Does anyone still watch this anymore or remember watching to see if they choose Iowa? The one that stands out to me is the Chris Leak announcement, as I was in school at the time.

FIFYNelson kid from Nebraska looked good. Good to see small town kids that aren’t going to a rival school do well in these games.
Oh boy I remember this one. Was pretty bummed when he picked FloridaDoes anyone still watch this anymore or remember watching to see if they choose Iowa? The one that stands out to me is the Chris Leak announcement, as I was in school at the time.
Turned out to be not such a big loss.Oh boy I remember this one. Was pretty bummed when he picked Florida
Only a couple panned out from the highest ranked recruiting class in Iowa history. Jake C was in that class. Tony M. Turned out good. The rest were complete busts or so-so.The year Dan Doerning committed was a banger… 05 ish?
MVP of 2007 NC when they smoked OSU. Not a big loss? Good God.Turned out to be not such a big loss.
But we had Tate through 2006, which was my main point. But you make a fair point as well. I honestly didn’t recall how Leak did after we whooped the Zookers in 2005.MVP of 2007 NC when they smoked OSU. Not a big loss? Good God.
I feel like that game, Iowa got like five AAs. yeah only a couple produced much. Dan, i think quit football after a year or two due to medical issues. That class was quietly good... Moeaki, Eubanks, Stross, Richardson, Yanda... Then a few flame outs like JC and Bailey.Only a couple panned out from the highest ranked recruiting class in Iowa history. Jake C was in that class.

I think Doering, Richardson and Moeaki all committed during the AA game IIRCThe year Dan Doerning committed was a banger… 05 ish?
Dan Doering played and finished out his Iowa career. Might not of been at the highest level but he was a serviceable lineman that dealt with a lot of adversity and injuries his entire career.I feel like that game, Iowa got like five AAs. yeah only a couple produced much.

Bailey was the 4* fullback... he bounced around bit. Who remembers Kyle Williams?Dan Doering played and finished out his Iowa career. Might not of been at the highest level but he was a serviceable lineman that dealt with a lot of adversity and injuries his entire career.
If I am not mistaken, Jake and his Dad were the catalysts to recruiting a lot of these high level players to Iowa with ND down, along with the Illini as a lot of them were from Illinois. Wish the rb’s would have panned out in that class. Think there were two rb’s and one fullback that was huge.
Bone crusher? He wasn’t a part of that class. Stole money from players lockers as a committed recruit so they cut him loose.Bailey was the 4* fullback... he bounced around bit. Who remembers Kyle Williams?
A couple flat busts, but so many injuries in that class.Only a couple panned out from the highest ranked recruiting class in Iowa history. Jake C was in that class. Tony M. Turned out good. The rest were complete busts or so-so.
I think he was the year before.Bone crusher? He wasn’t a part of that class. Stole money from players lockers as a committed recruit so they cut him loose.
He was in that class for sure. Don't remember if he announced at the game or committed earlier.I think Ryan Bain was around that time too and played in the all-American game, might've even picked Iowa during it.
#23 was in that class.Only a couple panned out from the highest ranked recruiting class in Iowa history. Jake C was in that class. Tony M. Turned out good. The rest were complete busts or so-so.

Anyone know how Nolan and/or Weisskopf did?Will Nolan OL was on roster.
How about Ryan Bain whose Dad wanted a letter in writing that Kirk would start him on the DL as a soph, and Kirk told him that he would personally help Ryan pack his bags. lol...A couple flat busts, but so many injuries in that class.
Dace was good; would have been great without the injuries.
Moeaki could have been an all-time great if he could have stayed healthy.
Alex Kanellis with concussions.
I don't think Tyler Blum or Dan Doering were ever consistently healthy.
Kyle Williams went to Purdue and was busted for rape and/or armed robbery after brutally beating a coed, maybe two, and is doing 25+ or so.Bone crusher? He wasn’t a part of that class. Stole money from players lockers as a committed recruit so they cut him loose.
I was actually trying to remember the details on him. What you wrote is what I recalled but I thought he transferred to Illinois and had a nice career. Turns out that is totally wrong. Robbie Bain played at Illinois. Ryan transferred to Akron and never played.How about Ryan Bain whose Dad wanted a letter in writing that Kirk would start him on the DL as a soph, and Kirk told him that he would personally help Ryan pack his bags. lol...
Exactly. He transferred to the Zips, and never did shit. Think he was a 4 star in that class.......I was actually trying to remember the details on him.

I took it to mean the stuff associated with him off the field. It is good his name isn't tied to Iowa in a Pierre Pierce sort of way.1 game doesn't define a career. How was his NFL career.....he was solid QB in college, not a star. Take it easy.
Ah, PP. Very good player who was always thinking with the wrong head. Beginning of the end for Alfraud.I took it to mean the stuff associated with him off the field. It is good his name isn't tied to Iowa in a Pierre Pierce sort of way.

I hadn't seen those issues for Leak........means Kelly is still the best Leak in the family.I took it to mean the stuff associated with him off the field. It is good his name isn't tied to Iowa in a Pierre Pierce sort of way.
I should Google first I'd hate to be wrong but I think underage girl stuff.I hadn't seen those issues for Leak........means Kelly is still the best Leak in the family.
Lost his teaching certificate, didn't look like good stuff at all.I should Google first I'd hate to be wrong but I think underage girl stuff.
Really? The topic was the All American game and the players who committ during the game. Several AA's committed to Iowa during that game and at the time of the game our class was ranked top 5, maybe even #2 at that time. One of those highly thought of recruits was Bain........Another thread hijacked by Hawkeye nostalgia.
