I think Trevor Lawrence should forego the NFL draft and transfer to Iowa so we can win the national championship......
If we dip into the portal this offseason I believe it'll be for the defensive line. I feel good about our db's especially with Parker at the helm. Those guys are always next man up ready to go
Definitely a need at CB. I'd like to see PP pick up two. As it stands now, Iowa really can't afford more than one injury at that position. A multi-year experienced CB or two would really help. That said, I am impressed the way Terry Roberts has performed - he looks like an emerging star at CB.
Guessing 95% of all d1 schools will have someone enter the transfer portal between now and the start of the next season. You don't think Iowa will have anymore once spring practices come around and guys see where they fall on the dept chart or once fall practices approaches? It's only natural with roster sizes and they way the game/rules have changed that some players will look for new opportunities.
He never made any mention of there being 'ANY' problem. Oh, and he could be right. Some may want to wait until after the bowl game if there is one or wait to decompress after this odd season before coming to a decision. There has never been a year where players could find a reason to move on.
Hence did they really matter??...Brents could have been a stud, but I'm not sure he's still into the game mentally.
Portal = recruiting 24/7/365 with no dead periods.
Missouri's past racial skeletons did not seem to hurt their recruiting this year. I and a number of other posters stated when everything hit the fan this summer that there was no better coach and human being to address the issues. Just sorry to see that the liberal biased Iowa and National media drug an extremely high character individual through the proverbial mud. PATHETIC!!
Can’t really blame them though. The committee has shown us that if you attend a non-power 5 school, you have absolutely no shot at a title and nobody will take you seriously. This was the year for an 8 team playoff but all we got was the same damn teams we see every year.
I doubt it but if so, that is the new world of portal transfers and immediate grad transfer eligibility.
Who said he couldn't win the position? Bringing in a transfer doesn't automatically mean he will have to wait. No promises are made to incoming transfers as far as I know.
Of course they expect to play a lot but they are not going to be handed playing time unless they earn it. That's another tenet Ferentz has strongly emphasized over and over for the last 20 years. Signing CB transfers is no different. It does not mean that you "say goodbye to Roberts and Harris". That is a ridiculous assumption IMO. And, as I stated earlier, if that does happen then so be it. In any event, Roberts in particular does not impress me as the type of person who would fold up his tent and leave.
Worry as a form of intertainment is another matter entirely. I only suggest that no one NEEDS to worry. But be happy!
