Penn St QB Beau Pribula has Committed to Missouri after Visiting IOWA Wed, Dec 18. Will Iowa add a 6th QB to the Roster?

Seriously, what QB would want to come to an offense that throws for less than 100 yards a game on most occasions?!

We have to remember that Kirk and staff may look at the portal differently than we do as fans. Kirk has no intention of trying to build the program with players from the portal. The portal simply adds to the foundation built from recruiting. We as fans may have a hard time wrapping our arms around that.

Kirk and Lester both like Brown so they have their first piece to add to the competition at QB. As another poster pointed out they may feel good about some of the young players coming up on defense and both the lines. Iowa plays the portal game patiently.

You are trying to sell a guy on coming in and fixing the QB situation. You are selling that is why they need "QB X" to compliment a run game that will take pressure off of them. With our average defense rank and our offense getting to upper level because QB X is getting us there we are CFP bound.
QB's in the portal are looking for immediate playing time and feeding their ego (and pocketbooks) and ability to produce in the Big Ten and be on TV every game.

and that's a tough sell when said QB has other schools that have shown they value dynamic offense and a passing game.

Until Iowa gets significantly better in the passing game like they did the running game this year, you will continue to be behind the 8-ball when you are recruiting. We were/are the national punching bag for good reason in 22 & 23'. I think Lester will make a good jump on the pass game this next fall. That is for sure the hardest part to get going in the right direction and takes more time.

Sully hopefully changes that. Missouri in a week will show us what he is made of, lots of practice reps leading up to it. An SEC opponent that will test us… we won’t have KJ and won’t have him next year. If Sully can play healthy and show what is possible with a good QB we might be able to grab some better talent in next years portal.

Brown is a Statue. Deacon Hill spees.

Sully was a backup at Northwestern. Let that sink in.

Unfortunately that means more than backup at Iowa the past several seasons. He doesn’t have to get 3,000 passing yards to prove to recruits/transfers that Iowa is trending up. If he goes out at throws for even 2,000 and we win it will open doors… ND is in CFP and averages under 200 a game…

We have 3 serviceable QB's. We need 2-3WRs that are man beaters and 3-4 OL that can give an average QB the time to read, progress, and throw. if we can't present a deep threat, we will be a perennial 7-9 win team in the new BIG.

 

[Franisdaman]

Cant really blame him. Probably a smart move for him assuming he starts. Iowa is a tough place to say yes to from a QB perspective today without a whole lot of money. Worst in nation isn't a great position to be selling from. Same goes for wide receivers. Lester needs to find a way to make the pass offense look respectable with what he has available in order to make Iowa a more appealing destination for these players.

IF it were between us and Mizzou, Lester must have done one helluva selling job because you are right, the recent QB & WR history at Iowa is not good at all

Walmart money (aka NIL) is also hard to say no to as well

 

[Franisdaman]

They got Sullivan in the spring, can happen again. But gotta admit the first 13 days in the portal have been a massive let down. I get missing out on QB with their offense being historically bad but not landing a DB or DE is shocking.

guessing money NOW is the biggest factor and not who Iowa is put in the NFL

OL is good. WR help is needed.

So he went to Mizzo... shocker!
