Scott Starzyc flipping to Michigan?
- Thread starter squeezebox
- Start date
Well, with Dakin only a freshman and doing well...
Starzyc is a projected kicker not a punter.
His profile has him as #1 kicker and #4 punter... Tripp Woody is behind Stevens and was pretty decent in HS. Dunno, kids change their minds like the wind sometimes. I'm not overly concerned about the kicking game, we usually have that pretty solid.
He is a projected kicker, and if the Iowa coaches offered him, I'd say that certainly means something. There is a pretty huge drop off between Stevens and Woody, and I think that says a lot about Stevens's leg strength. I will admit, I was glad that the news of a potential de-commit was a kicker.
Pretty much. It’s not like we’re talking about a four star DL or TE prospect.
Maybe he sees an uptick in the offense and wants to do more than kick PATs and handle kickoff duties. He committed when Iowa had a dog doo offense so he had visions of long FGs.
he knows Lester is going to turn Iowa into a offensive powerhouse and there will be no need to kick FG's in the near future 
yes but aren’t you shitting bricks that lester will get poached as hche knows Lester is going to turn Iowa into a offensive powerhouse and there will be no need to kick FG's in the near future
next year?
Nope. He said when he got here he wanted to raise his kids in one spot. Coaches that do well are treated well. We also tend to give them time. Only reason expectations are so high this year is because of the experience of the OL and the entire defense. So we have realistic expectations compared to about any other place in the country and that is unheard of in today's coaching world.
he’s been okay so far but i wrote that in context of the post i responding to
Apparently, there is another outstanding HS kicker in of all places, Ankeny….Imagine that?
I sincerely hope no one is worked up about maybe potentially missing out on a kicker. Of all positions that a serviceable option can be found, that has to be near the top. (no offense to mepo or any parents of potential kickers)
an outstanding kicker can easily add +1 to the win column for a team like iowa. maybe i’ve watched too much kirkball but i would give a true difference making kicker (and i am NOT saying this guy is that) equal value as several other positions on offense
Nebraska, Minnesota...already have losses due to bad kicking. ISU would not have upset us without their kicker who was capable of nailing 50-60 yarders.
Desi is right, a great kicker can easily add a win each year, maybe more.

TE is one of the harder positions to rate out of high school. Yelverton was a bum.
Iowa State's kicker was a walk on from Dubuque, Iowa. He nailed us.
You do have to wonder if Stevens resurgence and solid play will play into this. He's only a soph. and basically only one guy kicks.
That's what I thought. So Starzyk would have to sit one year. Maybe that's enough. He wants to come in and kick right away. But...he already knew DS's eligibility when he committed.
Is it possible Lester may want to stick around til Kirk leaves and put his hat in the ring for the Iowa job?
Everyone has all of these theories, but there's only one answer as to why this could be happening:

Wait...so if he does go to Michigan it would be the same exact situation as Iowa where he'd be coming in with a senior incumbent at PK and a better one at P as Iowa's guy will have 3 years left while Michigan's guy will be done after the year...
Sound logic on your part
Unless Zvada, Michigan kicker, goes to the NFL. He’s a pretty good kicker. They’re a very good special teams school in their own right.
