He was on scholly but has exhausted his eligibility.

Going to have to be more than a few leave as Iowa is at 89 now and Schulte and All still yet to decide! Ive heard of a few medical Retires that will be announced soon but we are still 4 over w/o those 2 announcements. Ive also seen that Fischer wants to come back so that would be another 1. Good problem to have!
All has already decided that he's not coming back. Fisher has not been asked back.
Fisher is coming back, Dochterman just stated it.
Interesting! Seems like a wasted scholly to me. He played just over a quarter of the defensive snaps and Sharar has to have greater upside than him. Fisher was one of the key special teamers, I suppose.
There is an article that might be helpful to read just in the middle of this page. Also, not all of those 7 portal players are on scholly.
Good problem for Phil and the defense, not so much for the growth of the offense.......
Minny had a boat load of players leave so yeah they have a lot of free rides to hand out
Luckily one WR ran out of eligibility and another left the program…excited about Brown, but a nice portal pickup would be welcome …oh yeah - replace the entire OL…😉
I would think the incoming OC will start to weed out who isn't cut out for his offense (or at least hope the new OC has the latitude to do so). If KF truly cares about the program and "wins on game day" then he hopefully has had a come-to-jesus meeting with the guy in the mirror.
No, Ty Thompson did not come to Iowa. He committed to Tulane and cancelled the visit.
"Got rid of" is probably too harsh of a description. But of the many players that have left over the last several years, I imagine a fair number of them were encouraged to leave. And by "encourage", I mean an honest discussion with a player letting them know that their opportunity to play would be very limited.
This is their greener pasture. They would have great difficulties starting at a large number of power 5 schools.
Yeah he got another job
I felt the same way but then someone pointed out that Caden Crawford is now DT-sized, so at least there is a bit more there now at least in terms of numbers.
Yeah Brackney according to this site was at 285 on singing day last year, I imagine a pound or two has been added since
Well can we get enough NIL to get either of Mich's DTackles to transfer. I thought Graham was really good, high motor. But the other tackle who is 340 lbs and runs like a Lbkr was awesome in the Champ game.
Jeremiah Pittman is a good prospect with two more years of eligibility left. He did get some playing time this past season. Then we have Crawford, Brackney and Borcherding-Johnson in the classes behind him. We are in good shape at DT.
I didn’t include him because my intention was just to list freshman DT’s who might have passed up Thompson during the season. Pittman was clearly already ahead of Thompson on the depth chart.
