You're right. Being IOWA we should recruit and get only 4 star and 5 star recruits every year..We should be getting higher rated RB’s. If u can’t admit that, you’re either ignorant or lying.

I'd be willing to bet he doesn't come close to reaching the numbers of Wisconsin's guys lately. I think he's elite but our OC is not
Other than goodson is it really?
Consistently
i know and I agree. We don’t know if Parks is even at that level - Iowa has had a few similar Ranked RB recruits prove not to be. What I do feel comfortable saying is that Goodson is going to be a very good, of not elite, Over the next few years.
I think its their average of 6'7 320 OL that sets them apart..
Well you have Goodson who is great and potentially better.I would like better than decent and pretty good... only way to take the next step. Thankfully the wr will help some.

AKA Brock? He was a 4 star back and picked who again? (;-) not sure on his speed but Iowa needs more speedy backs that at anytime they touch the ball they have the ability to take it to the house ... I only see 2 players and that’s IKM and Goodson, not sure about the 2 Williams guys though
I can't even remember the last time a four-star RB panned out at Iowa. Was Albert Young a four-star? That's going back a decade and a half if so.
Fans like to speculate about the zone blocking scheme, quality of backs, etc., but I think the biggest issue the past decade has been the anemic passing game. After KOK left for the Dolphins, the passing game went to hell. No one respected the three yards and out of bounds aerial attack. So, yeah, you saw a lot of eight-man boxes and run blitzes. Stuff like that tends to stifle any run game.
Tyler Goodson is a stud. You saw what he was capable of at the end of last season when given a bigger role. Tyler will also have the advantage of a balanced offense. Iowa actually has playmakers at wide receiver that they haven't had since DJK/McNutt. It's odd how good Adam Robinson looked during that era, ain't it? Goodson > Robinson.
If there is actually a full season and he stays healthy, I would place a modest bet Goodson is north of 1,500 yards rushing this season.
Yeah, have they EVER had a 4 Star RB pan out? Was Wegher a 4 star? He had the makings of being that guy but obviously off-the-field killed him.
I agree on completely on Goodson. The huge upgrade on WR's and if LaPorta and other TE's continue as we think they will (and Petras is at least above-average), I think Goodson has a chance to have a couple of outstanding seasons.
It's the racism at Iowa. Kids are seeing the true Iowa and it isn't pretty.Maybe it is just like the video game and Whittingham called him and promised him playing time this year. Meanwhile we spent all our minutes on other kids because he thought he was a lock.

Cryclown fanatic is all fired up with Parks to Utah. Baby brother finally has a victory in the 2021 class lol
Yes, one was 2-time all-conference and honorable mention all-America from Pro Football Focus with the other a walk-on for 2 years.
I believer Wegher and Cooker were 4-stars. Not 100 percent on that.
Iowa will be fine at running back.
I could be an elite RB at wisconsin running behind their line. Not saying JT isn't elite, but they churn out big as OL too.So you are saying Goodson is elite? What leads you to believe Parks will be better than any of our other running backs? Taylor was a three star running back by 247 going to Wisconsin. Was he considered elite when he signed with Wisconsin? Just trying to understand where you draw the line for a running back to be elite.
Yes, Wegher and Coker, along with Greg Garmon and Jermelle Lewis are the 4* RBs during Ferentz's era. Nothing over ~1 year of production from any of them due to injuries, transfer.I believer Wegher and Cooker were 4-stars. Not 100 percent on that.
