His TD throw with a Buckeye attached to his leg might be the second most memorable play for me after the Tate TD pass in the Cap One bowl.
Penn St QB Beau Pribula has Committed to Missouri after Visiting IOWA Wed, Dec 18. Will Iowa add a 6th QB to the Roster?
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
Beau Visiting Missouri tomorrow. Anyone hear if he’s scheduled anything at Iowa? Bring him in for a women’s basketball game in a packed Carver couldn’t hurt!
According to twatter feeds he was setting one up according to 247.
Thought scholarships were year to year. Colorado sent some packing when Deon got there. Have things changed?
Nope, not at all, and he was only able to get away with it year 1. He may suggest they will never see the field, and leaving is their choice.
Pribula would be the best QB on Iowa's roster. If Iowa can get him they should.

CJB bomb to Tevaun was pretty sweet - though we still lost 🙁
Bring in the best you can … Sullivan is not going to elevate Iowa to the next level in passing (as Tim has clearly stated - our passing is terrible). It’s officially a “business” now playing major college athletics…. If feelings get hurt … and guys leave etc … sadly … this is where we are at. Finally we are weeding out BF’s huge swing and misses … So let’s let Tim bring in as many QBs as he wants as it will all settle out and at least 3 of the guys will be gone any way before their career comes to a close….
He was told that they were going to pursue another QB so it isnt a surprise. And they absolutely should be….it wouldnt surprise me if they carried 6 QBs but if we sign another one and a current QB leaves, so be it
We dont sit ok at QB. We need to bring in a very capable QB that can be the starter
We don't have the $ to get him. He may visit and like Lester but in the end a bag of cash will help him decide.
that is sad part if Iowa can't even get another team's backup why even bother trying
For these athletes it's not always about the biggest pay check,.. go after him.
Let’s start an NIL to fund the bulldozers to demolish Kinnick Stadium. It’s the only solution.
This will be really interesting to watch over the years. I wonder how many players will actually be losing $ in the long run by chasing NIL paychecks by transferring every 1-2 years and losing out on good, consistent coaching and development? There won't be any way to prove it, but it makes sense that there will be a lot of players giving up potential NFL careers by selling-out to the highest NIL bidder.
Per cutting players. I thought the B1G had a no cut policy, but it wasn't an NCAA policy. And with an extra 20 scholarships available if you have the money, they can add several QBs and not have to Crean anyone.
Esp as the landscape evolves into a per-school cap (and potential becoming employees, maybe unionizing/bargaining). The wild west days only last so long. Consistently feeding guys into the NFL will remain the major tell.
They are not adding 20 scholarships. To your point, they are also not taking any scholarships away. It’s walk ons that are for the most part, being axed.
It’s been discussed ad nauseam, but it seems actually adding scholarships, even though approved my the NCAA, will not be happening for a number of reasons.
Still one of my favorite calls of all time.
"AHHH He caught it!!!! C.......J........BEATHARD!!!!!!!"
Good point, but they also have no guarantees regarding the NFL. Bird in the hand?
Good point from Eliot regarding Tim Lester (scroll down).
I don't think this program has the juice to pull this off today. Too much negative history to overcome. Prove me wrong Lester.
Just having the juice to get the visit is about 9 steps in the right direction, but my money isn’t on Iowa either.
That said, we’re not trying to beat out Oregon…
Stratton doesn't pass the eye test. I like Sully, but not sure he is the guy. Hank Brown I like, need to see him play. If we get Pribula I dont care who transfers out because of it. Guy seems like a bigger Trace McSorley.
I guess i don’t see the offensive struggles of the past to be as big of an obstacle as others do. It seems like an opportunity to sell a qb that he can be the one to change all that. The struggles were under the old OC and his offense, and that is all being replaced. We had a pretty significant jump last year in ppg while still missing the pieces we need to take the next step. You are the missing piece to that next step and we are putting together an rpo offense that is tailored to your abilities.
Come be the QB to turn it around.
That said, it’ll be tough to be out Cignetti.

Getting him to simply be interested in Iowa is huge, imo. Getting him to actually visit is even bigger.
Coaches told Hank they were going to try to get another QB in the portal
So is gettting him to visit like a close loss to Michigan or ISU and how will it positively impact the team next year?
