And I can't even think of a tight end we have had say the last 10 years I would consider a bust or not very good but still played.
New Tight End Commit
- Thread starter nosok23
- Start date
It's because Kirk is racist and doesn't want to bring in all the elite black tight ends.
Maybe other universities should be recruiting 3 star talent, with a solid frame to build on and who love football.
It is clear that the staff is getting EXACTLY who they want at the position.
Questioning Iowa's recruiting strategy at the TE position is just plain dumb.
I thought they were recruiting him as a tight end? I wouldn’t think they would take three after taking two last year.
They are recruiting Mason as an athlete. He can play other positions.
Yeah, a bit of stretch but not outside of KF's mindset. He loves him some puntersRight, because thats the same thing.......
OL was a glamrous position as well, that hasn't panned out over the last 4yrs. Only Lindy and he was poached from the Defense.
Lindy was also a highly touted 4 star US Army All American. Iowa's new TE commit is not that. Perhaps the coaches see him putting on weight, though, and moving to left tackle.
Wisconsin didn’t offer and they don’t have a TE commit in that class.
Maybe he’s destined to be a trusty 2nd-stringer. Nothing wrong with that - TE is the absolute least of our concerns.

No, he was not a 4 star, he was the lowest rated 3star at the game, and dominated.
Uhhh no. He was definitely a 4 star. It’s not too hard to look up. But other than that, great point. Thanks for contributing to the thread.

He was definitely a 3 star by rivals. It's not that hard to look up. But other than that, great reply. Thanks for continuing to prove your ineptness at multiple levels.
DE and LB are always recruited heavy as well. Like 4 every year. Only 2 on the field at the same time. It is how we get quality players at those positions. Pure numbers. If we recruited 6 WR every year we would come up with some talent based on numbers alone. That’s sarcasm by the way. How about more than 1QB every year? Maybe would have avoided the shitshow we had last year but at the expense of what position?
Picking the right QB is key. Grabbing more then one QB each year sounds great but its also the highest portal position on the roster. Regardless of what most here think MOST schools play one guy most of the time, and pretty much every school has one or two QB's hitting the portal every year.
As did Iowa last year and they sucked at qb. My point is all the DE’s, LB’s and TE’s they recruit more than have a chance to play much. The shear numbers will get you some talent if you can recruit at all.. It’s why we always have decent if not great players at those positions.
LOL about people complaining about having too many TE's when our 4th and even 5th string guys were forced to play last season.
Playing your 4th team te is justification for having more scholarship TEs than WRs? Most teams START 3 WRs and play 8.
With an 85 scholarship limit, you have to be smart about distribution and shouldn’t load up on a position that typically has 1 player (2 at most) in the field. The Hawks under recruited, numbers wise, at OL and WR and it bit them in the rear.
