Are there any UNI players we are in on?! Maybe play a game in the UNI-Dome this year to strut our brand?! Maybe Kingston too!
I'm not. He just can't resist keeping his hands on it. Captain Kirk obviously called the strategy in the second half of the bowl game that cost Iowa the game.
Another negative expert.
Proven idiots are typically Kirk critics.
I never said I like a closed competition. In fact I hope they do "battle" it out but I would be very surprised that Mark transferred somewhere, especially Iowa, without the inferred message he would be QB1. I personally think Brendan is the perfect change of pace guy. His style of play doesn't lead me to believe he can survive a full season of #1 snaps, as does the evidence of him being knocked out of at least one game this season.
Speed and deep threat. Two things desperately needed in WR room. Haven’t had someone Ds had to worry about beating them over the top and keep them honest since ISM.
As for anyone complaining or ridiculing. Iowa needs to improve our wr and we aren’t getting any P4 guys at this position with any productivity. This is type of player thinking we needed and glad we got.

Anderson arrived under some very unfortunate circumstances. He was oft-injured which limited his playing time. He spent his first season playing with perhaps the worst combination of OC and QB's in the history of FBS. Oh did I mention that it was the worst passing offense in all of FBS over the past 2 years? IMO, had he been healthy and playing within a competent offense, he'd have had a very good Iowa career. As it was, he only played in 4 games this year, but did catch 5 balls with an average of 21 yards per catch.
Did I go into a coma, and wake up into a world where a 5’9” male is considered a dwarf?
Also, 5 foot 9 feet tall, is fvcking enormous.
Gronowski, check.
Johnson-Arigu (MBB), check.
Now Phllips, check.

I don't think Kirk ever ran the QB room. It's definitely Lester's room now, but previously it was O'Keefe, Davis, O'Keefe, and B. Ferentz.
I think he’s suggesting Kirk doesn’t decide who will be starting at QB for Iowa anymore.
Kirk most certainly did do that before Lester. I do believe Lester has most of the input on that today.
I think he was probably much more involved in it over the last several years than he had been in a long time given all of the problems on offense and particularly at that position. If not, then he should have been fired along with Brian for management malpractice.
Yes sir! I was really hoping we could bring Sam into the fold and lo and behold we did! I have a very good feeling about him and watching that video tells me he has good hands to go along with his open field speed. Welcome to the family Sam!
Totally agree. Hard to be too critical of Anderson between injuries and And he’s also had a revolving door and total shitshow at the QB position too. Hard for a WR to truly gain timing, confidence, rapport, and success with what we’ve been running out there at QB the last few years.
This is wise, given the WR room now.
Do will still have time, this cycle, to sign portal transfers? If so, maybe focus on other needs currently?
There is no time limit on adding portal players. They can commit 365 days a year. They only have certain periods of time in which they enter the portal.
To answer your question. Yes, there is still time, as long someone is still there to take.
As an outsider looking in, I would imagine they need to focus on the secondary.
With all the guys coming back and up on the OL, it’s not as urgent as I once said, but depth would be great.
To your point, they really don’t seem too worried about the OL. They must really like the younger guys. I think the OL is in a position where they’ll take a guaranteed starter at tackle, but that might be about it? I think the talent is probably there, but there is going to be a spot with little to no experience as things sit.
I’d be satisfied if they just get a corner, but I suspect they end up with 2-3 more portal additions before it’s all said and done?
So stats are the determining factor? There is no work ethic, personality, desire to be great, etc to distinguish one player from another?
Now Brian, you don't even have a 4th string QB. No wonder you were a total flop at Iowa.
