against SDSU was cancelled due to inclement weather. They added Incarnate Word to the schedule for a season ending game to replace the cancelled game. IW had to cancel that one because they made the FCS playoffs, so the Clowns scrambled and found Drake to play them. Drake damn near beat them that day.
They did. For not a late holding call, Drake probably wins that game.
It was a sloppy muddy mess.
The guy has almost 1,800 yds rushing and 10,000 yds passing in his career. Not sure what your definition of dual threat is.
Numbers have dipped a bit since the acl injury, but I don’t have enough know how to say that was merely line departures as well.
I’d be happy with a QB but even more so if we were bringing in some OL talent
Not sure it matters who’s taking snaps if the OL still can’t protect

The other thing iowa is famous for. Believing a better online will make bad players good
The Oline was good this year.
Ya, I don’t understand this narrative that the Oline sucked. #1 rushing offense and were too 20 in the country in fewest sacks allowed. They gave up basically 1 sack per game I believe..
Good at run blocking such that they very often didn't need to pass the ball much. I have no reason to believe run blocking won't still be effective next year, but IMO the jury is still out on how functional the OL will allow the passing game to be.
NCAA lists IA as #31, behind Penn St and 3 other BIG10 teams.

Maybe "good" but not "elite"....
That graphic is completely messed up. It only includes bowl games for some reason.
So he is deciding on the NFL draft or transferring to another school. He is projected mid to late round for the draft. So lets say it is 5-6 round he would get drafted. What type of money does a 5-6 round QB get? What do you think, realistically, he would get as a transfer?
I am sure all of this is weighing in on his decision.

Iowa wins the big ten in 2015 and goes to the playoff if Ott stays healthy. IMO I'm not sure how much it would have mattered to Iowa if he had come back in 2016. Might have helped him in the draft though.
You mean the game against an ELITE defense in his first game back from an ACL tear?? Also, how did our offense/QB do in that game against FCS talent?
I didn’t know he was that fleet footed … my bad … all the power to him and hope we land him… didn’t see his rushing yards at the time I looked him up - my bad
Yup, my bad as I stated I didn’t think he had that many rushing yards holy crap… he’s definitely legit as they come … I was premature on stating what I said and didn’t realize the kid can actually run and throw .. he’s a good one and hope we can land him - totally my bad …
Have no idea how legit this is. Don't have a twitterX acct to see the post comments.
