Iowa Hawkeyes​


We’ve seen enough of the Kirk Ferentz model to know that the Iowa Hawkeyes aren’t an attractive landing spot for top quarterback recruits, but that doesn’t mean they won’t try to land one.

The Hawkeyes are a consistently above-average football team without ever having a quarterback, which is the selling point. That being said, it’s career suicide if Moss has NFL aspirations unless he can break the cycle of bad Iowa QBs.

If Iowa can find the funding to coax a top transfer to Iowa City, the Hawkeyes are a real threat to compete for Big Ten championships. As it stands, the next talented quarterback transfer will be their first, and I’m in wait-and-see mode until someone finally decides to take the risk.
The good news is that the one of the men (Brian) responsible for our QB debacle's is gone, and all the QB's on the team less Stratton are his recruits. Iowa had no QB development, but is that surprising when Iowa had a former Center recruiting and coaching QB's? At least Lester played the position, and the fact that he was able to take Kirk and Brian's QB's and increase the offensive output by a 100 yards a game and almost double the scoring gives me hope that Iowa's QB woes are behind us. As far as the article is concerned, it's right on point. If Brian were still QB coach and OC, there would be ZERO chance a decent QB would want to sign with Iowa, but I have more faith in Tim Lester. Lets see if it pays off.
