Quinn Schulte: "We ain't going nowhere."

Nice. He played quite well the past two years. Reliable, dependable, and his communication skills are integral to the success of the secondary. Saw a few people on Twitter saying "Dude sucks...we don't need him...hope he decides to go to dental school." I get being excited about Entringer's potential, but would they really rather have him and his 50 career defensive snaps starting, while having Kael Kolarik as the third safety? Yikes.

Defense is just about complete. Would feel a lot better if we added a depth piece at DT and ideally another at corner. Might be difficult with the current number of schollies.
 
Feel bad for all these younger football players to a degree.

We're seeing 24/25 year old players.

Hell, my grandson has teammates playing juco in their 3rd years.
That's not new though. It is rare for JUCO players to redshirt, but you can redshirt and then play 2 years. Or are they somehow playing 3 years in JUCO without a redshirt?

Playing 3 years...at least baseball.

Yeah, Schulte is a very solid player and he is the QB of that 2ndary. I think Phil's safeties could get more INTs except they are supposed to play deep and safe. And Schulte has some tough coverage assignments being 10 yards deep at the snap but needing to get to receivers in certain coverages.

Any chance Entringer could play CB?
 
I’ve never thought to myself: “Schulte is good.”

That being said, there’s an obvious benefit to playing alongside the same guys over several seasons.
You need to expand your thinking. He’s been a starter now for two years on one of the best defenses in the country. If he wasn’t the best safety on the team, he wouldn’t be starting. He’s smart, a sure tackler who hits like a ton of bricks. Oh…….and he’s a walk on whose dad is a highschool coach. He’ s very good

Tough to say with the limited amount that we've seen him play, but I would guess that he doesn't have the change of direction agility needed to succeed at corner. Maybe he could excel at CASH, but I doubt we'll ever see him outside regularly.

This. You don't notice the FS so much when in position and making the plays he's supposed to make. It's the deep balls that aren't attempted because the FS is helping over top. It's the big runs that don't happen because he fills the cut back lane on the backside.

It’s a combo of players knowing their assignments, experience, and each player’s athletic ability with Parker’s defensive scheme that makes them so good. You put all of those pieces together and that’s what you get with Iowa’s defense. It would be great to have CDJ join them but he needs to go get paid with his draft stock being so high.

Put this defense with an offense that is somewhat marginal and Iowa could possibly be a contender for a play off spot if and only if Cade is healthy and can be the leader this team so desperately needs on the offensive side of the ball with an OC that puts them in a good position to win week in and week out. One game at a time.

I’m hoping Iowa can make that jump moving forward but until we see the offense in action with an identity, I’m not going to expect too much.

Last year for Covid players so this should change moving forward. Those young men should all get a nice NIL package.
Just to be clear, the 2025 season will be the last year in which covid years can be used. So Hurkett, Craig, Leshon, Logan Jones, Lachey, Elsbury, Black, and Richman could all play an additional year if they wanted. Nobody tell Richman though, thanks.
 
There should be a lot of excitement going into next season; guessing the home games will all be sold out again.

Hopefully we have an offense that actually complements our D and Special Teams.

“hits like a ton of bricks”……lmfao. While he’s a heady player who’s usually in good coverage position, he is by no means a thumper & is more likely the one getting run over.
I disagree, he got trucked by RB that's a big man, one time. QS is normally in much better body position for that not to happen. lastly, it happens to a lot of players, even DL and LB.

Not to be a debbie downer (although I may be), I see potential for 7 losses above. First 3, plus NW and Maryland are the only ones I see as favorable. What do I know tho!
