Per the front page Wirfs offensive lineman of year in BIG. I know, I know we already knew that but this probably etches it in stone.

That's a First Round ticket-puncher.He graded out as the top OL in the Big 10
I actually hope he and AJ return for the good of the team. They should purchase a big old insurance policy to protect against an injury.King should have gone. It cost him a lot of money. And yes, Wirf is gone. At least he better be.
I wholeheartedly agree!!!Make some $ Tristan and win a national championship at Iowa!
was he taller and faster his jr year?King should have gone. It cost him a lot of money. And yes, Wirf is gone. At least he better be.
that would have been gold.......if you spelled his name rightGet what you're Wirf, Tristain.
I love this attitude of "for the good of the team". Have you ever passed a promotion up, or finding another job "for the good of the team"?I actually hope he and AJ return for the good of the team. They should purchase a big old insurance policy to protect against an injury.
I'm with you on this.I love this attitude of "for the good of the team". Have you ever passed a promotion up, or finding another job "for the good of the team"?
As much as I would love for him to stay I think he is gone. If he and AJE both go that means 6 underclassmen drafted from the Hawkeyes roster the last two years. 4 in the first round. Has to be a great recruiting tool I would think
DOH!that would have been gold.......if you spelled his name right
Makes perfect sense...Washington & Detroit both have experience drafting Hawkeyes in the 1st Round.Front page of yahool.com college football tab has a mock draft with Wirfs a 3 pick to the Redskins and Epenesa a 6 to the Lions...that would be pretty sweet
Coming of a Thorpe year he probably wouldn't have dropped to the 5th.was he taller and faster his jr year?

She’s not worth the pain bro... you’ll find somebody elseFlawed analogy. Words “promotion” and “job” imply you’re getting paid already.
Better analogy have you ever been in college having a great time with your buddies, it’s still early in the night, and that girl you’ve been thinking about texts saying “Wanna meet downtown?” With just the right emojis.
Well, it’s pretty much a sure thing. But you’re having so much fun with your bros. Hell, she’ll still be down there in an hour or two right?
Maybe. But **** happens. Maybe that was your chance you blew it.
King is not worried he is gonna get paidKing should have gone. It cost him a lot of money. And yes, Wirf is gone. At least he better be.
Just like Geno Stone.King his junior year was graded out as a 4th-7th rounder he did not hurt his draft stock coming back.. just because you win a college award doesn’t make you a first round pick.. the same flaws the nfl saw his junior year prevented him from going higher his senior year... but they missed the one thing that matters he is flat out a competitor
I didn't noI thought everyone new he was gone for 12 months? Hes a top 15 pick. Winning some award doesnt change that
Finances of course are a HUGE factor for anyone considering leaving early for the Draft. I presume this would be a Family decision, and since they are relatively local, and may be having the time of their lives watching Tristan at Iowa, maybe they are willing to sacrifice for another year?From the Gazette feature this past summer on him, his mom has worked her butt off to provide for him and his sister. Holding off on the opportunity to provide for his family for another year is going to be tough to do. So much $ involved. That's gotta factor in whether either of them want it to or not. Can always complete his degree in the off season.
I hope. You have to wonder though, as close as the Hawks have been the last couple of years, if those players would have put Iowa, (a developmental program) over the top. Losing 6 high level NFL draftees going into their senior year is a killer for the program. Hopefully we'll continue to see the uptick in recruiting and make this a moot point in years too come. If we get to the reload, not rebuild mode then its all good...As much as I would love for him to stay I think he is gone.

This.....It is a great recruiting tool but also pretty detrimental to developmental program like Iowa. See Iowa’s TD production this year vs last year after losing two TE’s to the NFL as an example.
