National Signing Day

[GunnerHawk]

very average class....nothing really sticks out as a HUGE get

Then you must be looking at only the star ratings. The DL prospects are probably the most athetic group we have ever recruited. QB is a solid mobile QB prospect. TE's look well above average. Two 4-star OL. Those three Iowa LBers are all very good athletes. Average, NOT. Four years from now people will ask, where did Iowa get some of these guys?

KJ Parker I was referencing

Oh, gotcha, thought I just saw a tweet that he's signed as well.

 

[jonesy5960]

my English not work great today...Good lord, I meant to ask you if you would prefer a WR or OT?

Yes please.

 

[twindman]

Doll at RB would make a lot of RBs in the fold. I think he was some sort of all state or such as LB, tho.

 

[herkhatescy]

He will be a RB. Have you seen him play?

No I haven't. Just going on the past. White smaller fast guys are SS or cornerbacks in Ferentz's mind. And I'm sure if Phil wants him Phil gets him.

Not sure if he has signed, they are apparently waiting for a parents signature according to Sanderson.

Same type of class Iowa gets year in and year out.

ranked #32 in the country according to Rivals.

Some very good looking PWO's also.

 

[Franisdaman]

Will be interesting to see how Doll is used beyond the RB position. Kick off returns?

Agree 100%!!! Iowa has failed to land a dynamic playmaker on offense once again! Sorry guys but until they get somebody who is lightning fast that can stretch the field and make opponents scheme for him, this offense will continue to be subpar. After watching Jaylen Watson's tape, he could really excel at WR but of course he is slotted to play defense.

We have play makers at RB and TE.

 

[hawkfan1963]

Anyone have the PWO list?

Tyler Barnes On Jaylen Watson:

He was unguardable at wide receiver, but we saw him as a DB. He was awesome for someone that hadn’t played the position.

🤨 Having an offense is overrated.

I know this is a Rival's site, but if you look at 24/7 six or seven of Iowa's recruits are 4-stars.......Rivals:1. Not sure what to make of it.

Why can’t I see most of Fran’s embedded tweets? Says “This tweet is unavailable “

Karner realizing he is making a mistake on signing day.

Interesting comments about a QB recruit

 

[Franisdaman]

 

[twindman]

Saw something about Watson kid from Toledo being 'unguardable' as a receiver. Also good as a DB. So of course we sign him as a DB, not receiver. Seems like this happens a lot. Why?

 

[Packer54]

10 defensive/SP signees. I will give those coaches the benefit of the doubt that they are GREAT additions.
QB that runs a 4.55 (like it!)
230 lb RB (I like it)
6'4" WR (I like it)
3 O-Linemen (I like it)

Now....we will see how it shakes out but I like this class on the surface.
