Possible Portal Targets Thread

This is the open up the checkbook scenario they should have been waiting for. I have to imagine there’s very few schools that can offer the NIL and opportunity for both players like Iowa can.
Does Iowa have the offense the allure to get a good offensive player? Sounds like Kirk is part of the problem for Iowa in the portal. Lack of offensive production is a limiting factor not just money
 
It will be interesting over the next 5 days to see the additional players hit the portal from teams that played after the 28th.
 
Is this all wishful thinking re: Gronowski or does the Iowa media and some insiders know something? I keep seeing winks and nods on socials re: this QB.
It is a weaker NFL QB class but where does Mark grade out? Maybe the Iowa media is trying to wish this to be true and they are more connected than most/all of us yet interesting nonetheless. Maybe Lester's IL connection tree reaches the Gronowski's?

With a solid year he vaults up as a pick, for comp a 3rd round pick is between 5.5-6 million, so that’s 1.5 per season. I don’t think the nfl is what keeps him away from Iowa, similar to last season with cam ward
 
Both are good DBs , Garcia has some majors offers already i saw.

Gronowski is on Campus right now
thanks for the update, it is ****ing cold out today. Glad the kid isn't transferring from down south. Any idea where else he is visiting? Sounds like USC, and Miami have made contact, but that is purely second hand info.

No clue but Iowa got the Visit and Barnes is following His Dad too and at Iowa He knows He would be close to Home, Be QB1, get paid and have a veteran OL, good TEs and RBs , Iowa's tough sell is the same as always the WR room but if Iowa can get Gronowski I bet they have a good chance to bring Wilde in to be His WR1

Well said, NIL should be north of $1 mil a year, no? Iowa brand, great coaches, stability, prep for NFL might be enough to overcome the offensive stigma and as you mentioned open the door for more WR's to come here if they see it happening in Iowa City.
 
I know that Xavier Lucas was rumored to be headed to Miami, but has he actually been able to enter the portal? Or is this going to become a tampering issue? I can't seem to dig anything up.
 
QB, WR, DT , CB , OT the areas Iowa really could use some help in the portal, cross DT off the list of needs now , 2 really good gets there , Progress while slow is progress

Do you think last years “tampering” violation with what’s his nuts is making us jump through every hoop while other teams are putting on the full court press with some of these kids? Making us always playing catch up with initial contact and NIL???
