Ability to run away from people looks like a question mark, but he might be a heck of a slot guy. (this is the first thing i have been watching in all these videos as we lack guys with "break away" spead outside of a rb and ISM) He does have several long TDs but has to beat people with moves, sometimes twice. He seems to have outstanding body control and good hands(highlight video i know). He does seem to have some "playmaker" in him similar to ISM in high school.
Pretty sure you won't see a Hilgenberg family member on a football field. CTE has decimated that family.
Why do You want to focus on race? What relevance does it have?
You’re either saying, white people are worse than other races; the definition of racism, or you’re saying that white people are better than other races; the definition of racism.
The only other thing you could be possibly be trying to say is, is an general observation of Iowa gets a lot of white wide receivers. If that’s you’re intent than it is like me saying winter is cold in Iowa, it’s irrelevant to what’s being discussed.
Don’t call me PC, I have no issue with racial discussion when it’s relevant and not blatenly racist.

Yes, receivers who can, well, RECEIVE, are pretty cool. And if they have some speed, so much the better. But if you can't catch it, that speed doesn't make much difference...kinda like the color of your skin. 
Back when I was at IOWA, one of the players told me that Bob Stoops came back and gave a speech during spring or early fall practice about what it means to be a Hawkeye. I asked him why Bob was in town and he mentioned that Bob brought one of his kids to the Children’s Hospital. Not sure if that was Drake and I don’t really care, but it’s crazy how all of these things are coming full circle. The national media would have a field day with this given The Wave.
If Drake signs and Bob comes on as our new coach/consultant, my head will explode.

I heard a great story about Bob Stoops and Hayden Fry. Maybe someone on this board can validate if it is true?
Bob's father passed away. I believe he was a high school football coach and the person that told the story said he had a heart attack on the sideline during a game? It was the way he wanted to go.
Anyway, Hayden and his wife arrive early for the funeral. Bob is really really angry. They are going to bury his father in a suit. Bob said his father would never want to be buried in a suit.
Hayden tells Bob, I got a jersey in the trunk. Hayden and Bob give the jersey to the mortician. Bob's father is buried in a suit but with a Hawkeye jersey over it. The way he would want it.

A number 41 jersey was placed over him him ( not on him). Bob's Rose Bowl ring was left with him as well.
Yep! Just what we need, more favoritism, nepotism, recruiting buddies kids bc their old man once donned the B&G.
Uhhhmmmm Okay.
Oh and we definitely need more slow, white guys at WR. We alrerady have Max Cooper to fill the roll Stoops Jr. would employ. The more things change the more things stay the same ( in the Iowa FB program). This is why Iowa is in this state at WR it is now folks.
WTF already.? This is a recruit that is FCS all day. This program needs big, fast talented WR's. Period.
If he commits great but don't kid yourself and blow smoke up our collective asses. The WR position in this program is in the cellar. If it's gonna improve we need more ISM and Tyronr Tracy types. Not slow white kids that are givin a rope bc Dad is Bobby Stoops or whoever.
Thanks. I was on personal travel and wearing some Hawkeye gear. Another traveler in the airport noticed it. He was from Youngstown and told me the story.
Its still a cool story. It was drapped over him and Bob and Mike shared that number. Too young to lose a father.
You sir.... are a god damned idiot
You weren't complaining about that "favoritism, nepotism, recruiting buddies kids bc their old man once donned the B&G" when Epenesa committed, now were you. It's the only reason he came here. You're 'mad' alright. You do realize that Brooks has a track scholly at Iowa, aren't you? And we've had pretty good success with coaches kids and 'legacies'.
Cooper is one of the fastest guys on the team Mr. Race obsessed guy. Would you have been ok with that slow white guy Oliver Martin coming here? Yeah, we don't need any more Kevin Kaspers or Tim Dwights, etc..
So your already convinced that Tracy is better than Evans? Because he's black right? Look at all the recruits that we've brought in the last 5 yrs. at WR that were of 'color' and supposedly speed guys. Where are they all now? Most 'washed out' with a few riding the pine. Oh, I bet it was because Iowa doesn't play their best players, lol. Just shut up.
Wow, just wow. LOL
Now that your done with that rebuttal you can go back to setting your trot lines river rat. Flatheads are bitin’ redneck!

Could you comment on Stoop’s football ability rather than his color and heritage? Something tells me his ability on the field is going to be more of a factor on whether he sees the field or not.
As I’ve said before I’m not a PC person, I’m not naive to think that there isn’t more black athletes vs white. That’s a statistical thing that can be measured by the amount of professional black vs white athletes.
However, when you start saying no white people can have ability, or start questions why someone got a scholarship because of skin color/nepotism, you better be able to back it up with actual analysis. Not just he’s white; therefore, not worthy.
What makes him slow, his 40 time? Because you haven’t posted such numbers.
Can he not catch? Because you haven’t mentioned how many drops he’s had.
Can he not run routes? Because you haven’t mentioned how many mistakes he’s made in his highlights.
Can he not block? I’m going to stop this now.
