James Resar '24 QB Commits

[IowasLaw]

I'm reminded when Deuce Hogan, a 4 star gun slinger with moxie out of Texas committed and instantly started recruiting other members of his class. Fast forward a few years later, Kirk's playing the Big 10's worst QB every single down, and when the media asks if he ever considered giving Hogan a shot, Kirk snorted, said something incredibly snarky like "if he gets in there, you know we're in trouble," then Hogan transfers out of the program weeks later. All so that Kirk could stick up for his son for playing Petras every down and justify his mistakes like a classic bully.

I hope this kid is good, but when his claim to fame is his 100 m dash time at QB, I'm thinking he never enrolls at Iowa.

 

[BonzoFury]

This one cuts both ways potentially.

1. Great to get a recruit of this talent level
2. I can see KFz saying "see, I am doing it the right way. I'm not changing"

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Find the right QB to get some talent to come with him. Has to at least like that he has a defense that will help out and THEN SOME.

Really hope that the ship can be corrected, but need an OC that calls the game THEY want. Only let Kirk have input on going for it on 4th down.

 

[ClarindaA's]

You can also go back and listen to the WUW episode where he talks about MSU recruiting him to play WR. I’ll take his word for it. There’s a lot that goes on in the recruiting process that we don’t know about. I can’t imagine there’s much incentive for him to lie about it.

Never had an offer, I think the argument between you two is semantics

 

[SarasotaHawk]

Welcome aboard James. By the time you hit campus, Iowa will have better OL, as good or better RB's and better Receiver options. I am convinced that movements to address the offense problems are in process.

 

[Dude McHawks]

Normally I'd be excited but I can't help but wonder if there is something wrong with this guy

 

[hawkod]

Wow, he watched yesterdays game and thought this is the route he wanted to go….

Maybe Kirk told him this would be Brian's last year?

 

[HFan1981]

This kid looks great. Welcome to our dysfunctional family.

 

[Greenway4Prez]

Never had an offer, I think the argument between you two is semantics

Probably. Being recruited by, and being offered, are two very different things.

 

[HawkPT]

I hope this commit is signaling a philosophical shift in what type of quarterback and offense we are trying to put on the field

Marco Lainez, Iowa's 2023 QB recruit from the NE, is also supposed to be mobile and a dual threat, so they seem to be looking to change the profile of that position a little bit. I'm not sure that can happen soon enough.

 

[Hawkeye_4_Life]

Welcome aboard!

He has some serious wheels for a 6'4 kid. Throws very well on the move as well. Arm seems lively enough.

He’ll be converted to TE when he gets here.

 

[Franisdaman]

He is considered a dual threat QB.

He ran the 100M in 10.86 last season.

 

[ItsAllBallBearingsNowadays]

Further along the lines of what’s already been posted. If he’s that good, how can he commit to that shit show after witnessing it in person?

 

[MeetTheFerentzes]

With any luck the Ferentz boys will be long gone by fall of ‘24, but this kid will still be coming. I have absolutely no faith that they can take a QB talent like this, develop him into a solid Big Ten QB and use his skills wisely. If things continue on their current course, this guy has “2027 transfer portal” written all over him…

I keep hoping I’m proven wrong about KF and BF, but instead I keep getting proven right…

 

[83Hawk]

Further along the lines of what’s already been posted. If he’s that good, how can he commit to that shit show after witnessing it in person?

He probably knows he is already better than anyone currently on the team.

 

[kceasthawk]

Welcome aboard! Why be pessimistic shits on this thread?

Really? And your surprised by the comments.....

Maybe the only good thing to happen this weekend. Hopefully they have some sort of 21st century offense in place by the time he steps on campus.

He probably see's how pathetic Iowa's QB room is and thinks he could be a day one starter. I think he is from the same HS as Myslinski

 

[NevadaHawk]

Welcome, James! You appear to have some intangibles that would be a benefit to our offense. Glad to have you with us!

 

[TDJ7]

Can't wait to watch him play tight end.

 

[HawkLogic]

This is your weekly reminder that Ricky Stanzi was recruited by Michigan State to play wide receiver. If this current staff remains in place, that speed and athleticism will be coached right out of him.

HOWEVER!!

Maybe my dream of Willie Korn being our next OC is coming true, because this kid is a hell of a lot like Grayson McCall.

Haha, I know. I’m dreamin’.

ESPN shows no MSU offers to Rick Stanzi.......so provide a link on msu recruited stanzi as WR.

Did I say he was offered to play WR? Nooooooo.

Did Rick Stanzi, in the midst of a 40+ minute interview on the WUW podcast, say that he was being recruited by MSU to play WR? Yes. I don’t know the extent of his recruitment.

 

[Shafthawk]

Maybe he sees a strong Defense, great Special Teams, and a team in need of a QB that can make plays.

Maybe he has been told changes are coming on the Offense.

 

[hawkod]

Impressive game highlights but where can I find some clips of him practicing?

My nomination for post of the year.

 

[mvhomerl]

IF he actually show's in IC... never see a snap. Transfer portal after a year or two.

 

[herkhatescy]

After watching Petras he probably thought hell I'm better than him I can play here.

 

[Lumas Etima]

He is considered a dual threat QB.

He ran the 100M in 10.86 last season.

Based on his 100M time (and his high school
rushing stats and video), it does seem like Resar could be a dual-threat guy.

But FWIW, his Rivals profile lists him as a “pro-style,” not a dual-threat. (Not that Rivals is always accurate in this regard. As an example, James Vandenberg was considered a dual-threat QB coming out of high school.)

 

[funnyfletcher]

Good thing he committed this early, get him a playbook so he’ll know the offense by his redshirt junior season.

 

[KFsdisciple]

photos from recent game

Here's some photos of BK's game against Tocoi

 

[blhawk]

Maybe he has been told changes are coming on the Offense.

And maybe he's young and naive enough to actually believe it

 

[Stormn Norman]

Silver lining! Young man has got some straight line speed too!

 

[Franisdaman]

James Resar committed before the Clown U game.

He scored 10 rushing TDs last season on a broken leg.

“I’m faster than most of the people chasing me, which gives me an advantage. I can buy time to find a receiver or gain yards with my legs."

 

[Franisdaman]

Ouch.

 

[obfuscating]

Long time between now and 24 signing date.

Wonder if BF promised a change in philosophy...

 

[Birky]

Based on his 100M time (and his high school
rushing stats and video), it does seem like Resar could be a dual-threat guy.

But FWIW, his Rivals profile lists him as a “pro-style,” not a dual-threat. (Not that Rivals is always accurate in this regard. As an example, James Vandenberg was considered a dual-threat QB coming out of high school.)

He had 90 Carries for 828 yards last year. They can list his as a right guard if they want. I’m going to call him a QB that can run the ball.

 

[GableEdge]

He was told that Iowa plays to the strengths of the QB and knew this was true after seeing the first 2 games.

What’s wrong with our fan base? We get a true dual threat QB that we have been begging for and we have a bunch of negative posts about him. He’s got as clear a path to the starting job as he’ll find in a power 5 team and I agree withWestCoast. Hope springs eternal…

 

[pistachio1999]

Ouch.

Probably because he thinks he can hit wide open receivers.

 

[pistachio1999]

Spencer Petras had very impressive game highlights in high school. Ken O' Keefe picked him.

Worried about his throwing motion, not a great offer list and the coaching/development won't be good. I wish I could be more optimistic.

I learned my lesson with Deuce Hogan.
