How convenient for you we'll never know if Brock would have still chose ISU over Iowa or Notre Dame since he had an offer from neither on decision day. Have already heard clown fans say they got him over Iowa and ND...that's simply false!
Mekhi Sargent is a proven college RB, Brock not.

Who cares what happened. The facts are that Iowa had room for one back and they took Goodson. ISU got a couple good backs. Both schools and fans should be happy. The bickering of HS kids is just dumb. No on even knows how good this kids will be till the see the college football field.
If Iowa was truly pressuring Brock, canceling his official visit makes no sense at all. It would have been the ideal opportunity to full court press him.
The reality is, Iowa cancelled his visit b/c Sargent and Goodson committed and they no longer had room for Brock.
The reports I have heard said Brock wanted to be a Jedi, but the force wasn't with him.
Their defense runs a power spread too. Reminds of my college days ... throttling with power that spread but I digress.

It's a newer offense. Not ran by many teams.

Couldn't help but notice goldandbold is radio silent after a mod asked him for a source. Bold strategy to make up your own quote.
Not quite sure. Three years to play three is all I know.
This has nothing to do with it, but he’s a good kid and teammate from what I’ve heard. Should fit the culture at Iowa. Excited to see what role he finds.
Most JUCO schools aren't chock full of D1 recruits. Places like IWCC and EMCC are the exception, not the norm. On 247, there were only 247 JUCO players even rated (2-5 Stars) this past season, and that's spread across almost 70 schools.
The large majority of their rosters are filled by D3/D2 level guys who either didn't have the grades or money, or are holding out for something better. Couple that with an extremely high rate of roster turnover, and what results is somewhat better, but not leagues better, football.
Here are the Division I signees from teams on Iowa Western's 2017-18 schedule that released a list last signing day.
Independence CC: 14 FBS, 5 FCS
Hutchinson CC: 16 FBS, 4 FCS
Butler CC: 8 FBS, 7 FCS
Coffeyville CC: 13 FBS, 5 FCS
Garden City CC: At least 4 FBS.
Highland CC: 6 FBS, 4 FCS
Northwest Mississippi: 9 FBS, 4 FCS
That is definitely not leagues better. Throw in the D2 kids and it is a size able difference
I have ties ALL over the football community. Alvarez,Stoops, Mac are all good friends and have been at my home many times.
What will be glorious is when we pound them for the 4th year in a row. To me this fall's game just seems like it will be when where everyone thinks it will be close but Iowa takes over and rolls. Any Clone fan that says Clones will win ask them how much $? Watch them back track faster than your kids when it is time to clean their rooms.
This site desperately needs something similar to CyFan where all of the rivalry posts are exclusively in a specific folder: prevents garbage from spewing out elsewhere.
I think you’re right here, although I’m sure the Cyclones will be more pass-centric than the Hawkeyes. Otherwise, Campbell has been recruiting all of these rangy fast wide receivers for no reason.
One reason for Kansas State’s successful run is that they have been a power running team, which is an outlier in the Big 12.
They made the decision "Not to take" the player, but evidence shows they weren't going to be chosen by said player anyway. It appears that the JC kid and GA prep are good alternatives.
It is always nice to have friends in high places. I am doing some reading into Mehki and cannot find that article. Normally by right clicking you can get to the source of the article but with yours I am not able to do that. I like to add things like that to the Twitter thread so people can read them when they have a few minutes. TIA.
Iowa has seen better sets of wr's in the BIG. And I think ISU's are decent.
btw, Lazard was rangy but not fast.
FWIW, if Sargent were coming to ISU, I would be pretty happy about it.
I'm excited about having this kid on the field. He is from Florida, played against some of the best Florida has to offer and then became first-team All-Juco ... That's not a bad resume. Of course, nobody knows how a high school/Juco kid's game will translate to the big stage but on paper, I like what I see. More important, the Iowa coaches liked what they saw.
