Focus on Offense for the love! Build an offense for the future, one that compliments our Defense... we need mean and nasty OL.
Remaining Targets in 2022 Class and 2023 Priority Names to know:
- Thread starter Bryzzo
- Start date
Very impressed by his tackles and speed. You go no further when impacted by this guy! Absolutely drives through people. Really hopeful he joins the Hawks.
Iowa signed 6 OL last year so taking 2-3 this year makes sense. You take too many OL and then other positions lacking in numbers.
I do expect Iowa will take 1 or 2 OL from portal but will have to wait and see.
If they are WIRFs like, yes. Or Iowa needs a JC OT like Mashall Yanda.
I suspect Iowa is unlikely to find Stud OT's in the portal. If they are a stud OT and a 3rd year or more removed from HS, why go to Iowa to be on a chitty offense instead of declaring for NFL draft?
It seems plausible that Iowa might aid in developing an individual OL, enhancing their draft stock. I doubt know how long you’ve been a fan, but they have a history in that department.
How did Iowa State get more of the top 10 Iowa recruits than Iowa?
Four to three
I think only two of those kids had offers from Iowa. Deyo has an Iowa offer listed too, but as has been discussed ad nauseam, he likely didn’t have an offer when he committed to ISU.
I believe one of the 2 LB commits they got grew up an ISU fan (bad parenting in my opinion). TE Burkle Iowa never offered which is telling considering we missed out on our top couple of options. Last one is Deyo maybe the only W for ISU. But have read on here rumors and what not of grades issues. Link on a thread when he committed how the likes of Kstate backed off citing their Rivals writers about these concerns. Did Iowa do the same? Who knows a moot point now but with us getting someone like Graves who looks like he could slide on in the inside and have Crawford and potentially Allen at DE it is no loss missing out on Deyo. Especially considering how young our DTs are that played this year and that's not even counting an injured Logan Jones for most of the year.
After all the positive momentum ISU got out of the fluke COVID year was washed away in Sept. and just when people thought the tide was turning their way finally over Iowa with their "hot" young coach, our issues from summer of 20' until we end up winning 10 games steal the mo back and land maybe the biggest recruit ever out of Iowa on top of the #2 to boot.

Are you serious, Clark? Nwankpa and Graves are light-years better than any other in-state players.
The KSU guy said KSU, Iowa, and Oregon were no longer an option for Deyo when committed to ISU. The dots connected.
I'm wondering if anyone committed during their visit(s) this weekend? I know the staff usually lets the kid(s) maker their announcement. Perhaps, we will hear something tonight or tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
Sounds like some of the visitors from this weekend who are among the list of possible, if not probable, commits will be announcing Wednesday when they sign.
He's really get a lot of 100% to Iowa predictions. Course the kid could be pulling legs.
A bunch of schools dropped Deyo on almost the same day. There's something there is something out their but just do not know what yet.
I am really hoping for Entringer. He could be a breakout star in college. Dude has only been playing football for 2 seasons. He has elite closing speed and hits hard. His body is still developing into football. He will be a steal for whomever gets him. He is the cream of the crop of the remaining targets IMHO.
I'm sure this has been asked, but is Allen related to the guys that tore it up in the interior offensive line at Michigan State?
Iowa has 2 TE commits already. It's possible, but I'd be surprised. Ton of turmoil surrounding the TEs Iowa missed on. If Iowa could flip a TE, I'd be going after Eli.
Yeah, Laporta leaves next year and the only other TE on scholarship is Schulte. I guess filling Maimen's (sp) spot.
You’re making me question myself, but I don’t think they are even of the same skin color?
Lachey and Yelverton on scholarship, Schulte is not (not yet anyways).
Think 3 main areas for 22’ in my opinion after previous class to focus on were RB, TE and DBs. Hit 2 home runs with our rbs with contrasting styles. Phenomenal job there. TEs missed with top targets. 2 development guys who probably won’t see the field for 2-3 years but potential is there and Vanderbush could be that prototypical Iowa guy give him few years to develop his body to be another gem. Lastly DBs if we can land at least 2 of the 3 or even all of Hall, Trader and Entringer to go along with the crown jewel of Nwankpa would be another fantastic job addressing position of need in this class.
