The Gary Anderson recruiting folly greatly benefitted Iowa's 2016 class. Besides Stanley, RB Toren Young played high school football just a short drive from Camp Randall, basically their backyard. Young was conference and all-area MVP, Wisconsin 1st Team all-state both AP and coaches, almost 2,800 yards rushing and 28 TDs as a senior. 5ft11 220 - could be the bruiser in a future "1-2 punch" Iowa backfield.

Anderson did good things for Iowa...even beat Iowa

Thanks OP. Nice article.

Wow, both the writer and Drew Tate seem to agree that Iowa's offense is complex and takes a long time to learn. So the coaches weren't just making that up so they could avoid playing the best quarterback?

Thanks Op
Very good Article

It's so difficult to learn that a true freshman is the No. 2 QB over a kid who's been in the system for a few years and who was the backup last year. FWIW.

Wow, that article got me really excited about the future. Up until that read, I knew very little about this young man. Very impressed.

It's a complex playbook.. Basic to begin with and each week they throw more wrinkles in. It's why typically you see upperclassmen at skill positions early on. Stanley beating out weigers is a big deal. Hopefully Iowa can get some wideouts to help him along.. That is the thing that hurt Tate the most.. Hinkle and Solomon left, there wasn't much left.

Sounds like most of his tools are ahead of the curve, let's just hope the accuracy catches up.

Below is the interview with Stanley that Chad referenced in his article.

Hard to teach or learn accuracy.

and a 4* recruit

Exactly my worry

 

[Kurt Warner]

Very good read, sounds very very promising

 

[Roy-munson]

and a 4* recruit

Stanley was consider a 4 star by scout.. Cook was consider a 4 star by ESPN.

You're assuming that they both know the playbook equally and have the same skill set. I don't think that's the case...

Damond Powell keeps the playbook in his night stand and uses it like most do the Bible. Will most likely never read the whole thing but you never know.

Kidding aside, I hope the kid gets better (his wheels were unreal): http://www.espn.com/blog/arizona-ca...ond-powell-remains-in-hospital-status-unclear
