Possible Portal Targets Thread

We could make a run at Keagan Johnson or Josh Bostick, thise fellas appear to be looking for their third home. I was a little surprised to see that Johnson didn’t shine as much as most thought he would, his numbers were petty much the same in Manhattan as they were in his fr year in IC.
So you're saying Kirk is lying when he describes Iowa as a developmental program ??!!
 
Would be nice to let Laulk develop one more year. If he’s too good not to play let him go guard for a year or something. If he commits I feel better about OL a little. If the Miami of Ohio DB commits that help with depth or potential starter. Get a WR and DL and it’s a decent haul so far
Always a balancing act between a portal target and young players on the roster with potential.

Imagine trying to convince these Texas kids to come here when they can’t even walk around campus due to the ice… like “hey ethan do you own and ice skates for the tour today?”

Probably not it our budget if he’s the top guy. But… if they are shifting their resources from QB acquisition to linemen, then maybe. I’d fully support that strategy as well.
I’d think a lot of QBs would look a lot better with a 6’6 345lb tackle and 6’8 317lb tackle on other side… move dunker and Laulk to guard for the year and our RBs would feast lol. A man can dream
 
Iowa State landed that great receiver from East Carolina. Must be nice.
 
Pete Nakos has a list of top NIL collectives out. He is as well informed as anyone on it. Ohio St is #1, Nebraska is #8. Mizzou is #10.... That surprises me. This is indicative of how well run each collective is run and shows that major money can be raised from smaller markets. The Swarm needs to step up.
Get your checkbook out !

After a year in the program, players should be fully ready to play ball.
 
He had about twice as many yards and TDs last year as Seth Anderson had in his year.
I just meant he’s the exact same size. Another Z and slot receiver type. We are putting a lot of stock into Vander Zee, Howard or Terrance Smith to play the X receiver. We haven’t had a good X receiver since Brandon Smith

It will be great to have a true X, but I’d rather have a really good receiver than just a big body.

Maybe they feel really good about Vander Zee? I can see how they might.
 
Beau Pribula getting some follows from Hawkeye media??? Penn state backup that enters a week before their playoff game? I thought the dude was kind of a baller when he played.
*edit* also followed by Barnes. Must be looking at him… would he be better than Sully? Weird times n College football

They’d be nuts not to make a run at him. You’re right, he is a baller.
