He got punked by Blair Sanderson earlier this year when he said OM played the same position as Brandon Smith? I think I found him on twitter. Get a load of this guy.
Who’s the poster here who thinks Oliver Martin is by far our best WR?

Why are people talking about nw 2018? Is it so crazy that tj and ism were are top pass catchers in a game? We run for 65 total yards and the reason we lose is not playing a poor blocking TE enough? Lol
Iowa returns more WR receptions and yards by far than any other season under KF and this guy complains about Martin not getting playing time. lol
ISM is the most dangerous player on the team.... Tracey is our HR threat... Smith is our best redzone threat..... I guess you can make an argument between OM and Ragaini but Ragaini hasn't done anything yet to doubt his worth for the team.... Only solution is to run 5 WR sets all game, lol
Exactly. Don't get it. The Iowa WR room is as good as it's been in years, likely the best in the KF era with number of guys already who are playing at a high level (Smith, ISM, Tracy, Ragaini). You can be a good WR and not get on the field right now at Iowa.
Plenty of years he would be among the top 3 WRs, but this year he’s 5.
I think Nico's production and hands, fell off later in the season. So, I think the door is open to get OM on the field more. Additionally, Oliver was a very good Punt return guy in HS, so I think he's going to maybe get a shot there, as well.
95% of all skill position players on Iowa's team were good return guys in HS. That is the norm for all teams and means nothing at the collegiate level.
We can agree to DISAGREE. I'm hoping to see Oliver Martin using his physical running style, speed and agility on Punts for the Hawkeyes, this year.
How was the Hawkeye return average last yr?
Speaking for myself, I'll wait for the season (if there's one) to unfold and watch a few games before speculating on who is best or should be getting the deserved PT.
What we're told, every position is open and you have to earn it every game.

That’s not something you have to worry about with Oliver
Last I heard Harb was having so health issues. He was away for awhile and people got worried but he popped back in to say he is in a fight.
Well, IIRC Martin had a bad shoulder for a good chunk of fall camp and perhaps lingering into the season. A talented WR room and injury is a recipe for not being able to climb the ladder and depth chart.
?
I think you are wrong on these. And I don't see an injured OM making a difference.
Punt return issues aside, I don't recall the drops. In fact, that catch that was stolen from him on our final drive in Lincoln was one of Iowa's all-time great plays.

Sorry to hear of Harb's health issues. Hope he gets well and starts posting again.
I saw these same tweets the other day and made the same connection, but I’m not in favor of doxxing fellow Iowa fans. Just my .02
Not trying to dox anyone, just proud of my (and hell, yours too) detective skills.
I get that and didn’t mean it as a “snappy” reply the way it probably seemed. Hell, it is also possible there are multiple fans (especially in the Iowa City area) that truly believe Oliver is under-utilized. All good!
Didn't Harb imply racism was involved too? Ie, his black position coach was holding him back in favor of black players ISM, Brandon & Tyrone?
I think Oliver is really gifted but this isn’t the 2015 WR room... no disrespect but it wasn’t deep like this current group. OM imo play a lot more this year and will probably IMO start his senior year with Tracy and Ragaini
Yep. 3rd. I’m 38 years old and this is literally the most loaded Iowa has been at receiver in my life. All Petras has to do is not shit the bed royally and our offense is going to be SICK.
Damn. I don’t even remember this thread. But good call. Harb isn’t a troll. He’s actually a total dumbass.
I thought so too, but then I saw OM’s vertical.
