So the site says 4 players haven't signed yet, Benson one of them. Obviously he signed his LOI. Have the other 3 signed?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


ONLY ON THIS BOARD would someone claim a consensus #1 JUCO LB, on every service that ranks recruits, to be inferior to a guy like Seth Benson whom we gave his first real offer to at the literal “11th hour”.

I HAVE SEEN IT ALL NOW. Our fan base is full blown homer 1000 mode.

In your haste to prove yourself a guru, unlike us lowly homers, you only prove your jerkism. Note the word "upside" in my post. Honas would have no doubt provided better immediate help. But Honas was not "consensus" all-American (http://www.njcaa.org/sports/fball/2017-18/all-americans/index) nor was he the best linebacker in his conference. He was the best uncommitted linebacker who could gain admission to a Big Ten school. (Btw, forgive my earlier, erroneous slight (since removed) on caliber of Kansas junior college football.) Note also that Benson committed last June, and had an offer from North Dakota State, which would beat more Power 5 teams than it would lose to. By your reckoning, Iowa should have passed on Greenway. He was also a SD State commit and (the horror) played eight-man ball. I'd suggest you give less reliance to ratings services. If they had serious meaning, Nebraska would have a winning record. For the long term, I'll take Benson.

Become a Minnesota fan. Thank you.

Welcome to the family Seth. After your red shirt year I know you will bring a strong work ethic to the Iowa program. Make the best of this opportunity!
